[C] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[G] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[C] Ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to

[C] Ya can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage  [ REPEAT 2X ]
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to.

[Chorus]  [F] All ya got to do, is [C] put your mind to it
[D]  Knuckle-down [G7] buckle-down,  [N.C.] do-it do-it do-it

Well, you can’t go swimming in a baseball pool – – – –

Ya can’t change film with a kid on your back – – – –

[Chorus] 

You can’t drive around with a tiger in your car – – – –

Well, ya can’t rollerskate in a buffalo herd [ REPEAT 2X ]
[G] But [N.C.] you can be happy if you’ve a mind to

Ya can’t go fishin’ in a watermelon patch – – – –
