We Can Do It

Don't you see, Bloom, darling Bloom, glorious Bloom? It's so simple Step one! We find the worst play ever written Step two! We hire the worst director in town Step three! I raise two million dollars Two? Yes, one for me, one for you There's a lot of little old ladies out there Step four! We hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway And before you can say Step five We close on Broadway, take our two million, and go to Rio! Rio? Naw, that'd never work Oh, ye of little faith! What did Lewis say to Clark when everything looked bleak? What'd Sir Edmund to Tenzing as they struggled toward Everest Peak? What'd Washington say to his troops, as they crossed the Delaware? I'm sure you're well aware What'd they say? We can do it, we can do it We can do it, me and you We can do it We can do it! We can make our dreams come true! Everything you've ever wanted is just waiting to be had Beautiful girls wearing nothing but pearls Caressing you, undressing you, and driving you mad We can do it! We can do it This is not the time to shirk We can do it; you won't rue it Say, "Goodbye!" to Betty Clerk Hi Producer, yes, Producer I mean you, sir, go berserk! We can do it, we can do it And I know it's gonna work What'd you say, Bloom? What do I say? Find me the chance to be a Broadway producer What do I say? Find me a chance to make my dreams come true, sir What do I say? What do I say? Here's what I say to you, sir I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it, that's not me I'm a loser, I'm a coward I'm a chicken, don't you see? When it comes to wooing women There's a few things that I lack Beautiful girls wearing nothing but pearls, Chasing me, embracing me, I'd have an attack Why you little miserable, cowardly wretched little caterpillar Don't you ever wanna become a butterfly? Don't you wanna spread your wings and flap your way to glory? We can do it (Mr. Bialystock) We can do it (Please stop this song, you've got me wrong) We can grab that Holy Grail! (I'll say so long, I'm not as strong a person as you think) We can do it (Mr. Bialystock) We can do it! (Please take a look) Drink champagne, not ginger ale (I'm not a crook, I'm just a shmook. The bottom line is that I say) Come on, Leo! (I can't do it) Can't you see-O? You see Rio, I see jail! We can do it! I can't do it! We can do it! I cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot do it, 'cause I know it's gonna fail We can do it; I know that we cannot fail! (It's gonna fail!)
