I am the one and

only oh yeah

Call me, call me by my name or call me by number

You put me through it

I'll still be doing it the way I do it

And yet, you try to make me forget

Who I really am, don't tell me I'm no best

I'm not the same as all the rest



Chorus:



I am the one and only

Nobody I'd rather be

I am the one and only

You can't take that away from me



I've been a player in the crowd scene

A flicker on the big screen

My soul embraces one more in a million faces

High hopes and aspirations, and years above my station

Maybe but all this time I've tried to walk with dignity and pride



Chorus



I can't wear this uniform without some compromises

Because you'll find out that we come

In different shapes and sizes

No one can be myself like I can

For this job I'm the best man

And while this may be true, you are the one and only you



Chorus (twice)
