I am the one and only,

Oh yeah!

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

Just put me through,

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'd know 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, ideas 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) - repeat to fade
