==Lyrics==
The Owl:
There, if you're aimin' to carry that wreath around
You better keep your chin up 
And your feet on the ground
There, that's better
Makin' a champ out of a critter like you
Won't be an easy thing to do
Well, let's see now
Come over here, Danny and we'll take a look
Maybe get some help from the wisdom book
Ya know, just 'cause you're a little ol' sheep
Don't mean you can't get to the top of the heap
Where there's a will, there's a way 
Every dog has his day 
Heh-heh, sounds kinda corny, I'll admit 
But we oughtta find som'in' that'll help a bit 
A rolling stone...nah, that don't fit 
Ha, here we are, Danny, this is it 
It's what you dew... 
Oh, yes, It's whatcha D-O-do 
With whatcha got that counts, yes sir!
It's whatcha do with what you got'
The Birds: You'll never find out whatcha got
The Owl: It's whatcha do with whatcha got
All: That pays off in the end 
The Owl: 
You gotta start with whatcha got 
If whatcha got ain't such a lot 
To make the most of whatcha got
Here's what I recommend
You start by a-tryin' and applyin' your best 
The Birds: If you try, there ain't no denyin' 
The Owl: There's a way to feather your nest, Hey!
The Birds: You gotta add how whatcha do 
All:
And multiply by whatcha do 
You think you can't win 
But you do 
And you get that dividend 
The Animals: 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got 
Never mind how much you got 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got 
That pays off in the end 
The Owl: 
It's the means you applieth 
That raises your stock 
Look what David did to Goliath 
With a little old hunk of rock 
The Birds: 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got
And never mind how much you got 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got
That pays off in the end
The Owl: 
Now, looky here, son, stop a-sittin'
Gettin' somewhere takes some gettin' 
You can't sit and 'spect to get it
Now, the road to fame takes muscle 
Lots of work and lots o' hustle
So start right in and hit it 
The Birds: 
Now if at first you don't succeed 
A lot of spunk is what you need
Or someone else will take the lead
So try, try, try again
The Owl: 
Just get up when you fall down 
And don't be forlorn
Look how Joshua busted that wall down 
Will a little old measly horn 
The Birds: 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got
And never mind just how much you got 
It's whatcha do with whatcha got 
That pays off in the end
All: That pays off in the end
