I am the one and only oh yeah
call me, call me by my name or call me by 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 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 (twice)
