Lyrics
- I have a lot of friends so I take good care
- To pull my own weight, to do my own share
- 'Cause I really don't need to ask for somebody else
- To do the things for me that I can do for myself
- My real good friends will come if I call
- To help me if I can't manage it all
- 'Cause I do sometimes need a little help
- And most of the times I try to do it myself
- I can make my own room nice and neat
- Every day I take the toys from my feet and put them away
- I can pick up all of my clothes
- So there'll be enough room from my heel and my toes
- I can walk my puppy most every day
- 'Cause it's mine though I'd rather run out to play
- Sometimes we walk along the street and down the lane
- Around the park and back again
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it myself
- La, la, la, la, la
- Don't need anybody else
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it alone
- Most of the time
- I can do it on my own
- So if you have good friends I think you'll find
- To help you if you're in a really big mind
- Or if there's more than you can handle alone
- But the rest of the time you can do it on your own
- Your real good friends will come if you call
- To help you if you can manage it all
- 'Cause we do sometimes need a little help
- And most of the time we try to do it ourselves
- I can wash my own dishes clean; it's a cinch
- Put them in the dish-washing machine in a pinch
- Just take them from the table when I finish my food
- 'Cause to leave them all over is a little bit rude
- I can make myself good things to eat; let me think
- I'd like a peanut butter sandwich something sweet and a drink
- I can spit it on the bread right out of the jar
- Have an apple for a drink and there you are
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it myself
- La, la, la, la, la
- Don't need anybody else
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it alone
- Most of the time
- I can do it on my own
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it myself
- La, la, la, la, la
- Don't need anybody else
- La, la, la, la, la
- I can do it alone
- Most of the time
- I can do things on my own
