Song Lyrics View: Normal
One, two, three,
Good to be me,
One, two, three.
One, two, three,
Good to be me,
One, two, three.
One, two, three,
It’s good to be me,
And I want the world to know,
It’s good to be me.
One, two, three,
It’s good to be me,
And I want the world to know,
It’s good to be me.
I’m a special person
And there’s only one of me,
And no one else is prouder
Of the person that is me.
One, two, three …
One, two, three,
It’s good to be me,
And I want the world to know,
It’s good to be me.
One, two, three,
It’s good to be me,
And I want the world to know,
It’s good to be me.
I’m a special person
And there’s only one of me,
And no one else is prouder
Of the person that is me.
One, two, three …
I’m a special person
And there’s only one of me,
And no one else is prouder
Of the person that is me.
One, two, three …
One, two, three …
