Intro

I wanna make a billion dollars

Take Bill Gates out to lunch

Fly out to Las Vegas

Bet it all on just a hunch

Leave my footprint on the moon

Tavern on the green just for two

Take a yacht to the South Seas

Drop in a penny if I please

All of these things I wanna do

(or )

I'd give them all up to be with you

 But I might as well swim the arctic sea

 Then get you to notice me

Whyyyyyyyyy do I try to be part of her world?

Whyyyyyyyyy do I think I can get this girl?

Everybody has to have some kind of thing

 An impossible dream

 An impossible

Just give me a little time

We won't have to compromise

You may not get diamond rings

But I'll give you riches in different things.

The Eiffel tower beneath the stars

The pyramids they would be ours

The Seven Wonders of the World

Would fail to compare if you were my girl.

All of these things they would come true

If somehow I could end up with you

But every time I start to get the nerve

I am at a loss for words

Why do I try to be part of her world?

Why do I think I can get this girl?

Everybody's got to have some kind of thing

An impossible dream

An impossible

If I had just one day with you

 There's nothing that I wouldn't do

 I'd say I love you backwards

 If you asked me to

Then you would see that all along

(or )

That I was meant to be the one

Why do I try to be part of her world?

Why do I think I can get this girl?

Everybody's got to have some kind of thing

An impossible dream

An impossible

Why (wanna make a billion dollars, take Bill Gates out to lunch)

Why (leave my footprint on the moon, bet it all on just a hunch

Everybody's got to have some kind of thing

An impossible dream

An impossible dream.
