He made the news today for the first time on page three
Left the local supermarket job in sale and figures
Makes a treat each week, tomorrow sits at home
He'd be such a lovely boy if he'd only leave the girls alone
You could see it in his face
Each time he ran away
It was a ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity

Bathroom porcelain and handles made of brass
Took the proper grooming and full year language class
They're sure he's the guy to snatch them from this scene
and take them to some place they're sure their mother's never been

You could see it in his face
As the colour drained away
It was a ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity
A ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity
A ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity

Cold evenings create a living room dance
Spend late nights revolving around one lost chance
Oh yeah

They're gonna jump the train it's the last one today
Join us in the back row of the ones that got away
Join a big parade, it works for you and me
And you'll add a thrill because you'll hear it on TV

Throw it up against the wall
Just to see how far it falls
'cause it's a ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity
A ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity
A ba-ba-ba-ba-ba big opportunity
