We Can Do It Lyrics - Singles - The Producers

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? Nah, that'd 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's 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 

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 petty clerk 

Hi, Producer, yes, Producer 

I mean you, sir, go beserk 

We can do it, we can do it 

And I know it's gonna work 

Whatta ye 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 

Cashing 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? 

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, can't you see oh 

Mr. Bialystock, please stop the song 

You've got me wrong, I'll say, "So long" 

I'm not as strong a person as you think 

Mr. Bialystock, just take a look 

I'm not a crook, I'm just a shnook 

The bottom line is that I stink, I can't do it 

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 it cannot fail 

(It's gonna fail)
