You can be an astronaut
Floating out in space
Turning ninety somersaults
With a funny face
You can be a beekeeper
Collecting gobs of honey
Wouldn’t it be less painful
To get it from a bunny?
You can be a circus clown
Throwing a cream pie
To make the keeper of the bees
Laugh, instead of cry
You can be a daredevel
Jumping from a plane
You’re smarter than the other guy
Who tried it from a train!
You can be an Eskimo
Traveling by sled
Through the frozen tundra
With a husky dog named Fred
You can be a fireman
Dashing through the flames
Of your neighbor’s backyard barbeque
(We won’t mention their names)
You can be a garbage man
Picking up the trash
That sits outside the neighbor’s yard
With smoking coals and ash
You can be a hair stylist
Trimming heads of hair
Be careful not to try it on
A lion or a bear!
You can be an ice cream man
Playing silly tunes
The kids come running to your truck
They even bring their spoons!
You can be a juggler
Throwing balls and bats
As long as you don’t sling around
A goldfish or a cat
You can be a kite maker
Making things that fly
With all the colors of the world
Except, of course, the sky
You can be a lifeguard
Saving many lives
When the hippos and the rhinos
Are practicing their dives
You can be a movie star
Signing autographs
Even animals love you
From monkeys to giraffes
You can be a newscaster
Telling us the news
About the dancing bandit
In the ballerina shoes
You can be an officer
Protecting one and all
From that crazy dancing bandit
As you trip him in the hall
You can be a pizza guy
Spinning out the dough
Watch out for that little girl!
Keep practicing your throw
You can be a quilt maker
Stitching cloth with care
To place upon an old sheep’s bed
Who may have lost his hair
You can be a rancher
Sheering herds of sheep
But hopefully they’ll have a quilt
To warm them while they sleep
You can be a scuba diver
Looking for a ship
That sank to the bottom
Of a tub of onion dip
You can be a tuba player
Puffing out your cheeks
To blast a great big note
Every time your sister speaks
You can be an umpire
Calling all the strikes
Keep your eye on the ball
Or you might be calling, “Yikes!”
You can be a veterinarian
Healing people’s pets
Except for Joe’s piranha
Who keeps chewing through his nets
You can be weaver
Spinning thread so strong
To make a special order net
For Joe’s fish gone wrong
You can be an explorer
Discovering new places
See the beauty of the world
Made of wonderfully strange faces
You can be a zookeeper
Working at the zoo
Make sure you clean your shoes
Or we’ll all be saying, “Pew!”
ou can be a- hey!
We skipped the best one yet!
You should always be YOU
Born for greatness- you bet!
