Adolph Green - I Gotta Crow 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 co*k-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!
