I Am Schipperke
-Original Words and Music by Helen Reddy and Ray Burton
I am Schipperke, hear me bark
With an ego too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna flip me on my back again
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of treats
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much weight I’ve gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Schipperke
You can bend but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am Schipperke watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I am still a bear cub
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother Simon understand
CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of treats
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much weight I’ve gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am Schipperke
Oh, I am Schipperke
I am invincible
I am strong
FADE
I am Schipperke
I am invincible
I am strong
I am Schipperke
