I Can Do It By Myself Lyrics - Sesame Street

Some things are easy 

Some things are not 

Some things I remember 

Some things I forgot 

I remember how to brush my teeth 

And how to touch my toes 

But now I've got this problem and I can't see how it goes 

But, one day 

One hap happy day 

I'm gonna do it by myself 

One day 

One hap happy day 

I won't need anybody else 

'Cause I will do it by myself 

(now a different boy, blonde, trying to button up a blue shirt as the tempo of the song slows down) 

It's not outside out 

It's not inside out 

But still I got some trouble here 

That I have to think about 

It's a problem I've had 

Since I was 2 years old 

That's how to get this button 

Through that old button hole 

Oh how do ya get that button 

Through that old button hole 

(whistling) 

(now a little girl proudly putting on pink pajamas with ease as the tempo picks up again) 

It's easy 

Oh so easy 

Just as easy as falling out of a tree 

Easy as 1-2-3 for me 

Easy as do-re-mi you see 

Easy as 1-2-3 

(back to the first boy as he buttons up his pajamas) 

One day 

One hap happy day 

I'm gonna do it by myself 

One day 

Well it just might be today 

I won't need anybody else 

I can do it by myself 

I just did it by myself
