Lyrics

You're not Bridget Bardot, I'm not Jack Palance
I'm not Shirley Temple by any circumstance
Or Fred Astaire
You're not Sidney Taffler, I'm not Dirk Bogarde
I'm not very stylish, and you're not avant garde
Or Lional Blair
We're as common as muck
Bonne chance, viel gl'ck, good luck
Where bold is beautiful, we don't give a damn
Luvva duck, we're as common as muck
You're not Victor Hugo, I'm not Patience Strong
I'm not Rodney Rygate or Yvonne Goolagong
Shirley Abicair, Oh!
I'm not Nellie Melba, you're not Nellie Dean
We do our best endeavours to keep our doobries clean
Because we care!
We're as common as muck
Buona fortuna, vayas con Dios, Good luck!
Where bold is beautiful, we don't give a damn
Luvva duck, We're as common as muck
We're as common as muck
Bonne chance, viel gl'ck, Good luck!
Where bold is beautiful, we don't give a damn
Luvva duck! We're as common as muck
