Not Good Yet
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
The Uncle Brothers
I'm Not Good Yet (But I'm Gonna Be)
I'm Not Good Yet (But I'm Gonna Be)
I'll use my brain, use my will
and race myself to the top of the hill
I may not be the best in the world
But I'll find the best in me
You can bet I'm Not Good Yet (But I'm Gonna Be)
I Thought I'd learn how to skate sometime
to fly like the wind and then stop on a dime
maybe I'm be in the winter olympics
and maybe I'm win a medal of gold
but now I'm just learning it's hard for me
The ice is a little too slippery
When I try to fly I only manage to fall
and in order to stop I have to crash into a wall
I'd love to paint like Van Goh or Dali
or at least like the guy who paints on the TV
in 30 short minutes he's done with a scene
That's what I want to do I want to paint what I dream
Now with careful precision I dab and I stroke
I'm gonna paint that house with a chimney and smoke
but everyone asks, "What the heck is this?"
I said whatever you think it is, then, that's what it is
Now I want to play the electric guitar
be the cool dude on stage standing next to the star
with the fans goin crazy and the lights on me
my fingers move so fast you can't even see
But I gotta start somewhere so here I am
Got a chord chart and a guitar in my hands
I practice all night and I practice all day
But this is what happens when I start to play........
I want to sing with incredible range
our national anthem at a world series game
I'll sing so loud and I'll sing so clear
the crowd will stop talking because they want to hear
I better start practicing constantly
I'll warm up my voice with a me me me me...
But when I sing I scare all the squirrels from the trees
And all the dogs around pack up and move away from me
