I Gotta Crow by Cathy Rigby Lyrics

[Peter Pan, spoken]
Wendy look!
My shadow! My very own shadow!

[Wendy, spoken]
It's only a shadow!

[Peter Pan, spoken]
Yes, but it's all mine
Oh, I am so clever
Oh the cleverness of me

[Wendy, spoken]
Of course, I did nothing
You're conceited!

[Peter Pan]
Conceited?
Not me
It's just that I am what I am
And I'm me!
When I look at myself
And I see in myself
All the wonderful things that I see
If I'm pleased with myself
I have every good reason to be
I've gotta crow!
I'm just the cleverest fellow
'Twas ever my fortune to know;
I taught a trick to my shadow
To stick to the tip of my toe
I've gotta crow!

I've gotta brag!
I think it's sweet
I have fingers and feet I can wiggle and wag
I can climb trees and play tag with the breeze
In the meadows below
I've gotta crow!

If I were a very ordinary
Every day thing
I'd never be heard cock-a-doodling
'Round like a bird!

So naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow!

I'm really a rare thing
Such a fair thing
I can't keep still!
I'm bursting with pride
And I just couldn't keep it inside
If I tried so...
Naturally
When I discover the cleverness of a remarkable me
How can I hide it
When deep down inside it just tickles me so
That I've gotta let go and crow!
