I Am What I Am
(from La Cage Aux Folles)

by Jerry Herman
keyz Iw time2 327

Dow gOW

YOU SING THE HITS
I am what I am,

I am my own special creation.

80, come take a look
Give me the hook,

Or the ovation.
It's my world

That I want to have

A little pride in.
My world

And it's not a place

I have to hide in.
Life's not worth a damn

'Til you can say

Hey world

I am what I am.
I am what I am

I don't want praise,

I don't want pity.
l bang my own drum

Some think it's noise

I think it's pretty.
It's my song
And if you don't like

The sky I'm ringin'

My song
So at least respect my

Right to sing it
Your life is a sham

Til you can shout out

I am what I am.
I am what I am,

What I am

Needs no excuses.
Cause I deal my own deck.

Sometimes the ace,

Sometimes the deuces.
It's my part
And I bIow my horn

And sound my trumpet

My part
And if you don't like it

You can lump it
Life's not worth a damn

'Til you can say
Hey World

I Am What I Am
