“What I do”

“What I DO” lyrics 

What I do makes me who I am. What I do with my feet and my hands.

I can run really fast, I can walk really slow, I can swing a baseball bat, becuase I know.

What I do makes me who I am what I do with my feet and my hands.

I can row any boat, I can climb any tree, I can go anywhere casuse I see.

What I do makes me who I am. What I do with my feet and my hands.

“What I Say” Lyrics

What I say makes me who I am, What I say to my freinds and my fam (Family).

I can talk really fast, I can talk quiet too, I can sing any song, you can too.

What I say makes me who I am, What I say to my freinds and my fam (Family).

I can talk really fast, I can talk quiet too, I can hum any song, becasue I know.

What I say makes me who I am, What I say to my freinds and my fam (Family).

“I Affect Others”

“I Affect Others” Lyrics

I can share, I can care, I can be nice to everyone out there        I can walk, I can run, as long as everyone’s having fun               

Becasue What I do and what I say isn’t just for me today. 

I can share, I can care, I can be nice to everyone out there.       I can walk, I can run, as long as everyone’s having fun.

Becasue what I do and what I say isn’t just for me today.

I can share, I can care, I can be nice to everyone out there.       I can walk, I can run as long as you are having fun.
