I Said I Can't All My Life
Now I Can Say I Can
I said I can't all my life,
Now I say I can!
I will tell you how I did it so,
As long as you leave out the spam!
Everyone said I was "Full of beans,"
So I canned them in a can;
I added a few sprigs of leaves,
So I didn't need any ham,
My can was full but not quite there,
So in went Majory and Rosemary;
This was not enough to bring out my I can,
So I chunked it up with ham.
My mum looked at me and she said,
"No silly, food goes in a tin!"
I told her I was making new brains,
To make my I can insane.
So now I tell you, this is true,
I said "I can't" all my life,
My little can of goodies means,
Now I can say,
"I can!"
