I Can: Song of the Week

The inspired Rosalinde Block has given us another song -- this time performed by the inspiring Darin Riggi. It speaks -- or sings -- for itself.

I CAN

Doctor—lawyer—realtor—voyeur
So many careers to choose from
With no arrears to lose from
He-man—she-man—if they can do it, I CAN
I’m brilliant, witty, I’m wise—and
I can even put one out like Streisand

I’m at the top of the male persuasion
All my body parts are working fine
Got the props for every occasion
Missing something? Come and borrow mine
Cazh or corporate—I’ll leave you fawnin’
My satin B-ball shorts—the talk of the team
Got the perfect towels to bring a’saunin’
Can keep a mud mask from melting in the steam

I can do three sets of 50 crunchies
I can tread the mill at the highest speed
I can drink Heineken and get the munchies
Sports Illustrated—what a read!

Hmmmm, let’s see—what else can I do?
Cuz you know I CAN!!

I can be a fireman on Fire Island
I can be a plumber—got the pipes and tools
I can be the cop I was last Halloween
I can be a governor who breaks the rules
I can be an actor like John Wayne
With a temper like Russell Crowe

I can do a stay in the military
I grew up playing with a GI Joe



Yeah, I can make the most of those red, white and blues
I can run for office in that oval room
I can be the host of the evening news
As it is, I’m the leading fruit for Fruit of the Loom

Oh Judy—Judy—Judy! In the name of Dorothy, I don’t think there’s anything I CAN’T do!


I can be a carpenter and nail some wood
I can be a ranger in the Rockies
I can be a CEO down low in the hood
I can be a model and work these jockeys


Yes I’m all male—I’ve got the goods to prove it
So my tail wags more than it should when I move it
I’d rather groove on who I really am
You ask—I’ll tell, Uncle Sam!
I’d rather carry on like I have all along
I was born in this body—and God’s never wro
