Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Can't you see me on the stage performin' Mozart?
Tickling the ivories till they bleed?
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
[Chorus]
He's got a dream
He's got a dream
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
[Verse 3]
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 want to make a love connection
[Verse 4]
Can't you see me with a special little lady
Rowing 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
[Chorus]
I've got a dream (He's got a dream)
I've got a dream (He's got a dream)
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
[Bridge]
Tor 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
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
I've got a dream (She's got a dream)
I've got a dream (She's got a dream)
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks
I've got a dream
[Chorus]
She's got a dream (He's got a dream)
They've got a dream, we've got a dream
So our differences ain't really that extreme
We're one big team
[Chorus]
Call us brutal
Sick
Sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream
[Outro]
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
I've got a dream
[Outro]
Yes, way down deep inside, I've got a dream
Yeah
