I was raking leaves in my own back yard
Putting them in piles and burning them up
The flames got higher
They were out of control
I was hosing them down when the cops showed up

It was extraordinary
Now and then I must aspire
To go out of the ordinary
And set the world on fire

Strange things happen on a Saturday night
Boys meet girls and they all get tight
The dance floor shakes as the trap kit moves
The crowd gets caught like a needle in a groove

It feels extraordinary
Baby, if you wanna be
Out of the ordinary
Come on and dance with me!

I was doing 140 in my SUV
Cruising with my girl it was twenty past three
I was talking about changing my cell phone plan
When my girl says, "Baby, you're a boy, you're not a man"

"You're not extraordinary
Baby, if you wanna be
Out of the ordinary
You don't need technology!"

I was at the post office buying a stamp
Thinking that the girl behind the counter was "fine"
I said, "You think this'll get there by Friday, ma'am?"
She says, "I get off work at quarter past nine"

Extraordinary!
Baby, if you wanna be
Out of the ordinary
Come on and dance with me!
