You Can Do (Whatever)! Lyrics by Yusuf Islam

Harold And Maude (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack / Deluxe)

1971

You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want you can do
You can ride a tiger or walk the dog
Anything you wish can be true
You can watch the world as it passes by
But you can make it stop for you
You can stay at home or brave a storm
When the blizzard blows
You can dance around in the rain or watch from the window
You can lay in bed and do nothing or rise and shine
You can take whatever comes around but
Please don't take what's mine
You can do whatever you want to do
Anything you want you can do
You can say whatever you wish to say
But if you do that, please make it true
You can chase a dream in the black of night
But you can make it walk to you
You can treat the world likе a piece of dust or a pot of gold
You can be a child in your hеart or you can grow old
You can laze around in your jeans or put on a suit
You can be the boss of the company or just join a queue
You can close your eyes to the dark or make it bright
You can stop the wrongs of the world if you can make it right
You can hide at home when the soldiers start to march out
You can listen to what they say or you can shout
