I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore 
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before 
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing 
Cause everyone listens when I start to sing 
I’m so grateful and proud 
All I want is to sing it out loud 

So I say 
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing 
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing 
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty 
What would life be? 
Without a song or a dance what are we? 
So I say thank you for the music 
For giving it to me 

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk 
She says I began to sing long before I could talk 
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start? 
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart 
Like a melody can? 
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan 

So I say 
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing 
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing 
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty 
What would life be? 
Without a song or a dance what are we? 
So I say thank you for the music 
For giving it to me 

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair 
I wanna sing it out to everybody 
What a joy, what a life, what a chance! 

So I say 
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing 
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing 
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty 
What would life be? 
Without a song or a dance what are we? 
So I say thank you for the music 
For giving it to me
