Remember that story I learned at your feet

Well, now it's my turn, take a seat

Two little mice of great renown

Fell in some milk and one proceeded 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"

But 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 'til 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 land in the gutter, just make butter out of cream

It's your turn, Dad

Nah, you're doing great

Oh, no, this, this is a duet

It's Frank and Dean, it's not a solo act

Well, you know, there is one I haven't told ya (oh, really?)

There was a cockroach in 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 the south and he stomped to the north

He had to race against fate

He did the cucaracha while those tears poured forth

And señor, things began to percolate

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

Let's bring this one home, dad

You got it, son

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 (I hear what you're saying, son)

I'll make butter out of cream

Swing it!

- It's already the end -
