Lyrics

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
Oh, I once knew a man, he lived each day the same
Safe and sane and swell
And when they told me he died, I didn't cry
All I could say was: "How could they tell?"
Oh, lookin' at life from deep in a rut
May give you a view of the sunshine, but
It's unnecessary for someone who is very
Extraordinary like me
If the floorboards are squeaking and the doorboards are leaking
And the chimney's in need of repair
If the garden has brambles and the yard is in shambles
Well, I'm terribly sorry but I don't care
I've got to be someone who lives
All of his life in superlatives
I'm extraordinary
I gotta do extraordinary things
The fact that I'm special is easy to see
So why doesn't anybody see it but me?
I'm extraordinary
I need to do extraordinary things
Oh, give me my chance, and give me my wings
And don't make me think about everyday things
They're so secondary
For someone who is very
Extraordinary
Like me!
