[Intro]
Yo, this is Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet!, by Theo LeSeig, and I'm gonna rap this book

[Verse 1]
Yo, want to be a ticket taker?
Want to be a pizza maker?
Lobsterman, Jockey, TV fixer, ballet dancer, soda mixer
Do you want to be an astronaut or keeper of the zoo?
You've got to do something; what do you want to do?

[Verse 2]
Tailor, sailor, nailer, jailer
You've gotta be someone sooner or later
How about a wrestler, a writer, or a waiter?
How about a dentist, how about a florist?
How about a forester working in a forest?
Or, do you wish to be an oil refiner?
Diamond miner, dress designer?
How about a paper hanger?
How about a bass drum banger?

[Verse 3]
Do you want to do your work outdoors? Do you want to work inside?
Would you like to be a plumber, a policeman, or a bride?
Would you rather work in a mountain town or in the desert lower down?
Pet shop owner, money loaner, how about a slide tromboner?
How about a perfume smeller?
How about a fortune teller?
You could be a turkey farmer; you could be a teacher
You could be a lot of things; how about a preacher?
You could be a clown or a coffee perker
How about an iron worker?
Fireman, tireman, telephone wireman
Some girls make good picture framers
Some girls make good lion tamers
Some guys make good typerope walkers
And other guys are better talkers
[Chorus]
Maybe you should fly a jet, yeah
Maybe you should be a vet

[Verse 4]
How about a deep-sea diver?
How about a beehive hiver?
Would you like to be an actor?
Would you like to run a tractor?
Like to drive a taxicab, yeah
Or run a big computer lab?

[Verse 5]
Tennis pro—optometrist, hockey pro—podiatrist
Chemist, lepidopterist
Glass blower, mushroom grower
How about a fishbone boner or a roller coaster owner?
Would you sooner be a ballooner or a great piano tuner?
Olympic champion, mountain glide? It's not easy to decide
You've got to be someone; you can't just be a doodler
You could be a sculptor or perhaps a noodle noodler

[Verse 6]
You might be a mystery guy
Would you like to be a spy?
Maybe you should be a vester, a jester, or a hammock tester
And maybe you should be a voice
Someday, you must make a choice
Maybe you should be a FOICE
[Outro]
When you find out what a FOICE is
You can tell us what your choice is
