Chorus 4X:
Whatchya gotta be? I gotta be me!

Some got mustaches
and some got beards
some wear big old
earrings in their ears
and you might think
some of them look kinda weird
but they gotta be them
so I’m glad that they’re here
some wear T-shirts
and some wear ties
some got big glasses
in front of their eyes
and if you keep lookin
then you’ll be surprised
cause man, people come
in every shape and size
as big as a house
as small as a mouse
some are mellow
some like to scream and shout
some come from other countries
that you read about
that’s a lot
and I still left some people out
some are young like you
some are old like your grandpa
some frown
some are jolly like Santa
there’s a lot of colors
and ways to be
but I can’t be them, nope
I gotta be me

Chorus 4X:

Whatchya gotta be? I gotta be me!

Hey-sometimes when you play
at school
another kid acts like you’re not so cool
they laugh at your clothes or say something mean
and then your good day
feels like a bad dream
but hey-it happens
to everyone
so don’t let it stop you
from havin fun
you don’t have to be like
anyone else
but remember
that you got to love yourself
some people think
making you fell bad
will make them feel good
and that’s just sad
but no matter what they
do or say
it’s just a game
and you don’t have to play
if they call you weird
and you want them to stop
you can either say
“no I’m not!”
or you can say
“yep I’m as weird as can be
and you know what?
I love it
I gotta be me!”

Chorus 4X
Whatchya gotta be? I gotta be me!
