The Things You Can Do

"The Things You Can Do" is a song from "Yes, You Can!", one of the original Johnny and the Sprites shorts. It is performed by John Tartaglia as Johnny, Tim Lagasse as Basil and various characters as the Fuzzies. It is performed by Johnny and the Fuzzies as a means to cheer Basil up because he is sad about not being able to fly, though Basil, cheered up, eventually joins the song as well. It was written and composed by Gary Adler.

Lyrics
Johnny

Well, you're sad 'cause you can't fly Please don't sit around and cry It won't do you any good Just feelin' blue

So allow me to suggest That instead of being depressed You should think about the things that you can do

Now, I know that you can dance

Fuzzies

Dance!

Johnny

Speak in French like you're from France

Fuzzies

France!

Basil

Omelette de fromage!

Johnny

Paint a picture of a flower garden too

Fuzzies

Paint a picture of flowers too!

Johnny

Tie your shoes and fly a kite Doesn't it make you feel all right

Johnny and Fuzzies

When you think about the things

Johnny

That you can do?

Fuzzies

Do do do

Johnny and Fuzzies

Everyone

Johnny

Can't do

Johnny and Fuzzies

Everything

Johnny

Celebrate what you can do And your heart will sing

Fuzzies

Sing, oh-oh-oh!

Johnny

You can help a friend when they're in need

Basil

Cook a chicken that is fricassed

Now I'm thinkin' 'bout the things

Johnny

It's the greatest way to spread your wings

Johnny, Basil and Fuzzies

You should about the wonderful things that you can do!
