Edgar Guest - The Average ManEdgar Guest - The Average Man
Work rating: Low


MINE is a song of the average man Who has been on earth since the world began! You`ll find him kind and you`ll find him true, You`ll find him cheerful and happy, too. He`s never proud and he`s never mean, He walks the earth with a conscience clean, The squarest fellow that God could plan On earth today is the average man. He loves his wife and he loves his home, He isn`t the fellow who likes to roam; He keeps his love for his fellow man And bears his burden as best he can; He`s a gentle neighbor, a faithful friend, And will fight for him to the bitter end; The decentest fellow that God could plan On earth today is the average man. The average man doesn`t cheat or lie Or wrong his brothers. He doesn`t try To climb to glory and gain the crown By pulling a weaker brother down. He`s always found on the side of right, His creed is always a spotless white; And oft as the wrongs of the world I scan, I thank the Lord for the average man.
