歌词
You Can Do (Whatever) You can do whatever you want to do Anything you want – you can do You can ride a tiger or walk the dog Anything you wish can be true You can watch the world as it passes by Or you can make it stop for you You can stay at home or brave a storm When the blizzard blows You can dance around in the rain Or watch from the window You can lay in bed and do nothing Or rise and shine You can take whatever comes around But please don’t take what’s mine You can do whatever you want to do Anything you want – you can do You can say whatever you wish to say But if you do then, please make it true You can chase a dream in the black of night Or you can make it walk to you You can treat the world like a piece of dust Or a pot of gold You can be a child in your heart Or you can grow old You can laze around in your jeans Or put on a suit You can be the be the boss of the company Or just join the queue You can close your eyes to the dark Or make it bright You can’t stop the wrongs of the world If you can’t make it right You can hide at home When the soldiers start to march out You can listen to what they say Or you can shout! Ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh
