You Can Always Be Number One
CHORUS:
You can always be number one!
You can always be a winner!
Even if you’ve played the game for years,
Or you play like a beginner!
You can always be number one!
Let Goofy show you how:
Don’t hide your face when you miss a point;
Get up and take a bow!
[INTERLUDE]
The world of sports is a wide, wide world,
From Little League to Pro:
Footballs kicked, horseshoes tossed,
Javelins to throw!
But don't spend up all your free time
Watching others havin' fun!
Get up and let the bench cool off:
Hit the first home run!
CHORUS:
You can always be number one!
You can always be a winner!
Even if you've played the game for years,
Or you play like a beginner!
You can always be number one!
Let Goofy show you how:
Don't hide your face when you miss a point;
Get up and take a bow!
So if you stumble and fall, [Goofy screams]
Or if you fumble the ball, (Goofy: Whoops!)
Just keep on giving your all,
And havin' fun! [Goofy laughs]
You may be first or last place,
Or you may fall on your face, [Goofy screams]
But if you're running the race:
You're number one!
[INTERLUDE]
Goofy has been known to goof;
That's how he got his name!
But G! O! O-F-Y! (Goofy: Gawrsh!)
He never quits a game!
He jumps right in and plays again,
When you'd think he's through;
If he can do that everytime:
Think what YOU can do!
CHORUS VARIANT:
You can always be number one!
Each and every time you play!
Even though you may have two left feet,
And they're always in the way!
You can always be number one!
Let Goofy spread the news:
Just play the very best you can,
And there's no way you can lose!
CHORUS:
You can always be number one!
You can always be a winner!
Even if you've played the game for years,
And you play like a beginner!
You can always be number one!
Let Goofy show you how:
Don't hide your face when you miss a point;
Get up and take a bow!
[Goofy screams]
CHORUS:
You can always be number one!
You can always be a winner!
Even if you've played the game for years,
Or you play like a beginner!
You can always be number one!
Let Goofy show you how:
Don't hide your face when you miss a point;
Get up and take a bow!
