There's Only One of You

There are fifty thousand different kinds of animals and there are fifty thousand more that used to be. There's a hundred million ants and half a billion plants and a lot of fish down underneath the sea. There's gotta be a couple million spiders, a hundred-fifty million butterflies and bees and a bunch of different mammals; like those elephants and camels. And approximately fifty billion trees

But there is only one of you, that makes you special. You stand out among the other things; it's true. Yes, the universe is large and whoever is in charge made lots of things, but only one of you.

A one, a two, a three, and a four, a thousand and a million and a billion or more. There's a trillion drops of water in the ocean and a billion trillion molecules of air. There are insects here en masse and a trillion blades of grass and a thousand strands in every head of hair. A lot of little grains of dirt make up this planet. A billion atoms on the head of every pin.

A million birds that all can fly, a trillion stars up in the sky--and all the many different people there have been.

But there is only one of you, that makes you special. Yes, there is nothing else exactly like you are. 'Cause you're unique and you're terrific and you're kind of real specific.

'Cause there's no one else the same as the person you became. In fact, you're kind of weird, but we like you just the same!

'Cause you're the only one of you there are.

We protest you calling us "little kids". We prefer to be called "vertically-impaired pre-adults"

p.s. Remember this post? I am happy to know that Yakko, Wakko and Dot agree with me... somewhat.
