Do It on My Own
Fraggle Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can pop the popcorn.
I can fill the pop machine.
I can even be the diving queen.
I can do it on my own.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own
I can build a grand stand,
For the fans from near and far.
I can be the band, because I play a mean guitar.
I can even be the swimming star.
I can do it on my own.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Yes I can.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
On my own.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own.
Don't pretend that you can bake and race and bang a hammer.
Why pretend when you want the best,
And we all know that I am her.
Don't pretend that no one else has got abilities.
I don't need pretending all I need is me, me, me!
I can swim and I can win,
'Cause I'm the referee.
I can give myself the prize for popularity.
I can even shout, "Hooray for me!"
I can do it on my own.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Yes I can.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Gonna do it.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
On my own.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Stand back.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Look out.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
Gonna do it.
(Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own.

Fraggle Rock Songs and Lyrics
I explore the universe,
It’s what I gotta do.
Every great explorer needs adventures that are new.
But there’s one more thing that must be true.
I can do it on my own (do it do it on your own)
Yes I can! (do it do it on your own)
On my own! (do it do it on your own)
I can do it on my own!
I go out in spite of doubt,
To see what I can see.
Hoping to discover what a hero oughta be
Sometimes I discover that it’s me.
I can do it own my own (do it do it on your own)
Yes I can! (do it do it on your own)
Gonna do it! (do it do it on your own)
On my own! (do it do it on your own)
Stand back! (do it do it own your own)
Look out! (do it do it own your own)
Gonna do it! (do it do it own your own)
I can do it on my own!
