Don't put me on a pedestal or praise me to the sky|Can't raise your expectations, I'm just your average guy|Don't make me jump through any hoops or set your hopes too high|I'm not Mister Wonderful or Tom Terrific just your average guy|I'm just your average guy doing what it takes to get by|Just your average guy|The higher up the monkey goes the more you see his rump|Going up to high in the air means coming down with a bump boom|I'm just your average guy doing what it takes to get by|Just your average guy|Don't get that moonshine in your eyes tomorrow is another day|When you may see that yesterday's hero really has feet of clay|Don't put me on a pedestal or praise me to the sky|Can't raise your expectations, Uh-uh I'm just your average guy|Just an average guy, yeah I'm just an average guy no expectations|There goes the monkey|
