Seems things turned out a little rough on good old Lenny Johnson He didn't qualify to put his feet up on the moon He never won a medal and he run no fancy mansion He's been a mess and always outside looking in
The world is bigger than a cake, said good old Lenny Johnson He never jumped up on a bus and went away The girls all seem to look right through the poor old Lenny Johnson He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray
There's no promotion waiting for a man like Lenny Johnson No invitation wedding in his mailbox anytime His life is just a kill of time without a real sensation One of those lonely people, silently in line
The world is bigger than a cake said good old Lenny Johnson He never jumped up on a bus and went away The girls all seem to look right through the poor old Lenny Johnson He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray
The world is bigger than a cake said good old Lenny Johnson He never jumped up on a bus and went away The world is bigger than my heart said good old Lenny Johnson He never jumped up on a bus and went away The girls all seem to look right through all that is Lenny Johnson He wasn't handsome and his mind just went astray
Nothing's waiting for Johnson's Lenny He's just a boy, like so many Others, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers
Nothing's waiting for Johnson's Lenny He's just a boy, like so many Others, sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers
After all, maybe Lenny went around the world On a bus or a plane Never said goodbye
