Lyrics

Johnny:
Things aren't going well today
You're feeling pretty low

Basil:
That's true.

Johnny:
Well, I'm not worried
You'll come through

Basil:
I will?

Johnny:
Sure.

Johnny:
I'll tell you how I know...

I believe in you, Basil
I know what you can do
I believe in you, Basil
Believe it or not, it's true
Trust me here, I know I'm right
You're a great problem-fixing Sprite
Oh, I believe in you, Basil
You should too

Basil:
Aww, thanks, Johnny. That's nice, but without the key to my Helpful Hints book, it's just-

Johnny:
I believe in you, Basil
With or without that key
I believe in you, Basil
You can fix things 1, 2, 3
Problems big or problems small
If you use your brain, you can fix 'em all
Oh, I believe in you, Basil
You should too

So tell yourself that you can help
To fix whatever's wrong
Take a breath, believe in you
And sing out loud and strong, loud and strong

I believe in you, Basil
And I'm not the only one

Johnny, Ginger, Lily, Root, Seymour and Fuzzies:
We believe in you, Basil
We know you can get it done
It's for sure, not maybe or might
Basil, you're out go-to Sprite
Oh, we believe in you, Basil

Johnny:
I believe in you, Basil

Johnny, Ginger, Lily, Root, Seymour and Fuzzies:
We believe in you, Basil
You should too
