Matilda the Musical Original Cast - Miracle lyrics

My mummy says I'm a miracle

My daddy says I'm his special little guy

I am a princess

And I am a prince

Mum says I'm an angel sent down from the sky

My daddy says I'm his special little soldier
No one is as handsome, strong as me
It's true he indulges my tendency to bulge
But, I'm his little soldier! Hup, 2-4-3!

My mummy says I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day doc
Chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear there's no peer
For a miracle like me!

My daddy says I'm his special little soldier
No one is as bold or tough as me
Has my daddy told you one day when I'm older
I can be a soldier
And shoot you in the face!

One can hardly move for beauty
And brilliance these days
It seems that there are
Millions of these one-in-a-millions
These days special-ness seems de rigueur
Above average is average go figure
Is it is some modern miracle of calculus
That such frequent miracles don't
Render each one un- miraculous

My mummy says I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day doc
Chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear there's no peer
For a miracle like me!

My mummy says I'm a precious barrelina
She has never seen a prettier barrelina
She says that if I'm keen
I have to cut down on the cream
But, I'm a barrelina, so give me more cake!

Take another photo of our angel in
That costume that I made
The role of tree has never
Been portrayed with such convincing sway

That's right, honey, look at mummy!

Don't put honey on your brother

Smile for mummy smile for mother!

I think she blinked

Well, take another!

Have you seen his school report?
He got a 'C' on his report!

What?!

We'll have to change his school
His teacher's clearly falling short

She's just delightful

So hilarious and

Insightful

Might she be a little brighter than the norm?
I know to boys it's frightful form!

My mummy says I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day doc
Chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear there's no peer
For a miracle like me!
My mummy says I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as
Shiny as a mirror ball
You can be all cynical
But it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, a miracle
A miracle as me!

A baby Mrs wormwood, a child, the most
Precious gift the natural world can
Bestow upon us has been handed to you a
Brand new human being, a life, a person
A wonderful new person is about to come
Into your life and bring you love and
Magic and happiness and wonder

Oh! Bloody 'ell!

Every life I bring into this world
Restores my faith in humankind

Push Mrs wormwood, push!

I'll push you in a minute!

Each new-born life, a canvas yet unpainted
This still unbroken skin
This uncorrupted mind
Every life is unbelievably unlikely
The chances of existence
Almost infinitely small
The most common thing in life is life

(baby cries)

And yet every single life
Every new life is a miracle! Miracle!

This is the worst day of my life!

(sung) oh, my undercarriage doesn't
Feel quite normal
My skin looks just revolting in
This foul fluorescent light
And this gown is nothing
Like the semi-formal
Semi-Spanish gown I should be wearing
In the semi-finals tonight
I should be dancing the tarantella
Qui mon fella italiano
Not dressed in hospital cotton
With a smarting front bottom
And this horrible

Miracle!

Smelly little

Miracle!

Weakly little ball of fat!

What the hell was that?

Will someone give this thing a bottle?

Or swap it for a later model?

Why do bad things always
Happen to good people?
Fine upstanding citizens like you and me?
Why when we've done nothing wrong
Should this disaster come along?
This horrible, weird looking

Hairy little stinky thing

With no sign of a winky-ding at all

Miracle, miracle
A miracle every life's a miracle
Beautiful miracle I have ever seen

I can't find his frank and beans

Every life is unbelievably unlikely
The chances of existence
Almost infinitely small
The most common thing in life is life
And yet every single life
Every new life is a miracle!
Miracle! Miracle!

My mummy says I'm a miracle
One look at my face, and it's plain to see
Ever since the day doc
Chopped the umbilical cord
It's been clear there's no peer
For a miracle like me!
My mummy says I'm a miracle
That I'm as tiny and as
Shiny as a mirror ball
You can be all cynical
But it's a truth empirical
There's never been a miracle, a miracle
A miracle as

My mummy says I'm a lousy little worm
My daddy says I'm a bore
My mummy says I'm a jumped-up little germ
That kids like me should be against the law
My daddy says I should learn
To shut my pie hole
No one likes a smart-mouthed girl like me
Mum says I'm a good
Case for population control
Dad says I should watch more TV
