I Think I Can Play This Part

Lyrics

Tell me how'd ya like to be my kid
 Does that really sound so bad?
 Mark this down, I'm putting in my bid
 Lucky you
 Are one of the few
 Who get to chose their dad
 ♪
 What you're looking for
 Is the stand-up, steadfast type
 Who's rugged strong yet sensitive and kind
 But a leading man
 With a sentimental stripe
 Plus charisma
 Is always hard to find
 Does that sound like anyone we know?
 Anyone we've met?
 Who can we get?
 I think I can play this part
 Though no one's ever got it right before
 I've a new interpretation
 And a lot of motivation
 And I seem to know my lines by heart
 I'm sure I can play this part
 You've been holding out
 For a white knight on a steed
 Who's dashing, handsome, filled with warmth and wit
 Who can make you laugh
 Sense of humor guaranteed
 Plus an ego
 And a smile that doesn't quit
 Can this world-class paragon be found?
 And who can he be?
 Sounds just like me
 I think I can play this part
 It's one that I've prepared for all my life
 I'll approach it with devotion
 Understanding and emotion
 Say the word 'cause I can't wait to start
 I'm sure I can play this part
 I'm a quick study
 And I love to rehearse
 And I feel a strong connection
 Tell me what you need from me
 I can take direction
 I'm burning to play this part
 And no one's ever longed to play it more
 It's a role that I'm so right for
 That I'm willing to fight for
 We can both create a work of art
 And I promise to stay for the run of the play
 I know I can play this part
