Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, no-one else is quite like me.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, I am ME !
No-one has my fingers, no-one has my toes.
No-one has my kind of hair and no-one has my nose.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, no-one else is quite like me.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, I am ME !
No-one has my family, no-one has my joys,
No-one has my kind of house and no-one has my toys.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, no-one else is quite like me.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, I am ME !
No-one has my laughter, no-one has my eyes.
No-one has my kind of voice and no-one has my size.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, no-one else is quite like me.
Ha ha ha Hee hee hee, I am ME !
This lovely affirming song was written in 1988 as part of the
