Thomas & Friends
We Can’t Do Anything
Theo: Nobody gets it right the first time
Lexi: Everybody makes mistakes
Or goofs or gaffes!
Theo: We were put together
In a flurry of excitement
Lexi: But look at us now!
What are we like?
You simply have to laugh!
We're unusual
We're unique

Theo: In other words, she's saying
That we're freaks!

Lexi: Built by geeks!

Theo: We're experiments gone bad!

Lexi: In other words, whoever designed us
Must be mad!

Theo: Too many funnels
Or too many cogs!

Lexi: We knew a guy who was built
To run on logs!
Theo: Too many wheels
And gears and rods!

Lexi: It's no wonder that we look so odd!

Theo (spoken): "Give me a prod!"

Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?
What can't we do?
What can't we do?
ANYTHING! It's true!

Lexi: We're originals!
We're one of a kind!
We're upside down
And forward to behind

Theo: We're experiments gone wrong!

Lexi: This yard's the only place
That we could ever belong!
We always try to do our best
Sadly we rarely pass the test!

Theo (spoken): "I made a mess!"
Lexi: Give us a job!
Give us a task!
Whatever it is, you'll be sorry
That you asked!

Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?
What can't we do?
What can't we do?
ANYTHING! It's true!

Merlin (spoken): "Ooh, ooh, ooh! I can do something!"

Thomas (spoken): "Merlin?"

Merlin: Invisibility on!
I'm invisible, or can't you see?
"Who said that?"
You ask. It's only me!
You look surprised, but have no fear!
It's just a little trick
To make myself disappear!

Thomas: *coughs* *screams*
Merlin (spoken): "Hello again!"

Lexi and Theo: We're lumpy and bumpy
We haven't got the puff
They tried to make us better
But sometimes enough's enough!
We're wobbly and knobbly
And awkward in reverse!
If practice makes you perfect
We're the ones they never rehearsed!
But what can't we do?
What can't we do?
What can't we do?
ANYTHING! Its true!
Lexi: We can't do ANYTHING!
That's true!
We can't do ANYTHING!

Merlin: But we can try!
We can give anything a try!
We will give anything a try!
Isn't that right?
