Now, can you move right to the beat?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you touch head, your shoulders and your feet?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you shake hands with a neighbor or friend?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you spread on a sandwich peanut butter and jam?
I can do that — I can do that
Now stop, get ready, jump up high and say
I can do that — I can do that
Can you shoot a basketball through a hoop?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you throw a ball and catch it, too?
I can do that — I can do that
And can you really comb your hair?
I can do that — I can do that
And can you brush your teeth up and down everywhere?
I can do that — I can do that
Now stop, get ready, jump up high and say
I can do that — I can do that
Chorus:
And I believe it’s true (Children echo & sing)
There’s so much I can do
And I feel good inside
I can do it if I try
Can you paint a picture so very nice?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you steer and pedal your own bike?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you help out and clean up your room?
I can do that — I can do that
Can you show thumbs up and be proud of you?
I can do that — I can do that
Now stop, get ready, jump up high and say
I can do that — I can do that
Chorus
