Miracle - Tim Minchin.mp3

[00:27.078]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[00:30.440]My daddy says I'm his special little guy.
[00:35.612]I am a princess,
[00:37.826]And I am a prince.
[00:39.653]Mum says I'm an angel sent down from the sky.
[00:43.309]My daddy says I'm his special little soldier.
[00:46.304]No one is as handsome, strong as me.
[00:49.733]It's true he indulges my tendency to bulge,
[00:53.042]But I'm his little soldier!
[00:54.585]Hop, 2-4-3!
[00:56.312]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[00:58.695]One look at my face, and it's plain to see.
[01:01.907]Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord,
[01:04.858]It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!
[01:08.671]My daddy says I'm his special little soldier.
[01:11.662]No one is as bold or tough as me.
[01:14.854]Has my daddy told you,
[01:16.302]One day when I'm older,
[01:17.801]I can be a soldier,
[01:19.375]And shoot you in the face?
[01:23.050]One can hardly move for beauty and brilliance these days.
[01:28.571]It seems that there are millions of these one-in-a-millions these days.
[01:34.752]Special-ness seems de rigueur.
[01:37.543]Above average is average - go figure.
[01:40.875]Is it is some modern miracle of calculus,
[01:43.765]That such frequent miracles don't render each one un-miraculous?
[01:48.943]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[01:51.078]One look at my face, and it's plain to see.
[01:54.202]Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord,
[01:57.707]It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!
[02:00.961]My mummy says I'm a precious barrelina.
[02:04.059]She has never seen a prettier barrelina.
[02:07.160]She says if I'm keen, I have to cut down on the cream,
[02:10.261]But I'm a barrelina, SO GIVE ME MORE CAKE!
[02:13.000]Take another picture of our angel in that costume that I made.
[02:15.072]The role of tree has never been portrayed with such convincing sway.
[02:19.000]That's right, honey, look at mummy!
[02:21.000]Don't put honey on your brother.
[02:22.790]Smile for mummy; smile for mother!
[02:24.002]I think she blinked.
[02:25.052]Well, take another!
[02:25.772]Have you seen his school report? He got a 'C' on his report!
[02:28.574]What?!
[02:29.091]We'll have to change his school. That teacher's clearly falling short.
[02:32.156]She's just delightful. So precarious and insightful.
[02:34.228]Might she be a little brighter than the norm?
[02:36.723]I know to boys it's frightful form!
[02:41.349](Take another!) My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[02:44.316](She looks lovely in this light.)One look at my face, and it's plain to see.
[02:46.548](Honey... Honey...)Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord,
[02:49.658](Don't put honey on your brother.)It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!
[02:53.405]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[02:56.175]That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirror ball.
[02:59.189]You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical.
[03:02.657]There's never been a miracle, a miracle, a miracle as me!
[04:41.010]Every life I bring into this world restores my faith in humankind.
[04:53.099]Each new-born life, a canvas yet unpainted...
[04:58.051]This still unbroken skin...
[05:01.066]This uncorrupted mind...
[05:05.087]Every life is unbelievably unlikely.
[05:11.560]The chances of existence, almost infinitely small.
[05:18.764]The most common thing in life is life,
[05:27.672]And yet every single life bearing new life is a miracle!
[05:37.732]Miracle!
[06:49.327]Oh, my undercarriage doesn't feel quite normal.
[06:54.076]My skin looks just revolting in this foul fluorescent light,
[06:58.625]And this gown is nothing like the semi-formal, semi-Spanish gown
[07:03.585]I should be wearing in the semi-finals tonight.
[07:09.197]I should be dancing the tarantella -
[07:14.076]Cui buon fare Italiano.
[07:17.877]Not dressed in hospital cotton,
[07:22.333]With a smarting front bottom,
[07:26.129]And this horrible -
[07:28.030](Miracle!)
[07:29.001]Smelly little -
[07:30.058](Miracle!)
[07:31.275]Weakly little bowl of fat!
[07:33.098](What the hell was that?)
[07:34.079]Would someone give this thing a bottle?
[07:35.082]Or swap it for a later model!
[07:38.414]Why do bad things always happen to good people?
[07:44.644]Fine, upstanding citizens like you and me?
[07:50.581]Why, when we've done nothing wrong,
[07:53.789]Should this disaster come along?
[07:56.675]This horrible, weird-looking,
[08:00.424]Hairy little stinky feet...
[08:01.857]With no sign of a winky-dink at all!
[08:04.429]Miracle! Miracle!
[08:06.488]She's a miracle!
[08:07.290]A Miracle!
[08:08.113]Every life's a miracle!
[08:09.695]The most beautiful miracle I have ever seen!
[08:15.423]I can't find his frank & beans!
[08:18.367]Every life is unbelievably unlikely.( I'm a miracle.)
[08:24.785]The chances of existence, almost infinitely small.(My daddy says I'm his special little guy.)
[08:31.700]The most common thing in life is life,(Hop, 2-4-3!)
[08:38.025]And yet every single life bearing new life is a miracle!
[08:47.689]Miracle!Miracle!
[09:00.333]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[09:02.435]One look at my face, and it's plain to see.
[09:05.494]Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical cord,
[09:09.331]It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me!
[09:12.495]My mummy says I'm a miracle.
[09:14.802]That I'm as tiny and as shiny as a mirror ball.
[09:18.423]You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical.
[09:22.041]There's never been a miracle, a miracle, a miracle as me!
[09:28.605]My mummy says I'm a lousy little worm.
[09:32.536]My daddy says I'm a bore.
[09:36.174]My mummy says I'm a jumped-up little germ,
[09:39.498]That kids like me should be against the law.
[09:43.805]My daddy says I should learn to shut my pie hole.
[09:46.904]No one likes a smart-mouthed girl like me.
[09:50.651]Mum says I'm a good case for population control.
[09:54.468]Dad says I should watch more TV.
