I CAN DO IT LYRICS
1)ICAN DO IT
Hello boys and girls, it’s so good to see your face
I love to come to this happy place
Where we sing and laugh and learn and play
Let’s put one thumb up, two thumbs up
Point to yourself and say
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
I put my heart and my mind to it
And I can do it.
I can tie my shoes, read my books
Sing the alphabet through.
I can write my name, write my numbers
There’s tons of things that I can do.
Like being kind to my friends
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
I put my heart and my mind to it
And I can do it.
What I tell myself is a powerful thing
It turns night into day, winter into spring
When I start to feel it in my heart
And hear it in my mind,
When I hear it in my mind I find that
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
I put my heart and my mind to it
And I can do it. I can do it. I can do it.

Butterfly, butterfly
Flying to a flower
Butterfly, butterfly
Here to drink some nectar
You didn’t always have your beautiful wings
You show us how life is a changing thing

There was a race between the turtle and the rabbit
The turtle had his groove but the rabbit didn’t have it
The rabbit ran fast then he stopped and looked around
When the turtle passed him up he was sleeping on the ground
The turtle took the track that finally won the race
He set his own pace, and it was a

11) I Can Write Any Song I Want
I can write any song I want
My life is a melody
I can write any song I want
The music’s up to me
On a beautiful day I go outside to play
Feeling alive and free
Kittens and puppies, cats and dogs
Romp around with me
I can write any song I want
My life is a melody
I can write any song I want
The music’s up to me
Running fast, bare foot in the grass
Chasing a butterfly
Spinning around making silly sounds
A rainbow paints the sky
I can write any song I want
My life is a melody
I can write any song I want
The music’s up to me
