lyrics

Pencils can write beautiful words and draw almost anything
Erasers can’t do any of that, but they can sure shed their skin!

Pencil and Eraser,
More different, they couldn’t be
Pencil and Eraser,
Rely on each others ability!

Where would you be?
Without my ability?
Oh, how bad your spelling would be!
Without my ability!
My ability
Is something no one can do just like
Where would you be?
Without my ability!

Erasers always help you to colour in between the lines
Pencils can’t do any of that, but they can sure write the right rhyme

Pencil and Eraser,
More different, they couldn’t be
Pencil and Eraser,
Rely on each others ability!

Where would you be?
Without my ability?
Oh, how bad your spelling would be!
Without my ability!
My ability
Is something no one can do just like
Where would you be?
Without my ability!

Scissors and Sticky Tape and have something only they can do
Light bulbs and venetian blinds, toasters and freezers too
Pencils and erasers rely on each other’s ability
So surely we both have something that can only be done be you or me

Where would you be?
Without my ability?
Oh, how bad your spelling would be!
Without my ability!
My ability
Is something no one can do just like
Where would you be?
Without my ability!
