Joe Public - The Rutles

My name is Joe Public — I’m sure you all know me

Sometimes they call me 'the man in the street'

but I don’t mind

I’ve got my place in society

I’ve got my feet on the ground

I’ve got my pride and my prejudices

No one can push me around

My name is Joe Public — I’m sure you all know me

Sometimes they call me 'the proletariat'

but I don’t mind

They know me for my common sense

They know they can’t please all of me

They know I can’t be fooled — all of the time

I am what I am and I’m happy to be

Joe Public, that’s me

Joe Public, that’s me

I put my faith in the powers that be

Joe Public — that’s me

My name is Joe Public — I’m sure you all know me

Sometimes they call me 'the great unwashed'

but I don’t mind

Sticks and stones may break my bones

but names can never hurt me

I’ve got my pride and my prejudices

I am what I am and I’m happy to be

Joe Public, that’s me

Joe Public, that’s me

Joe Public, that’s me

Joe Public, that’s me

I put my faith in the powers that be

Joe Public — that’s me

I put my faith in the powers that be…

I’m sure you all know me…
