Lyrics
Theo: We were put together in a flurry of excitement.

Lexi: But look at us now, what are we like?

You simply have to laugh!

We're unusual, we're unique.

Theo: In other words, she's saying that we're freaks!

(Lexi: Doppa geeks!)

Theo: We're experiments gone bad!

Lexi: In other words, whoever designed us must be mad!

Theo: Too many funnels or too many cogs!

Lexi: We know a guy who was built to run on logs!

Theo: Too many wheels and gears and rods!

Lexi: It's no wonder that we look so odd!

But..

(Chorus):

Both: What can't we do?

What can't we do?

What can't we do?

Anything! It's true!

Lexi: We're originals, one of a kind.

We're upside down and forward to behind!

Theo: We're experiments gone wrong!

Lexi: This yard's the only place that we could ever belong.

We always try to do are best

sadly, we really pause the test!

(Theo: I made a mess!)

Lexi: Give us a job, give us a task!

Whatever it is, you'll be sorry that you asked

Both: But...

(Chorus)

Merlin (spoken): Invisibility, ON!!!

I'm invisible or can't you see?

"Who said that?" you ask; it's only me!

You look surprised, but have no fear!

It's just a little trick to make myself disappear!

Theo and Lexi: We're bumpy and lumpy,

we haven't-a-got the puff!

They try to make us better but

sometimes they're often rough!

We're wobbly and knobbly

and awkward in reverse!

If practice makes you better,

then for us it makes us worse!

But...

(Chorus)

Lexi: We can't do anything, that's true!

Lexi: We can't do anything!

Merlin: But we can try!

We can give anything a try!

We will give anything a try!

Isn't that right?
