Lyrics

 * Theo: Nobody gets it right the first time.
 * Lexi: Everybody makes mistakes
 * Or goofs or gaffes!
 * Theo: We were put together
 * In a flurry of excitement
 * Lexi: But look at us now!
 * What are we like?
 * You simply have to laugh!
 * We're unusual
 * We're unique


 * Theo: In other words, she's saying
 * That we're freaks!


 * Lexi: Built by geeks!


 * Theo: We're experiments gone bad!


 * Lexi: In other words, whoever designed us
 * Must be mad!


 * Theo: Too many funnels
 * Or too many cogs!


 * Lexi: We knew a guy who was built
 * To run on logs!


 * Theo: Too many wheels
 * And gears and rods!


 * Lexi: It's no wonder that we look so odd!


 * Theo (spoken): "Give me a prod!"


 * Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * ANYTHING! It's true!


 * Lexi: We're originals!
 * We're one of a kind!
 * We're upside down
 * And forward to behind.


 * Theo: We're experiments gone wrong!


 * Lexi: This yard's the only place
 * that we could ever belong!
 * We always try to do our best,
 * Sadly we rarely pass the test!


 * Theo (spoken): "I made a mess!"


 * Lexi: Give us a job!
 * Give us a task!
 * Whatever it is, you'll be sorry
 * That you asked!


 * Theo and Lexi: But what can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * ANYTHING! It's true!


 * Merlin (spoken): "Ooh, ooh, ooh! I can do something!"


 * Thomas (spoken): "Merlin?"


 * Merlin: Invisibility on!
 * I'm invisible, or can't you see?
 * "Who said that?"
 * You ask. It's only me!
 * You look surprised, but have no fear!
 * It's just a little trick
 * To make myself disappear!


 * Thomas: *coughs* *screams*
 * Merlin (spoken): "Hello again!"


 * Lexi and Theo: We're lumpy and bumpy
 * We haven't got the puff
 * They tried to make us better
 * But sometimes enough's enough!
 * We're wobbly and knobbly
 * And awkward in reverse!
 * If practice makes you perfect
 * we're the ones they never rehearsed!
 * But what can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * What can't we do?
 * ANYTHING! Its true!


 * Lexi: We can't do ANYTHING!
 * That's true!
 * We can't do ANYTHING!


 * Merlin: But we can try!
 * We can give anything a try!
 * We will give anything a try!
 * Isn't that right?
