Yes I Can

The Irish Rovers

Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Never say die. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't be shy. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'

Well, there once was a little train who thought the hill was too hard to climb
The bigger trains just laughed at him, saying, 'We climb it all the time'
Well then one day he found the nerve, saying, 'This will be a breeze
Well, I think I can. I know I can'
And he climbed that hill with ease
Singin'

Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Never say die. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't be shy. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'

A baby eagle didn't want to leave its mother's side
Well, she said, 'It's time to learn to fly, for you can't stay here and hide'
He was afraid to spread his wings, for he might fall from the sky
But he said, 'I'm certain. After all I'm a bird'
Now you see him flying high
And he's singin'

'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Never say die. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't be shy. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'

Whenever you come to a problemless heart, here's a hint to help you along
Well, think it all through
And whatever you do don't forget the words to this song
Singin'

Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Never say die. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't be shy. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Singin'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Never say die. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'
Yes, I can
Yes, I can
Don't be shy. Give it a try, say, 'Yes, I can'

A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
We'd sing another but we haven't got the time

There's bread in the oven and there's butter on the shelf
If you want anymore, you'll have to sing it for yourself
