[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
(E)
I can sing, I can sing, I can sing better
Asus2                       E
I can knit a scarf, but you can't knit a sweater
Asus2                 E
When I'm underwater I couldn't be wetter
Asus2                  E
Never go swimmin' in a mohair sweater

[Verse 2]
E 
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance faster
  Asus2                   E
I tried to keep up but it was a disaster
Asus2                 E
One more move and I'm gonna be the master
   Asus2                   E
So crank it up loud on the ghetto blaster

[Verse 3]
E
I can eat, I can eat, I can eat more
Asus2                            E
And when it's not fresh from the local store
Asus2                    E
There's a little town in Labrador
      Asus2                E
Where she sells seashells by the shoe store

[Verse 4]
E
I can speak, I can speak, I can speak quicker
Asus2                                 E
Imagine I made a way to make everyone currently frowning snicker
    Asus2                  E
And on the guitar he could be a little slicker
    Asus2                     E
But Jimmy always said I was a good flatpicker

[Instrumental]
G, Asus2 (x3), E

[Verse 5] - (Only played live, not on the album version)
E
I can sing, I can sing, I can sing better
Asus2                       E
I can knit a scarf, but you can't knit a sweater
Asus2                 E
When I'm underwater I couldn't be wetter
Asus2                  E
Never go swimmin' in a mohair sweater

[End on E]
