One of a Kind Lyrics by Charles Strouse

Applause (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1970

[BILL]
You are one of a kind
A fabulous bird
You're out of your mind
And way out of sight
You're one of a kind
Unique is the word
And that's why I find
The others all trite
I like the weird things that happen inside of your skull
Being with you may be hard on the nerves
But it's never dull
Oh no, never dull
You walk in a room
The people all stare
'Cause, baby, you bloom
They'd have to be blind
To not recognize
The rarest of rare
Right under their eyes
You're one of a kind
If there were two of you
Or, god forbid, a few of you
Too much is what it would be
But you're one of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
And you're the kind of a woman for me
Who else would take a swim completely dressed in Central Park at 3 am the night she won the Tony?
[MARGO, spoken]
I didn't do that
[BILL]
Yes you did
[MARGO]
Who grabbed a flaming cherries jubilee and burned a movie script at Chasen's yelling it was phony?
[BILL, spoken]
Was that me?
[MARGO, spoken]
Uh huh
[BILL & MARGO]
You always were a crazy kid
I shudder at the things you did
[BILL]
Your ego seems to suit my id
[MARGO]
So kiss me!
[BILL]
You mad fool
You know you grind your teeth at night
[MARGO]
Your snoring is a real delight
[BILL & MARGO]
It's noisy but we sleep alright
You are one of a kind
A fabulous bird
You're out of your mind
And way out of sight
You're one of a kind
Unique is the word
And that's why I find
The others all trite
[MARGO]
At times you're selfish and stubborn and blind as a mole
But, even so, you're a gift to be with
You're good for my soul
So good for my soul
[BILL & MARGO]
You walk in a room
The people all stare
'Cause, baby, you bloom
They'd have to be blind
To not recognize
The rarest of rare
Right under their eyes
You're one of a kind
[MARGO]
If there were two of you
Or, god forbid, a few of you
Too much is what it would be
[BILL & MARGO]
But you're one of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind
And you're the kind of a nut for me
