Now you listen to my story
‘Bout the end of foolish glory
It’s about a boy who thought he
Could do what he wanted but he
Did forget to use his head
And this is what he said
“I can do what you want me to
I can go where you want to go
I can do whatever you might tell me
I can run down the cherry lane faster than a train
I can walk to the setting sun faster than a horse can run
I am fully capable of beating all the heroes of today”
Now a little boy has lost his
Friends, but he keeps talking and pretends
That he can lift a table
And that he is really able
To lay down a full grown man
With his little hands
“I can do what you want me to
I can go where you want to go
I can do whatever you might tell me
I can run down the cherry lane faster than a train
I can walk to the setting sun faster than a horse can run
I am fully capable of beating all the heroes of today”
“Stop this nonsense” says his father
But it doesn’t really bother
Then he meets this little girl-eh
With the shiny hair so curly
Tells him that she won’t be playing
Until he stops saying
“I can do what you want me to
I can go where you want to go
I can do whatever you might tell me
I can climb up the highest trees
Sting like a bumblebee
Swim like a shark and steal the flowers in park
I can climb up the mountains faster than what’s ever been told”
“I can do what you want me to
I can go where you want to go
I can do whatever you might tell me
I can run down the cherry lane faster than a train
I can walk to the setting sun faster than a horse can run
I am fully capable of beating all the heroes of today”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s me, it’s me, it is
