[Verse 1] I alphabetize my cereal by shape Talk to the plants like they know my name Wear mismatched socks to a black-tie thing Bring a tiny kazoo when the whole room sings [Pre-Chorus] You can keep your straight lines I was born to bend If I’m odd on arrival I’m odd to the end [Chorus] Raise your hands if you’re wonderfully strange Big odd heart and a beautiful brain We don’t fit in the frame, so we make it our stage Proud to be weird, let the whole room say Hey! We’re the ones with the color turned up Hey! With the pockets full of odd little stuff No need to be normal, no need to explain Proud to be weird—say it again! [Verse 2] I name every pigeon I see on the street Keep one lucky button in the pocket of my jeans Make up a handshake with the checkout clerk Then laugh too loud at a joke that barely works [Pre-Chorus] You can keep your straight lines I was born to bend If I’m odd on arrival I’m odd to the end [Chorus] Raise your hands if you’re wonderfully strange Big odd heart and a beautiful brain We don’t fit in the frame, so we make it our stage Proud to be weird, let the whole room say Hey! We’re the ones with the color turned up Hey! With the pockets full of odd little stuff No need to be normal, no need to explain Proud to be weird—say it again! [Bridge] Here’s to the daydreamers, sideways thinkers To the shy loud laughers and the glitter drinkers To the ones who take the long way home And make a whole parade out of walking alone [Breakdown] Too odd? Good. Too loud? Good. Too much? Exactly as we should! [Final Chorus] Raise your hands if you’re wonderfully strange Big odd heart and a beautiful brain We don’t fit in the frame, so we make it our stage Proud to be weird, let the whole room say Hey! We’re the ones with the color turned up Hey! With the pockets full of odd little stuff No need to be normal, no need to explain Proud to be weird—say it again! Proud to be weird—say it again! [Outro] Too odd? Good. Too loud? Good. Proud to be weird—and we always would!
