It's Me Songtext
von Rodgers & Hammerstein

I′m colorless and shy
Inhibited and dull
My entrance into any room is followed by a lull

This droopiness in me
Miraculously melts
When I step on a stage and make believe
I'm someone else

Quite suddenly
I′m mentally and physically equipped
With the most unusual qualities
It says so in the script

Who is that delectable dame?
Cool as cream and hotter than flame
Who, who could it be?
It's me
It's me
It′s me!


Who′s that queenly gift to the boys?
Always keen and lousy with poise
Who, who could it be?
It's me
It′s me
It's me

When the authors make me say
Words that make me wittier
I feel just as smart as they
And what′s more, I'm prettier
Who′s that girl who's gettin' the wows?
Who′s that babe who′s takin' the bows?
In a daze
I wonder who
Is she? (What a babe, wow, who could it be?)
Imagine my surprise (Yes?)
When once I realize (Let′s guess!)
It's nobody else but wonderful, beautiful me


My picture hangs in Sardi′s for all the world to see
I sit beneath my picture there and no one looks at me
I sometimes wear dark glasses
Concealing who I am
Then all at once, I'll take them off
And no one gives a damn
But when I start to play a part
I play a part okay
No longer am I no one
When I′m someone in a play

Who has learned the formula which
Satisfies the seven-year itch?
Who's that dazzling personality? (Who's the dazzling lady we see?)
Well, here′s the big surprise (What?)
Hot dog and damn my eyes (Stand back)
It′s nobody else but wonderful, beautiful
(That lady is equipped)
It's me (It says so in the script)
Just me (On stage that lady)
Comes alive for everybody
It′s me
Me
