From the recording "Yes, I CAN!" Songs
Lyrics
Now Ernie was an earthworm
Just an average kinda guy
Sure, he travelled low and
he travelled slow
But, hey, somehow he got by
Till he came upon a spider
Spinning out her web down low
Now he could go around;
He could knock it down
Did he detour? I think so
Sayin’, “I should! I would! I can!
Oh, Good!” and he’d say:
Chorus:
HUGGA-DUGGA, DIGGA-DIGGA,
DOKE-DOKE.
WUGGA-LUGGA, WIGGA-WOGGA,
WEE;
HUGGA-DUGGA, DIGGA,-DIGGA,
DOKE-DOKE
RESPONSIBIL-I-BIL-I-TY
Now an earthworm, he has choices.
He can turn left ‘r turn right
Or go straight ahead through
a flowerbed;
He can stop, or go all night
Once Ernie, he was travellin’
Saw an anthill; what’d he do?
They were hard at work;
Ernie was a jerk
And he barrelled right on through
Now Ernie, he felt badly
So he tried to make amends;
Ernie turned around and
repaired the ground
So he made some brand new friends
Then he set off on his travels
Feeling 54 feet tall! -
Sure, he’s just a squirt
travellin’ in the dirt
But I’d never call him small!!
Sayin’ “I should! I would! I can!
Oh, Good!”
(Repeat Chorus Twice and Whistle)
