Impossible Lyrics by David Burns, Brian Davies

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Original Broadway Cast)

0

[SENEX]
Why did he look at her that way?
[HERO]
Why did he look at her that way?
[SENEX & HERO]
Must be my imagination
[SENEX]
She's a lovely blooming flower, he's just a sprout--
Impossible!
[HERO]
She's a lovely blooming flower, he's all worn out--
Impossible!
[SENEX]
Just a fledgeling in the nest...
[HERO]
Just a man who needs a rest...
[SENEX]
He's a beamish boy at best
[HERO]
Poor old fellow!
[SENEX]
He's a child, and love's a test he's too young to pass--
Impassible!
[HERO]
He has asthma, gout, a wife, lumbago and gas--
Irascible!
[SENEX]
Romping in the nursery...
[HERO]
He looks tired...
[SENEX]
Son, sit on your father's knee
[HERO]
Father, you can lean on me
[SENEX & HERO]
Him? Impossible!
[HERO]
But why did she wave at him that way?
[SENEX]
Why did she wave at him that way?
[SENEX & HERO]
Could there be an explanation?
[HERO]
Women often want a father, she may want mine--
It's possible!
[SENEX]
He's a handsome lad of twenty
I'm...thirty-nine--
It's possible!
[HERO]
Older men know so much more...
[SENEX]
In a way, I'm forty-four...
[HERO]
Next to him, I'd seem a bore
[SENEX]
All right, fifty!
[HERO]
Then again, he is my father;
I ought to trust--
Impossible!
[SENEX]
Then again, with love at my age
Sometimes it's just
Impossible!
[HERO]
With a girl I'm ill at ease...
[SENEX]
I don't feel well...
[HERO]
Sir, about those birds and bees--
[SENEX]
Son, a glass of water, please
[SENEX & HERO]
The situation's fraught
Fraughter than I thought
With horrible, impossible, possibilities!
