Chorus:

Everybody does what they do best, the best

Everyone has something makes them different from the rest

Birds can fly and whales keep warm

But no one digs like the mighty worm

Everybody does what they do best, the best

Don't you know that rats can't rollerskate?

Geese can't dance ballet in Swan Lake

Whoever heard of a juggling duck

And why put a skunk in swimming trunks?

Chorus

Don't give a flute to a newt or a porcupine

Kangaroos jump and they do just fine

Don't ask a shrew to play charades

Or dress up a sheep in window shades

(1/2 chorus solo)

Birds can fly and whales keep warm, but no one digs like the mighty worm

Everybody does what they do best, the best

Don't play tag with a parrot and a cat

You'll sleep in the day if you sleep with a bat

Do what you do in your own style

That's what the animals do in the wild

Chorus

Everybody does what they do best, the best

Everybody does what they do best, the best

Everybody does what they do best, the best
