(From "The Tonight Show, 1978")

 

 

 

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



 



Repeat (*)



 



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!



 



Repeat (*)
