The Me I Be

I want to swing like a monkey
in the trees
I want to swim like a turtle in the sea
If I could race like a cheetah
nobody would beat-a-me
But I also dig being the me that I be


I wish I was a bear getting honey
From the bees
Only worried about the bear necessities
If I could fly like an eagle
I could see everything he sees
But I also dig being the me that I be


All the elephants
And bouncing kangaroos
They have special things
That they can do
But I do too


I’m going to swing like a monkey
In the trees
I’m going to swim like a turtle
In the sea
And when the eagle flies overhead
He’ll look down and wish he was me
It’s pretty great being the me that I
Be.
