He Can Do It

I can do it, I swear...I can do it 

I'm going to hit a home run. 
I'm going to hit a home run...
Farther than any ball Babe Ruth has ever hit 
Farther than any eyes had ever seen 

"The crack of my bat will be heard overseas" 

I can do that, ya know-  

I'm also going to be an astronaut 

I can also do that too! 

Wow! I could play baseball on the moon- Oh yeah!

I always wanted...
To be able to see the whole world while feeling up 

I wish I could go to work 

Well, see y'all, 

It's almost 8:00am -

My school bus will be here momentarily 

And, 

my little sister can play baseball too!
