I'm  nothing special  in  fact  I'm a bit  of a bore
  + /9-
 If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
 But I  have a talent, a wonderful thing,  'cause
Ev'ryone listens  when I  start to sing
  /5+
 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  song or dance, what are we? second chorus:( )
 So  I  say thank  you for  the music,  for giving  it to  me
Mother  says I  was a dancer  before  I could walk
  + /9-
 She says I began to sing long before I could talk
  /5+
 And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
 Who found  out that nothing  could capture  her heart
 Like a melody  can
 Well whoever  it was,  I’m a fan
I've  been so lucky  I am the girl  with golden hair
 I wanna sing  it out  to ev'rybody
/ /5+
 What a joy, what a life, what a chance
