"Introduction: Dream A Little Dream Of Me / Extraordinary"

[Dream A Little Dream Of Me]

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say "nighty-night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger 'til dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams 'til sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

[Extraordinary]

Patching the roof, and pitching the hay
Is not my idea of the perfect day
When you're Extraordinary
You gotta do Extraordinary things

Now I'm not the type who loses sleep
Over the size of the compost heap
When you're Extraordinary
You think about Extraordinary Things

While there's Bassey, Bacherach,
Redford and Rickels,I don't wanna hear
'Bout Mrs Olsen's specially blended brew
Or new all temper cheer

I'm just not consumed by that burning desire
For boiling a chicken or changing a tyre
It's so secondary, to someone who is very
Extraordinary like me

Who has Kissinger dated,Fritz the Cat is x-rated
William Proxmyra's flashing new hair
Jackie's poodle needs clipping,Liz's diamonds need dipping
Rhona Baron is flipping, but I don't care

I gotta be someone who lives
All of her life in superlatives
When you're Extraordinary
You gotta do extraordinary things

So give me my chance, and give me my wings
And don't make me think about everyday things
They're unnecessary to someone who is very
Extraordinary like me

I'm special!
