"A Girl Like Me"-Kristin Chenoweth

Kristin Chenoweth came to Cal State Fullerton (the school I attend), and gave a master class. She treated us at the end by singing a song for us entitled "A Girl Like Me", which Andrew Lippa wrote for her, and she will also be singing it at this month's concert at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. :) She is amazing!

LYRICS (added on June 3rd, 2007 to the best of my ability):

I'm from Oklahoma
I've got country in my veins
Own a pick-up truck
With an overhead twin pen

Yeah, I'm from Oklahoma
And I wouldn't rope a steer
So won't somebody tell me
What am I doing here?

What's a girl like me
Doing in a place like Disney Hall
Cause a girl like me
Ought to be a shopping mall
(The Grove, that is)

It's a famous place
And I know it's good
Cause I got season passes
Down in Dollywood
What's a girl like me
Doing in a place like Disney Hall?
(I can't even spell Yo-Yo Ma)

I can do a line dance
Got 13 leather skirts
Got a guitar and a six pack in the fridge
(Of Coca-Cola)

*unintelligible lyrics*
I'm scared someone will ask me
"Why don't you feed the pigs?"

What's a girl like me
Doing in a place like Disney Hall?
I'm the kind of girl who sits and cries out
"Howdy, y'all!"

*unintelligible lyrics*
Did Tanya Tucker ever play this joint?
What's a girl like me
Doing in a place like Disney Hall?

Mr. Walt Disney
Won't you say a prayer for me?
I don't know if I can play this part
Don't own a Bel-Air house
Ain't friends with Mickey Mouse
I just got rhinestones in my heart!

Let me see, if I can ya know, fit in.
**Kristin vocalizes**
And now I'm standing here
Like an Oklahoma cactus
So won't you save me now?

Practice, practice, practice.
What's a girl like her doing in a place like Disney Hall?
**Kristin vocalizes**
Will I lose my cool
Should I lose my endearing drawl?
You make that call!

Well I should be impressed
And I should bite my lip
And I can feel that pressure from the Mississipp

Oh what's a girl like me
Who watches Court TV
Doing in a place like Disney Hall?
