Lyrics[]

Hook Hand:
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'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart?
Tickling 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.

Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!
He's got a dream!

Hook Hand:
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!

Big Nose:
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
Rowin' 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!

Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!

Big Nose:
I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus:
He's got a dream!

Big Nose:
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

Thug Chorus:
Toll 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

Hook Hand:
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns!


Hook Hand Thug: What about you?
Flynn Rider: I'm sorry, me?
Big Nose Thug: What's your dream?
Flynn Rider: No, no no. Sorry, boys. I don't sing.


Flynn:
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

Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!

Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!

Rapunzel:
I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam!

Thug Chorus:
Yeah!

Rapunzel:
And with every passing hour
I'm so glad I left my tower
Like all you lovely folks
I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus:
She's got a dream!
He's got a dream!
They've got a dream!
We've got a dream!
So our diff 'rences ain't really that extreme!
We're one big team...!
Call us brutal--
Sick--

Hook Hand:
Sadistic--

Big Nose:
And grotesquely optimistic

Thug Chorus:
Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!

Hook Hand:
I've got a dream!

Big Nose Thug:
I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus:
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!

Rapunzel:
I've got a dream!

All:
(cheers)

Yes way down deep inside,

I've got a dream!
Yeah!

He's got a dream
He's got a dream
So old Maximus had better pick up steam

He's got a dream
He's got a dream
And since it's all about the girl, we're on his team

If you're slow or if you waiver
You're never gonna save her
Go on and save the girl and live your...

Dream!

Flynn:
He's malicious, mean and scary
His sneer could curdle dairy
And violence-wise, his hands are not the cleanest
Rapunzel:
But despite his evil look,
And his temper and his hook
He's always yearned to be a concert pianist
Hook Hand:

Yep, I'd rather be called deadly

Chorus:

What's your dream, my little snuggly friend?
Donald:
My dream? I've always wanted to be one of the fellas!

Vladimir:
What about you?
Daisy:
I've always wanted to try new things and make new friends!

Hook Hand:
Those are beautiful dreams.

Donald:
I've got a dream!
Daisy:
I've got a dream!
Everyone:
They've got a dream!
Donald and Daisy:
We've got a dream!

Rapunzel:
So our differences aren't really that extreme!

Donald and Daisy:
We've got a dream!

All:
Yes way down deep inside,

I've got a dream!
Yeah!

I've got a dream!
I've 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!

She's got a dream!
(I've got a dream!)
She's got a dream!
(I've got a dream!)
She wants to see the floating lanterns float and gleam!
(Oh yeah!)

And then with every passing hour
She's so glad she left her tower
Way down deep inside
We've/I've got a dream!
