I’m nothing special 
in fact I’m a bit of a bore 
if I tell a joke 
you’ve probably heard it before 
but I have a talent 
a wonderful thing 
’cause everyone listens 
when I start to sing 
I’m so grateful and proud 
all I want is to sing it out loud 
so I say 

Thank you for the music 
the songs I’m singing 
thanks for all the joy 
they’re bringing 
who can live without it 
I ask in all honesty 
what would life be 
without a song or a dance what are we 
so I say thank you for the music 
for giving it to me 

Mother says I was 
a dancer before I could walk 
she says I began 
to sing long before I could talk 
and I’ve often wondered 
how did it all start 
who found out that nothing 
can capture a heart 
like a melody can 
well, whoever it was, I’m a fan 
so I say 

Thank you for the music 
the songs I’m singing 
thanks for all the joy 
they’re bringing 
who can live without it 
I ask in all honesty 
what would life be 
without a song or a dance what are we 
so I say thank you for the music 
for giving it to me 

I’ve been so lucky 
I am the girl with golden hair 
I wanna sing it out to everybody 
what a joy, what a life, what a chance 

Thank you for the music 
the songs I’m singing 
thanks for all the joy 
they’re bringing 
who can live without it 
I ask in all honesty 
what would life be 
without a song or a dance what are we 
so I say thank you for the music 
for giving it to me
