Song Lyrics

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't ya see me on the stage performin' Mozart
Ticklin' 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

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

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
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

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

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

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

I've got a dream (she's got a dream)
I've got a dream (she's got a dream)
I just wanna 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

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
Call us brutal, sick, sadistic
And grotesquely optimistic
'Cause way down deep inside
We'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
I've got a dream
Woo, woo, woo, woo
Yes, way down deep inside
I've got a dream
Yeah
