Maybe We Did
David Brown / Gene Dunford / Pete Atkin
We didn’t take that slow boat to China
In a luxury cabin suite
We didn’t get to parachute naked
From thirty thousand feet
We didn’t do the Himalayas
On a motorcycle or a mule
We didn’t get to be at one with nature
And swim with a dolphin school
You sure have meant a lot to me
It’s been a pleasure and a privilege
We may not have won the lottery
But then, hey, hey, hey Babe, maybe we did
I didn’t make a million dollars
Playing on the stock exchange
You never found a market for your Jim-Jams
And globalise the range
Aunt Mona left her money to the dog’s home
She was always barking mad
That sure bet at the 2 o’clock at Kempton
Turned out to be a nag
We’ve lived our own adventure
Our very own odyssey
No one said it was going to be easy
Sometimes we were all at sea
At times it was a major struggle
Just to make ends meet
We jumped through so many hoops
But always landed on our feet
