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 …
