Stripped down offering of Big Wide World.

Asked a porter where we'd be by tomorrow morning He said listen son, you'd better find your way back home I said hold on up, I didn't ask for any warning It's a big wide world and I'll make it on my own So don't you shoot me down if I ask for your suggestions Don't tell me where to go cos I'm heading someplace else And you can save your breath, don't ask me any questions Stay put until I ask your help Don't you try to stack me on a shelf It's a big wide world and I'll make it by myself He said listen son, your living in a dream When you get our there, you'll find out that you're wrong It might look so good, but nothing;s what it seems It's a cruel world, d'you think your hard enough to get along Well I said, there's too many people put off by their failure They crawl back home inside their garden gate They sit and criticise you from their own soft corner What I dislike most is waste Too many people they just love to hate Why is this big, wide world such a sad small-minded place So when that train rolls off I know that I'll be on it And no amount of persuasion's gonna put me off So you can keep your advice, cos mister, I don't want it when that train rolls down the track I know I won't be looking back It's a big wide world, my bags are packed
