This song is sung by Catherine, an ‘average’ widow who finds Pippin on the side of the road. She describes herself as ordinary and normal. This is the first appearance we see of her.
[CATHERINE]
I'm your average ordinary kind of woman
Competent and neat
Making life a treat
Others as nice
You meet often I know
At least once or twice
Every decade or so
I'm your everyday, customary kind of woman
Practical as salt
Modest to a fault
Conservative with a budget
Liberal with a meal
Just your average ideal
My telling you this
May seem sudden and strange
It may not interest you much at all right now
But things change
Things change
Still I'll understand if I'm not your kind of woman
Anyone can make
One terrible mistake
But I've no special glamour
No bait I can twirl
For I'm just a plain, everyday
Commonplace, come-what-may
Average, ordinary
Wonderful girl!
Kind of Woman was written by Stephen Schwartz.
Jill Clayburgh released Kind of Woman on Mon Oct 23 1972.
