Anywhere in Your Dreams

CHOLENA:
Anywhere in your dreams
Anywhere you can imagine
A bright new door is waiting for you to open
You can go anywhere
Anywhere in your dreams

Just close your eyes
You might be surprised
What's inside you

FIEVEL:
Dreams are like steps
It's hard to guess where they'll guide you

CHOLENA:
You can go anywhere in your dreams
Anywhere you can imagine
A bright new door is waiting for you to open
You can go anywhere
Anywhere in your dreams

FIEVEL:
I hope I can find
A dream that's just mine
Someday

CHOLENA:
You might get lost
But your heart will show you the right way

TOGETHER:
And we can go anywhere in our dreams
Anywhere we can imagine
A bright new door is waiting us to open
We can go anywhere
Anywhere
No matter where
We'll get there
We can go anywhere in our dreams

Friends of the Working Mouse

RASPY MOUSE:
My colleagues gather round please
Since you and I all know
That if our mice keep working
Our profit's sure to grow!

DUMB MOUSE:
I really like to see them sweat
It makes me calm and cool

TOPLOFTY:
And while they're grateful for the pay
We're thankful they're poor

ALL:
Friends of the working mouse!

RINGLEADER:
We're such a happy family
Our workers are the best!

DUMB MOUSE:
And while they put in overtime
We'll just take a little rest!

Of their aspirations

Hey ho
The only limit is our imaginations
Heave ho
It's off to work they go
It's their true salvation
Maybe...

DUMB MOUSE:
We really ought to see them here each and every day

RASPY MOUSE:
So even when they need time off we do insist they stay

With their noses to the grindstone since they want to keep their jobs

We keep 'em workin sharp, our mice, while we just act like slobs
