Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFBGBG HIHIJDJD| If you and I should chance to meet | A |
| I guess you wouldn't care | B |
| I'm sure you'd pass me in the street | A |
| As if I wasn't there | B |
| You'd never look me in the face | C |
| My modest mug to scan | D |
| Because I'm just a commonplace | C |
| And Ordinary Man | D |

| But then it may be you are too | E |
| A guy of every day | F |
| Who does the job he's told to do | E |
| And takes the wife his pay | F |
| Who makes a home and kids his care | B |
| And works with pick or pen | G |
| Why Pal I guess we're just a pair | B |
| Of Ordinary Men | G |
| - | |
| We plug away and make no fuss | H |
| Our feats are never crowned | I |
| And yet it's common coves like us | H |
| Who make the world go round | I |
| And as we steer a steady course | J |
| By God's predestined plan | D |
| Hats off to that almighty Force | J |
| THE ORDINARY MAN | D |
