Can you do something, can you do something,
can you do something with that.
Can you make something, can you make something,
can you make something with that.
We all start out as unformed dough.
Go out and shape your own life any way you know.
You’ve got one chance to make
Something of your life.
You start out basic, half-baked as it were,
taking orders from somebody else.
You start out basic, half-baked as it were,
taking orders from somebody else.
Form a strong foundation (tomato and cheese),
Start with the basics for now (hold the anchovies please),
You’ve got one chance to make
Something of your life.
Can I flip it – can I roll it – can I give it a spin?
I’m ready to fly it high!
Can I flip it – can I roll it – can I give it a spin?
I’m ready to fly it high!
Load it up with everything, veggies and meat,
Make it hot and spicy, I’m ready to eat.
I’m ready to deliver and make
Something of my life.
Now I’m on a roll, I can whip these things out,
five orders at a time.
Now I’m on a roll, I can whip these things out,
five orders at a time.
Make it look easy, keep it all running smooth.
Keep the customers happy, always keep my cool.
I’ve got one chance, I’m making
Something of my life.
I can flip it – I can roll it – I can give it a spin!
I’m ready to fly it high!
I can flip it – I can roll it – I can give it a spin!
I’m ready to fly it high!
Load it up with everything, veggies and meat,
Make it hot and spicy, I’m ready to eat.
I’m ready to deliver and make
Something of my life.
Now I’ve got it down, now teach the next generation how to make something with that.
Now I’ve got it down, now teach the next generation how to make something with that.
Get out on the road, go door-to-door,
Get out on the road, I’m going store-to-store,
Give them all a chance to make
Something of their life.
You can flip it – You can roll it – You can give it a spin!
You’re ready to fly it high!
You can flip it – You can roll it – You can give it a spin!
You’re ready to fly it high!
You load it up with everything, veggies and meat,
Myself, I’m going back to basics, I’ll take mine neat.
And you go out there and deliver and make
Something of your life.
