George Hearn (born June 18, 1934) is an American actor and singer, primarily in Broadway musical theatre.

I am what I am, I am my own special creation

So come, take a look, give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world that I want to have a little pride in

My world and it's not a place I have to hide in

Life's not worth a damn, 'til you can say

"Hey world, I am what I am"

I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity

I bang my own drum, some think it's noise, I think it's pretty

And so what if I love each feather and each spangle

Why not try to see things from a different angle?

Your life is a sham, 'til you can shout out loud

"I am what I am"

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses

I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit

One life, so it's time to open up your closet

Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say

"Hey world, I am what I am"
