I Believe We Can

"I Believe We Can" is a song performed in the special "Phineas and Ferb Summer Belongs to You!" by Clay Aiken with backing vocals by Chaka Khan, acting as musical "stunt doubles" for Phineas and Ferb.
==Lyrics==
:Clay Aiken: What is a summer really
:But a tepid month or three?
:Ferb: Clay Aiken?
:Phineas: Yeah. I hired a stunt singer, what do you think?
:Clay Aiken: If you agree with Buford
:That's all it will ever be
:And we don't need to break the laws of physics
:To make a day that's longer than a day
:We can follow that old sun 'round the circumference of the globe
:And stop all the naysayers from naysaying
:'Cause I believe we can
:And that's the measure, the measure of a man
:It may sound far-fetched, this thing we've got planned
:But I believe we can
:I believe we can (Ooh, I believe, I believe we can)
:And that's the measure, the measure of a man (Oh, that's the measure of a man)
:Phineas: (to Ferb) Chaka Khan. Nice.
:We'll make it back here (We'll make it back here) to where we began...(Oh...)
:Phineas (Clay Aiken): Or at least that's the plan! (laugh)
:Chaka Khan: Of course, first you're gonna have to fix this wing, yeah!
:Hey where's Perry?
==Demo version==
The demo was a rough songwriting demo for "This Is Our Inspirational Song", the first version of the opening song in the special "Summer Belongs To You." (This first version, a satire of inspirational songs, was cut and the beginning part was rewritten by Dan and Martin as the song seen above.)
:What is this back yard
:It's just grass and dirt and tree
:And if you believe in Buford
:That's all it will ever be
:But if you can dream be on our team
:And here's a song to help you along
:Every musical needs an inspirational song
:Where the trumpets unfurl
:And the orchestra swirls
:And because it's intense it needn't be too long
:If it's a little brassy it's OK if it's classy
:With a chorus that makes you feel strong
:And it helps if you sing along
:This is our inspirational song
:With a melody that rises
:Without too many surprises
:Which explains why we sing
:The same note for so long
:To amp up the emotion
:As we ramp up to the end of our song
:Inspirational song
:We sing it loud and strong
:It helps if you sing along
:Inspirational song
:When you sing as a throng
:It makes you feel you belong
:And so it doesn't get moldy
:Like a broadway oldie
:It helps if you bang a gong
:And end our inspirational song
:Inspirational song (4x)
:That was so inspiring!
