I took a giant step!

I'm mighty proud of me.

Today, I am the man

I had to be.

Those apron strings at last are cut.

It's like I grew some wings

And flew out of my Oedipal rut.

I leaped a giant leap!

I made the winning play.

It ain't July, but hey,

It's Independence Day!

No more "Sonny Boy",

It's "Mister Albert P."

I took a giant step,

A self reliant step,

A brave defiant step and I'm free!

I climbed a giant peak,

A daring thing to do.

I'm way up high, oh Rosie,

What a view!

I see the future and it's bright.

It's no more "Mama anything you say"

From morning till night.

I took a giant step!

A wimpy kid no more,

You never saw a turnaround like this before.

It's just one small step for mankind.

But for me,

It was a forceful step, a most resourceful step,

A bold and brassy step,

A sassy, classy step,

A self reliant step,

A brave defiant step.

I took a giant step

And I'm free
