Lyrics[]
Hook Hand:
I'm malicious, mean and scary
My sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my evil look,
And my temper and my hook
I've always yearned to be a concert pianist
Can'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart?
Tickling the ivories 'til they gleam?
Yep, I'd rather be called deadly
For my killer show-tune medley
Thank you!
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream.
Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!
He's got a dream!
Hook Hand:
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem!
Though I do like breaking femurs
You can count me with the dreamers
Like everybody else
I've got a dream!
Big Nose:
I've got scars and lumps and bruises
Plus something here that oozes
And let's not even mention my complexion
But despite my extra toes
And my goiter, and my nose
I really wanna make a love connection
Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowin' in a rowboat down the stream?
Though I'm one disgusting blighter
I'm a lover, not a fighter
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!
Big Nose:
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!
Big Nose:
And I know one day romance will reign supreme!
Though my face leaves people screaming
There's a child behind it, dreaming
Like everybody else
I've got a dream
Thug Chorus:
Toll would like to quit and be a florist
Gunther does interior design
Ulf is into mime
Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits
Killer sews
Fang does little puppet shows
Hook Hand:
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns!
Hook Hand Thug: What about you?
Flynn Rider: I'm sorry, me?
Big Nose Thug: What's your dream?
Flynn Rider: No, no no. Sorry, boys. I don't sing.
Flynn:
I have dreams, like you -- no, really!
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny
On an island that I own
Tanned and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money
Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!
Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!
Rapunzel:
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam!
Thug Chorus:
Yeah!
Rapunzel:
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!
He's got a dream!
They've got a dream!
We've got a dream!
So our diff 'rences ain't really that extreme!
We're one big team...!
Call us brutal--
Sick--
Hook Hand:
Sadistic--
Big Nose:
And grotesquely optimistic
Thug Chorus:
Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!
Hook Hand:
I've got a dream!
Big Nose Thug:
I've got a dream!
Thug Chorus:
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!
All:
(cheers)
Yes way down deep inside,
I've got a dream!
Yeah!
