I can do it by myself, yes I can
I can do it by myself, yes I can
I can do it by myself, and no one else
I can do it by myself, yes I can

But it’s okay to ask for help
As long as I try my best
To do it by myself, and no one else
I can do it by myself, yes I can

I’ll play the drum by myself, watch and see
I’ll play the drum by myself, watch and see
I’ll play the drum by myself, and no one else
I’ll play the drum by myself, look at me!

I’ll play the bells by myself, watch and see
I’ll play the bells by myself, watch and see
I’ll play the bells by myself, and no one else
I’ll play the bells by myself, look at me!

{Repeat verse using different tasks}

I did it by myself, yes I did
I did it by myself, yes I did
I did it by myself, and no one else
I did it by myself, yes I did

And it’s okay to ask for help
As long as I try my best
I did it by myself, and no one
I did it by myself, yes I did
