Do you ever wonder?
Do you ever wonder why a mole can’t see
Or a snake can’t sing or a fish can’t walk?
Do you ever wonder why a snail can’t talk?
Do you wonder what it’s like to be me?
Do you ever wonder why a goose can’t ski
Or a dog can’t write or a hen can’t hop?
Do you ever wonder why a shark can’t stop?
Do you ever wonder what it’s like to be me?
Do you ever wonder why a cow can moo
Or a seal can clap or a goat can bleat?
Do you ever wonder why a bird can tweet?
Do you ever think of things that I can do?
Do you ever think I’m not the same as you
Or show that in the things you say?
Well, I can think of lots of games that we can play.
Why don’t we think of things that we can do?
