This song is also available on Ants on a Log album Make It Myself.
We could get in the car and go to the store
And easily find what we're looking for
Applesauce: aisle 4.
No mess, no skin, no apple cores.
Or we could take our time, go slow
Pick the apples where they grow
Learn to make it all myself
My very own applesauce on my shelf!
We could get in the car and go to the store
And easily find what we're looking for
Blankets: aisle 4.
Comforters, quilts, and everything warm.
Or we could take our time, go slow
Learn to knit and learn to sew
Learn to make it all myself
My very own blanket on my shelf.
Come and learn to make something with me
What should we make? What do we need?
What do we want to have on our shelves?
Together we'll make something from nothing
And when we’re done we’ll say we made it ourselves.
We could get in the car and go to the store
And easily find what we're looking for
Playdough: aisle 4
Gak and ooze and slime galore!
Or we could take our time, go slow
Find some glue and baking soda
Learn to make it all myself
My very own playdough on my shelf.
All the TV ads want to sell me
Things they say they already made, they already made to put on my shelf
But they could never sell me the feeling
That I get inside after I make it myself.
No they could never sell me the feeling…
(What should we make? What do we need? What do we want to have on our
shelves?) No they could never sell me the feeling…
(The apples I picked, the blankets I knit, I found the glue and made it myself!)
That I get inside after I make it myself.
