Do Your Own Thing - Brook Benton

People like to tell you

What you can’t do

They may be right

But who’s to say

You know you’ve got

Your own sing to sing

Do your own thing

Do your own thing today

Being free means

You can be your own self

And that means

Doing things your way

Don’t be a puppet

Tied to a string

Do your own thing

Do your own thing today

Today is all you

Can count on anyhow

For it’s here and it’s now

And happiness may spread

It’s wings tomorrow

So flap a feather while you may

Do it before that

Bluebird takes wing

Do your own thing

Do your own thing today

Don’t let that bluebird fly away

You’ve got to do your own thing

Do your own thing today
