C F C
I am an odd one, what can I do?
C F C
You have three joints; I only have two.
C F C
You’re tall and thin, and I’m a stumpy thing.
C F C
I don’t wear ornaments, and you wear rings.
C F C
Just ‘cause I’m different doesn’t mean I’m dumb.
C F C
You are a finger and I am a thumb.
C F C G C
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
F C
Sometimes I’m lonely going a different way.
G C
You stick with your friends; I stick out like a …
A
Sore thumb
F C
But we’re a good team; we pick up a lot.
F C
I love what you are, I love what you’re not.
Whoa, Whoa.
If I was broken, you’d be broken, too.
‘Cause there’s so many things we couldn’t do.
Like putting on clothes and opening jars.
Not to mention eating candy bars.
Chorus:
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
So raise your hands up high and treat them well!
Put those digits to work and make them tell
The world
That we’re a family with so much to give.
Without each other it’d be hard to live.
And sad.
Whoa, whoa.
So if we think that we’re on different sides,
We need to look down to where we abide.
We’re all connected to the place we stand.
Essential parts of an amazing hand!
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
Opposable, opposable. Aren’t we lucky we’re opposable?
