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, two

One for me, one for you

Tthere'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?! Ah, it'll never work

Oh, ye of little faith

What did Lewis say to Clark

When everything looked bleak?

What did Sir Edmund say

To Tenzing as they struggled

Toward Everest peak?

What did 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

Carressing you, undressing you

And driving you mad

No

Bloom, Bloom

Wait a minute now

Hear me out

Just think about it

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 petty 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

Whadaya say, Bloom?

What do I say, finally a chance

To be a Broadway producer

What do I say, finally 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 miserable

Cowardly wretched

Little caterpillar

Don't you ever want

To become a butterfly?

Don't you want

To spread your wings

And flap your way to glory?

No

We can do it

We can do it

We can grab

That holy grail

We can do it

We can do it

Drink champagne

Not ginger ale

Come on Leo

Don't you see-o

Mr. Bialystock

Please stop this song

You've got me wrong

I'll say so long

I'm not as strong

A person as you think

Mr Bialystock

Please take a look

I'm not a crook

I'm just a schmuck

The bottom line is that

I say

I can't do it

You see Rio, I see jail

Driver stop, here

We can do it

I can't do it

We can do it

I can't do it

We can do it

I can't do it

We can do it

I can't do it

We can

I cannot, cannot, cannot

Cannot, cannot, cannot do it

'Cos I know, it's gonna fail

Fail? How can it miss

All you need is a little courage

Bloom, don't you realise

There's a lot more to you

Than there is to you?
