I Am What I Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
He's already waited too long to begin
The world is on one side
And I'm on the other
And I read in a magazine
And I am what I is
I am....
Brian the actor
That he does on Saturdays
In nothing but a bowtie
He would bring me a drink
He tells me he sweats it
Like pig in a blanket
And I ran out of toothpicks
But I don't have a thing
And I am
Oooooh...
Well autumn will come
And everyone loves you when you've already won
And I'm here to tell you that I don't care if up turns you down
Just to hear you say I am what I am
When I am what I is
I am what I am
When I am what I is
Jeanny is lonely
She lives with her parents
She saves all her money
So she can spend it in Spain
Her boss doesn't get it
She says to forget it
I told her we're different
But she knows we're the same
And I am...
Ooohhhh....
Well autumn will come
And everyone loves you when you've already won
And I'm here to tell you that I don't care if up turns you down
Just to hear you say I am what I am
When I am what I is
I am what I am
When I am what I is
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
And I am what I am
And I am what I is
Christopher calls me
He calls me complaining
And I am what I am
And I am what I is
