I look around the kingdom And see the desperation And the devastation that persists No matter what I do
But today could be the day I finally make a difference And all the grateful citizens Will say to me...
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
Why don't we have enough to eat? Why are we dying in the street? Why does my baby always cry? Why did my mommy have to die?
Mine too Mine too Mine too Mine too Mine too
The answer here Is crystal clear Ja'far, that ugly old vizier He's the reason for our many woes
Though we're upset We shouldn't fret We mustn't let ourselves forget The saying every child raised within the kingdom knows:
You got to dream a little harder When life won't go your way Simply dream a little harder Trust me when I say
That when you dream little harder You're sure to follow through Cause if you're good and you're attractive No need to be proactive Good things will just happen to you
Why is the kingdom plagued by theft? Why are there no more good jobs left? Why does the sun go down at night? Why is everyone in the kingdom white?
Um, Ja'far? Ja'far! Ja'far! Ja'far!
No man who's just Could ever trust A face that triggers such disgust His twisted features give me such a chill
So let us pray That one fine day That evil man will go away 'Cause if we want it bad enough, he will
For if you... ...dream a little harder You'll get what you desire Dream a little harder When things are looking dire
If you dream a little harder Success is guaranteed If you are sure of your intention Some magic intervention Will give you the ansatz you need
I know that I'm no prize I'm not so easy on the eyes I can't rely on looks to get me by
But ugliness permits A man to use his wits Cause pretty people never have to try
I hear the people whisper As I walk about the streets I know they call me Ugly old Ja'far!
What I call planning They call scheming What I call delusion They call dreaming
Why am I the only one Who sees things as they are? Wish a little stronger...
I need six eggs/success (?) Why not buy some? Hope a little bigger...
I want to fly That's unrealistic Think a little louder...
I want to be a cat What? Fuck you
Whistle while you swallow A spoon full of sugar And your dream will come true Upon a star...
Dream hard enough, my friend Ja'far will meet a violent end He could be skewered by a sailing ship
Or hanged in tangled jungle vines Or eaten by hyenas Or he'll plummet to his death From a castle A clock Or a cliff
And if we dream a little harder... Our patience and our honor Will rid us of that ugly old Ja'far! Fuck you!
