Life Beyond the Manor
Lyrics:
Verse
"In the grand old manor, with polished floors,
Serving tea and biscuits, but I want much more.
I dust off the portraits, keep the silver bright,
But deep down inside, I crave the spotlight.
I dream of bright lights, where I can be bold,
Living my life in stories untold.
With a twinkle in my eye, I’ll take on the world,
A jolly old butler, waiting to be unfurled."
Chorus
"I dream of the life where I’m truly free,
Chasing my dreams, just being me.
But here in the manor, I serve with glee,
Just a jolly old butler, pouring the tea!"
Verse
"In my wildest dreams, I’m a basketball star,
Shooting for three, from the arc, not too far.
Dribbling the ball, feeling quite free,
Part of the team, it’s all about me.
Passing to Jordan, feeling the thrill,
With Pippen and Magic, we’ll conquer with skill.
In the Dream Team’s light, I’d finally soar,
The top scorer’s title, I’d gladly explore."
Chorus
"I dream of the life where I’m truly free,
Chasing my dreams, just being me.
But here in the manor, I serve with glee,
Just a jolly old butler, pouring the tea!"
Verse
"I dream of the West, where the wild rivers flow,
Riding with me chums, through the fields all aglow.
I long to be a cowboy, with freedom in sight,
Telling grand tales as we sit by the light.
Underneath the stars, with the fire's warm glow,
Singing old tunes, oh, what a delight.
It's so calm and nice, here in the western...
parts of the land, playing both country AND western."
Chorus
"I dream of the life where I’m truly free,
Chasing my dreams, just being me.
But here in the manor, I serve with glee,
Just a jolly old butler, pouring the tea!"
Outro
"Though I dream of the West, and being a basketball star,
I’ll remain in England, where my duty’s never far.
With a cuppa in hand, I’ll carry on proud,
Just a jolly old butler, lost in the crowd."
