Manfred Mann Chapter Three - Happy Being Me

Could have been a railway main working on the Southern line
Could have been a fisherman throwing out my line
Could have been a sailor and spent my life at sea
But I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me

Could have been a miner somewhere out on a diamond trail
Could have worked the telephones mending everybody's bail
Could have been a sailor and spent my life at sea
But I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me

Could have been a racing driver reading on the drag
Or an undertaker making all my calls in black
Could have been a sailor, but sailin' ain't for me
And I'm doing what I want to do, I'm happy just being me
