Lyrics
By roger brown
If you're gonna be famous I know just where you should be Steppin' out on a stage somewhere In the land of opportunity
And if you're gonna be big time Bigger than any mouse short size You ought to be in america And I am gonna tell you why
In america you can steal the hearts See sights that's yet unseen They'll make you famous overnight In america, a mouse's dream
Me father learned a lot in london And one day he told me, "son If you wanna know where the stars are born Well, i, I can tell you where it's done."
Now I'm simply ordinary So I may be where I may be But there's just one place in the whole wide world I know for a mouse like you to be
And that's america where you will find The grass of greener green The fine you'll find is super fine In america, a mouse's dream
Just imagine new york city Just imagine old broadway Don't you wish that you were there right now? Don't you wish that you were on your way?
To america where the streets are of gold Although I've never been I'm sure it's true, 'cause I've been told America's a mouse's dream
Dialog:
A waiter in a white jacket came hurtling towards him, he was about to thread on scouse when scouse noticed that the door beside him was slightly open. he dodged inside and stood still in the room for a moment
"That was a narrow squeak!" In a large bed, covered by a silk quilt, propped up against satin pillows, surrounded by crayons and pieces of paper, dolls, stuffed animals, sat a small girl "Oh, good! you can talk!" "Doesn't it surprise you?" "No, all the animals in my dreams speak." "I'm not a dream, I'm scouse the mouse. I'm going to be famous! I can talk, I can sing, I learnt it from the telly." "You're a dream! you're a dream! you're a dream!"
