LYRIC
YOU CAN BE- Country Yossi- Welcome Back Kivi & Tuki
You can be
Oh, anything you wanna be
There’s no impossibility
Cause you really never know
That you can be
Oh, anything you’d like to be
Pursue your dreams tenaciously
And never let them go.
Oh, what a beautiful world
Full of wonder and light
Hashem created it right.
Oh, what a wonderful life
Live it honest and true
Hashem’s rootin’ for you.
Oh, you can be
A doctor or a millionaire
And go to a Daf Yomi Shiur
Every single day.
Or you can be
A Tzaddik like Reb Moshe was
And do the things a Gadol does
Let the Torah show the way.
Oh, what a beautiful world
There’s so much you can do
With a Mitzvah or two.
Oh, what a wonderful life
You can travel so far
When you reach for a star.
Ok, Tuki, now it’s your turn to sing the song.
And please, this time, don’t drive me crazy by
Changing the words and making believe you don’t know them
Like you always do. Cause this time, I won’t fall for it, Tuki!
You got it?
Oh, I got it, Country Yossi!
Oh, I can be (So far, so good)
Oh, anywhere I wanna be (Uh oh. Anywhere?)
And I know where I’m gonna be (Gonna be where?)
Lying in my bed! (Oh no. In bed?)
Oh, I can be (You can be what?)
The only place I gotta be (Where do you gotta be?)
Lying there so comfortably with my pillow on my head
(Oh no, not the pillow again, Tuki!)
Oh, what a comfortable bed (Oh, give me a break)
It’s so cozy and warm (Cozy and warm…)
I’m gonna sleep up a storm (Oh, there’s certainly gonna be a storm, Tuki)
Oh, what a wonderful place
Please don’t make a peep (Don’t make a peep? Why not?)
I’ll be trying to sleep. (Oy, fooey!)
You know, Tuki, a man once asked the Vilna Gaon
how he became the great Vilna Gaon.
The Gaon smiled and answered,
“Vil nor. Kenst du oich veren ah Gaon!”
If you really want it bad enough,
Anybody can be a big talmid Chochom. Even you, Tuki!
Really?
Just go for it. Cause you can be anything you wanna be!
You know, Country Yossi, I think you just convinced me.
Let me try that song one more time!
Oh, I can be (What can you be?)
A doctor or a millionaire (You certainly can!)
And go to a Daf Yomi Shiur
Every single day. (Now you’re talkin’, Tuki!)
Or I can be (Now what can you be, Tuki?)
A Tzaddik like Reb Moshe was (Oh…)
And do the things a Gadol does (I’d love to see that…)
I’ll let the Torah show the way. (Oh, I’m so proud of you, Tuki)
Oh, what a beautiful world
There’s so much I can do
With a Mitzvah or two. (The Vilna Gaon would be proud of you, Tuki!)
Oh, what a wonderful life
I can travel so far
When I reach for a star. (Gevaldig, Tuki! Let me join you there!)
Oh, you can be (I can be)
Anything you’d like to be (wanna be)
Pursue your dreams tenaciously (Dream my dreams)
And never let them go.
OK!
