Lyrics

I'm Terrific
I'm Terrific, I'm the star of my show.
I'm fantastic, I've go get up and go
Ever since the age of 3 that's what everyone told me (told you?)
Yeah, that's what everyone told me.
I'm Terrific, I've got style, I've got class
I'm fantastic, I've got razzamtaz
Ever since I can recall, I have always had it all
And I am gonna have a ball.

It's not that easy being perfect all the time.
It demands a round-the-clock kind of precision
And even when I'm in a meeting of the minds
You'll find it's me who makes a final decision.
Shall I go on? Shall I go on? ...I think I shall!
I'm Terrific, got the world at my feet
I'm fantastic, I just cannot be beat
If you wish to file complaint, just prosecute my patron saint.
Just say so and I'll say "it ain't" (done in the voice of Nixon with arms outstretched in a victory sign)
'Cause I'm terrific, I am my biggest fan
I'm fantastic bigger than the big bang
Carl Sagan can't deny, the Universe is on my side.
Yeah the Universe is on my side.

It's not that easy practicing humility
When my ego gets bigger than a piggy
I overdose from self-esteem so frequently
It makes Rush Limbaugh (or Michael Moore) look more and more like Twiggy!
Say I'm terrific, got the world on a string
I'm fantastic, I can do anything.
If you don't think I'm just swell
You can all go straight to ...(stop playing and insert ego joke or joke particular to your audience here)
Where was I, I'm terrific, I'm fantastic (looking on a page for a lyric....)
I terrific, I'm... oh yes there I am! That's right...
I'm terrific, I'm the king of the kong
I'm fantastic, I can never be wrong
(accelerando to end)
And if anyone disagrees, they can say so if they please.
They may as well speak Japanese.
To them I will politely sneeze!!!
Achoo!
