You Can
Company Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see that you've got quite a mind for your age
Why, one think and you dragged me right onto the stage
Now, I'm here, there is no telling what may ensue
With a Cat such as me, and a thinker like you

Oh, the thinks you can think
Oh, the thinks you can think
If you're willing to try

Think invisible ink
Or a gink with a stink
Or a stair to the sky
If you open your mind
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose
Oh, the thinks you can think
When you think about

Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss!
Seuss! Seuss! Seuss! Seuss!
Seuss!

Oh, the thinks you can think
Any thinker who thinks
Can come up with a few

Oh, the thinks you can think

Think a trip on a ship
To the Vipper of Vipp
Or to Solla Sollew
Think of beautiful Schlopp
With a cherry on top
You don't need an excuse
Oh, the thinks you can think

When you think about Seuss!
Seuss, Seuss, Seuss
Seuss

Think of an elephant up in a tree
Think of a person too tiny to see
Think of a bird with a one-feather tail
Going on adventure down a dangerous trail
Think a bird who flies off on a spree
Think of a kangaroo, sour as can be
Think of some monkeys with trouble in store
Think of something horrible and hairy
Something sinister and scary
That you never dared to think of before

Think of nobody here
And the feeling of fear
And the darkness of night (ooh)

All alone in your room
As you're facing your doom
Think a glimmer of light (ah)

But I hope you're prepared
To be scareder than scared
'Cause this ain't mother goose
Think right over the brink
When you think about Seuss!

Seu-u-u-u-u, Seu, Seu, Seu-u-u-uss Seuss!
Seu-u-u-u-u, Seuss! Seuss!

An unusual story will soon be unfurled
Of an elephant trying to save a small world
And a boy from that world who has thinks just like you

Just think!
From the Planet of Who
And the smallest of small
To the jungle of Nool
And the largest of all

You think and you think
And think and think and think and think
And think and think and think and think
And think and think and think and think
And think!

Just think!

Oh, the thinks you can think
Think and wonder and dream
Far and wide as you dare

Oh, the thinks you can think

When your thinks have run dry
In the blink of an eye
There's another think there
If you open your mind
Oh, the thinks you will find
Lining up to get loose

Oh, the thinks you can think
Oh, the thinks you can think
Oh, the thinks you can think
Oh, the thinks you can think

Oh, the thinks you can think
When you think about Seuss!
When you think about Seuss!
When you think about Seuss!





Seuss!

Overall Meaning

By using playful language and silly imagery, the song encourages listeners to embrace their imagination and think boldly.

The song then begins to list off imaginative scenarios that the listener can envision, including soaring to the sky, imagining invisible ink and creating new and fantastical creatures.


The song then shifts towards more frightening imagery, naming the feeling of fear and the darkness of night. This shift is meant to emphasize that creativity and imagination can include both positive and negative emotions, and that great ideas can come from exploring all aspects of the world.


Overall, "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" is an ode to creativity and the power of the human imagination. It encourages listeners to embrace their own unique ideas and to dare to think outside of the box.

Can we, we keep
Keep each other company?
Maybe we, can be
Be each other's company
Oh company

Let's set each other's lonely nights
Be each other's paradise
Need a picture for my frame
Someone to share my reign
Tell me what you wanna drink
Tell you what I got in mind
Oh I don't know your name
But I feel like that's gonna change

You ain't gotta be my lover
For me to call you baby
Never been about no pressure
Ain't that serious

Can we, we keep
Keep each other company?
Maybe we, can be
Be each other's company
Oh company

It ain't about the complications
I'm all about the elevation
We can keep it goin' up
Oh, don't miss out on us
Just wanna have a conversation
Forget about the obligations
Maybe we can stay in touch
Oh that ain't doin' too much

You ain't gotta be my lover
For me to call you baby
Never been about no pressure
Ain't that serious, no

Can we, we keep
Keep each other company?
Maybe we, can be
Be each other's company
Oh company

Can be, can be
Be each other's company
Be each other's company
Just be each other's company
Be each other’s company
Can we, we keep
Keep each other company?
Maybe we, can be
Be each other's company
Oh company
SUSCRIBETE A MI CANAL (YA ESTAS TARDANDO)
JAJAJA
