[CLADWELL] I saw gray skies, foreboding and cold! I saw gray skies and made them rain gold! Now those skies aren't so bleak to behold! They're still gray But they pay for your sal'ries tenfold! I took this town that formerly stank I took this town and made it smell swank! I made flushing mean flush at the bank! I'm the man with the plan And so who should you thank? [MCQUEEN] Whom? [Chorus & (CLADWELL)] Mister Cladwell (Who, me?) We're so thankful (Oh, no) For that bank full of dough! You're a toreador And it's cash that you gore! Could we hope for much more? We really doubt it! [CLADWELL] You may be right there! [Chorus] Mister Cladwell You've got riches Which is just what we need! We say hail to you, the Duke of the ducats! [CLADWELL] I can bring in bucks by the buckets! [Chorus] You're the master You're making money! [CLADWELL] Faster still than bees making honey! [Chorus] You're Mister Cladwell! [HOPE, spoken] Gosh Daddy, I never realized large, monopolizing corporations could be such a force for good in the world. [CLADWELL, spoken] Few do [MCQUEEN] All those coins that we take from the throng End up here where those coins all belong Lots of coins make our company strong! [CLADWELL] Charging fees as we please Is our right - it's not wrong! [MCQUEEN] We're not greedy as some make us seem We need funds for our big research team [DR. BILLEAUX] Men in lab coats and test tubes with steam! [CLADWELL & MCQUEEN] What it shows No one knows But, hey, still we can dream! [MCQUEEN] Of! [Chorus & (HOPE)] Mister Cladwell (Dad! That's my Daddy!) Finding answers (Da da, da da daddy!) Curing cancers of doubt! (That's my dad!) Your ambitions are high (Daddy, daddy) But you're humble as pie! (That's my daddy) What a wonderful guy! (And I) We simply love you! (Simply love you!) [CLADWELL] You're making me blush now! [Chorus] Mister Cladwell You're so godly! Oddly perfect and right! [MEN] You are continental, yet unpretentious! [WOMEN] Fancy-free, yet so conscientious! [MEN] Wise but trendy, tough as a mountain! [Chorus] Goodness flows from you like a fountain! You're Mister, you're Mister - [CLADWELL & (Chorus)] Cladwell! (Cladwell!)
