I Can Be Anything
I Can Be Anything
Here in my corner
In my little chair
I can be anything...
Go anywhere.
I can be happy.
I can be sad.
I can be anything...
(Try not to be bad).
I can be rich.
I can be poor.
I can be anything...
A bird! A wild boar!
A princess who sleeps
Or loves a big beast.
I can be anything
I choose in the least.
A captain at sea.
A cat in a tree.
I can be anything
I want to be.
Live in a castle
Inside of a mote.
I can be anything...
A lion...A goat...
A horse on the planes
His mane in the wind!
I can be anything...
A monkey...A ginn...
A turtle...A crab...
A tiger...A shark!
I can be anything...
Glow in the dark!
A bat, butterfly,
Elephant, or dog.
I can be anything...
Even a hog.
A poet...A cook...
A fish in a brook.
I can be anything...
A book in a nook!
Travel the planets
In spaceships through space!
I can be anything
And go anyplace.
The Moon... or Saturn...
Jupiter and Mars!
I can go anyplace...
Even the Stars!
Magical Kingdoms
With giants! A King!
I can go anyplace...
Be anything
Here in my corner,
In my chair, you see,
I can be anything...
Even be...Me!
