Butter Outta Cream

Lyrics

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!
