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?
