Original Broadway Cast - Butter Outta Cream

Two little mice of
great renown
fell in some milk and
one proceded to drown
The other one's still the
toast of the town
'Cause he made butter
out of cream
He looked around
deduced his plight
Said this is no way
to spend a Saturday night
Yet he had the style to
make things right
So he made butter
out of cream
He kicked his legs up he
tossed and turned
So not to end up a ghost
He did the hokey pokey
till the cream was churned
And baby he walked right
out and buttered his toast
Now he's on top for
goodness sakes
Yeah he's the big cheese
up at land o' lakes
He's living proof that pop all
it takes is a scheme
So if you live in the gutter
just make butter out of cream
There was a cockroach
from Brazil
Got drunk at his local
coffee mill
He thought his time was
up until
He made coffee out of beans
When he came to he heard
such a sound
Much to his shock when
he looked around
He had been scooped and
was about to be ground
So he made coffee
out of beans
He marched to south and
he stomped to the north
He had to race against fate
He did the cuckarocha until
the sweat came forth
And seniore things began
to purcolate
He held his breath and swam
to the top
He borrowed beans from
his mom and pop
and opened up his own
coffee shop
down in queens
When his lights were
almost off he
just made coffee out of beans
So think of those two when
life's the pits
the bug and the mouse at the
end of their wits
They knew the key to life was
that it's what you dream
So if lemons clog your sink up
Don't just stand around
and scream
Spike some lemonade
and drink up
And make butter out of cream
Just make butter out of cream
make some butter out of cream
butter out of cream
