Do It Myself
The Backyardigans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do it myself, I can do it myself
That's the only way to get the job done right.
Do it myself, I can do it myself
Stay in your chair and stay out of my sight!
Pablo:
I started out badly but I'll know I'll improve
Tyrone:
You'll only improve if you sit and don't move
You don't know the ropes, your sea legs aren't great
And as a first mate, your pretty second rate
Pablo:
Can I help with...?
Tyrone:
No!
Pablo:
What if I tie them?
Tyrone:
No!
Pablo:
I'll try to fix them.
Tyrone:
No! You'll only break my flow.
Pablo:
I can probably swab the...
Tyrone:
No!
Pablo:
Or help raise the...
Tyrone:
No! It's a complicated boat, it must be handled by a pro
Do it myself, I can do it myself
Two hands on deck and both hands are mine
Do it myself, I can do it myself
I'm a solitary sailor on the foamy brine
Do it myself, I can do it myself
It's a one man ship and a one show
Do it myself, I can do it myself
The rainbow is calling and it's time to go!
The Backyardigans' song, "Do It Myself," is all about the importance of self-reliance and the desire to tackle life's challenges on one's own. The song is a conversation between Tyrone and Pablo, two of the backyardigans, as they work together to fix up a boat. Tyrone is adamant about doing everything himself and doesn't want any help or interference from Pablo. He believes that he is the only one capable of accomplishing the task at hand and is insistent that Pablo stays out of his way. Pablo, on the other hand, is eager to help but is constantly met with resistance by Tyrone. Despite his good intentions, Tyrone refuses to accept any assistance and chooses to do everything himself.
The lyrics of the song showcase the importance of individualism and taking initiative. Tyrone's determination to accomplish everything himself and his refusal to accept any help from anyone else is indicative of a strong sense of self-reliance. He understands that in order to get the job done right, he must do it himself, and this mentality is reflected in the repetitive chorus: "Do it myself, I can do it myself. That's the only way to get the job done right."
However, the song also highlights the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Despite Tyrone's reluctance to accept any help from others, Pablo continues to offer his assistance throughout the song. In the end, the two characters sail away together on the boat that Tyrone has fixed up, demonstrating the success that can be achieved when individuals combine their skills and work together towards a common goal.
