Stephen Schwartz - Extraordinary (New Broadway Cast Recording) 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 a 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, looking at life from deep in a rut May give you a view of a 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 a 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 Ev'ry so often a man has a day He truly can call his Well, Here I am to seize my day If someone would just tell me When the hell it is Oh, give me my chance And give me my wings And don't make me think about Ev'ryday things They're so secondary For someone who is very Extraordinary Like me!
