Pippin movie - Extraordinary lyrics

<br>

[PIPPIN]<br>

Patching the roof and pitching the hay<br>

Is not my idea of a perfect day<br>

When you're extraordinary<br>

You gotta do extraordinary things<br>

<br>

I'm not the type who loses sleep <br>

Over the size of the compost heap<br>

When you're extraordinary <br>

You think about extraordinary things<br>

<br>

That's the reason I'll never be <br>

The kind of man who dwells<br>

On how moths got into the tapestry<br>

Or why the dungeon smells<br>

<br>

Oh, it's hard to feel special, it's hard to feel big<br>

Feeding the turtle and walking the pig<br>

It's so secondary<br>

To someone who is very <br>

Extraordinary like me<br>

<br>

If the moat won't stop leaking <br>

And the goat won't stop shrieking <br>

And the griffin keeps losing its hair <br>

If the west wing is rotting <br>

And our best wine is clotting<br>

Well, I'm terribly sorry but I don't care<br>

<br>

I've got to be someone who lives<br>

All of his life in superlatives<br>

When you're extraordinary<br>

You gotta do extraordinary things<br>

<br>

Every so often a man has a day<br>

He truly can call his<br>

Well, here I am to seize my day<br>

If someone would just tell me when the hell it is<br>

<br>

Oh give me my chance, and give me my wings <br>

And don't make me think about everyday things<br>

They're unnecessary<br>

To someone who is very<br>

Extraordinary<br>

Like me!<br>
