I am the one and only.
Call me, call me by my name or
call me by my number, you put
me through it I'll still be
doing it the way I do it and
yet, you try to make me forget,
who I really am, don't tell me
I'm no best I'm not the same as
all the rest.
Chorus: I am the one and only
nobody I'd rather be I am the
one and only, you can't take
that away from me.
I've been a player in the crowd
scene a flicker on the big
screen my soul embraces one
more in a million faces high
hopes and aspirations, and
years above my station Maybe
but all this time I've tried to
walk with dignity and pride.
Chorus: I am the one and only
nobody I'd rather be I am the
one and only, you can't take
that away from me.
I can't wear this uniform
without some compromises
Because you'll find out that we
come In different shapes and
sizes No one can be myself like
I can For this job I'm the best
man And while this may be true,
you are the one and only you.
Chorus: I am the one and only
nobody I'd rather be I am the
one and only, you can't take
that away from me
