Impossible/It's Possible

by Rodgers and Hammerstein

Impossible,
for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage.
Impossible,
for a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage,
And four white mice will never be four white horses!
Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is--- Impossible!

But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say.
And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep building up impossible hopes,
Impossible things are happening every day.

Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!
Impossible!

It's Possible!
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage!
It's Possible!
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage!

And four white mice are easily turned to horses!
Such fol-der-ol and fid-dle-dy dee of course, is
Quite Possible! It's possible!

For the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won't believe what sensible people say

And because these daft and dewey-eyed dopes keep
building up Impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening every day!

It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Possible!
It's Poss-i-ble!
