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!)
