Impossible; It’s Possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
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-de-rol and fiddle-dee-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 dewy-eyed dopеs
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things arе happening every day
Impossible
[CINDERELLA]
Impossible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
Impossible
[CINDERELLA]
Impossible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
Impossible
[CINDERELLA]
Impossible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER & CINDERELLA]
Impossible
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Impossible things are happening every day
Is that true, Godmother?
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Well, yes, I suppose so, in a way
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Then I continue to build my impossible hope for tonight
And I officially wish—
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Officially wish?
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
I officially wish and wish and wish
All those things I said about the pumpkin and the mice and the rats
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Impossible
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Just the same, I'm wishing it
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
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
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
They will!
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
Such fol-de-rol and fiddle-dee-dee of course is
Impossible
[CINDERELLA]
But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don't believe in sensible rules
And won’t believe what sensible people say
[FAIRY GODMOTHER & CINDERELLA]
And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening every day
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Look!
Oh, Godmother
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
I had to do it, I had to do it
You wished for it so hard, I just had to do it
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Oh, oh, Godmother, what a beautiful dress
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Oh, this old thing
It's eight-hundred-and-thirty-two years old
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Oh, but where are you going?
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Why, I'm going to take you to the ball
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Oh, oh, but I have nothing to wear
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Who says you haven't? Look at yourself
[CINDERELLA, spoken]
Oh, how beautiful!
[FAIRY GODMOTHER, spoken]
Come on, now, the ball will be over before you get there
[CINDERELLA]
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
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
And four white mice are easily turned to horses
[CINDERELLA]
Such fol-de-rol and fiddle-dee-dee of course is
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
Quite possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER & CINDERELLA]
It's possible
[CINDERELLA]
For the world is full of zanies and fools
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
Who don't believe in sensible rules
[CINDERELLA]
And won’t believe what sensible people say
[FAIRY GODMOTHER & CINDERELLA]
And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happening every day
[CINDERELLA]
It’s possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
It's possible
[CINDERELLA]
It’s possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
It's possible
[CINDERELLA]
It's possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER]
It's possible
[FAIRY GODMOTHER & CINDERELLA]
It’s possible
