Song and lyrics[]

Maybe_This_Dream_-_feat._Donna_Lynne_Champlin_-_"Crazy_Ex-Girlfriend"

Lyrics:

Paula:
When I was a little girl
I felt like a princess
So naive and full of hope
I thought my dreams
would come true
But then as I grew
The world was all like
[laughing] NOPE !
But this time, maybe...

Maybe this dream
Won't lead to disgrace!
Maybe this dream
Is in reach!

Maybe this dream
Won't poop on my face!
Like at a seagull
At the beach!

Maybe this dream
Won't be like my wedding
The organ played
"There goes the bride"!
I came back.

Maybe this dream
Won't be like some maggots
Feasting on the rotting
Deer carcass of my pride!

Ah-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!

Maybe this dream
Won't be like my vibrator
Breaking when I need it most!

Tim:
Tweedle-deedle-dee!

Maybe this dream
Won't be like Ebola
Eating the flesh of its host!

Jim:
Tweedle-deedle-doo!

Paula:
Maybe this dream
Won't be like when I go running
And I have to take a dump
So I have to rush home
Plus I also have my period
So I have menstrual cramps
Plus dump cramps
And as I run frantically
I pee just a little
Because I've had two babies
So by the time I get home
My undies smell like
A sewer rat!

Maybe this dream
Won't be like that!

Maybe this dream
Will finally make me feel
Like I deserve!

A dream!

[sighs]
