Extraordinary lyrics

PIPPIN
PATCHING THE ROOF AND PITCHING THE HAY
IS NOT MY IDEA OF A PERFECT DAY
WHEN YOU`RE EXTRAORDINARY
YOU GOTTA DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

I`M NOT THE TYPE WHO LOSES SLEEP
OVER THE SIZE OF THE COMPOST HEAP
WHEN YOU`RE EXTRAORDINARY
YOU THINK ABOUT EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

THAT`S THE REASON I`LL NEVER BE
THE KIND OF MAN WHO DWELLS
ON HOW MOTHS GOT INTO THE TAPESTRY
OR WHY THE DUNGEON SMELLS

OH, IT`S HARD TO FEEL SPECIAL
IT`S HARD TO FEEL BIG
FEEDING THE TURTLE AND WALKING THE PIG
IT`S SO SECONDARY
TO SOMEONE WHO IS VERY
EXTRAORDINARY LIKE ME

IF THE MOAT WON`T STOP LEAKING
AND THE GOAT WON`T STOP SHRIEKING
AND THE GRIFFIN KEEPS LOSING ITS HAIR
IF THE WEST WING IS ROTTING
AND OUR BEST WINE IS CLOTTING
WELL, I`M TERRIBLY SORRY BUT I DON`T CARE


I`VE GOT TO BE SOMEONE WHO LIVES
ALL OF HIS LIFE IN SUPERLATIVES
WHEN YOU`RE EXTRAORDINARY
YOU GOTTA DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

THE FACT THAT I`M DIFFERENT IS EASY TO SEE
SO WHY DOESN`T ANYBODY KNOW IT BUT ME?
I`M EXTRAORDINARY
I NEED TO DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS

EVERY SO OFTEN A MAN HAS A DAY
HE TRULY CAN CALL HIS
WELL, HERE I AM TO SEIZE MY DAY
IF SOMEONE COULD JUST TELL WHERE THE HELL IT IS

OH GIVE ME MY CHANCE, AND GIVE ME MY WINGS
AND DON`T MAKE ME THINK ABOUT EVERYDAY THINGS
THEY`RE UNNECESSARY
TO SOMEONE WHO IS VERY
EXTRAORDINARY
LIKE ME!
