I`m gonna grow a moustache, I`m gonna grow a beard
I`ll get some John Lennon glasses, and then I`m gonna act weird
I`ll get flare pants and sandals, and drive an old beat-up car
I`m gonna own a used bookshop, and smoke a nasty cigar
You can`t
I can
No you can`t
Yes I can
You won`t
I will
No you won`t
Yes I will yes I will
And you can`t stop me
Cause I`m gonna be cool
(That`s not cool)
(Yep it is!)
(That`s weird... I`ll tell you what cool is.)
I`m gonna listen to Mozart, I`m gonna listen to Brahms
I`m gonna rent a stretch limo and go to thirty-nine proms
I`m gonna sit in my bathrobe and read Swamp Thing all day
I`m gonna piss off my parents, and tell my girlfriend I`m gay
You can`t!
Yes I can
No you can`t!
Yes I can
You won`t
I will
You will not!
Yes I will yes I will
And you can`t stop me
Cause I`m gonna be cool
It doesn`t matter what you say
It doesn`t matter what they do
We`ll do what we want to do anyway
We`ll do what we want to
Yeah we can both be cool
Even though we`re not the same
I will not be ashamed
Of anything I want to be
Anything we want to do
Anyone we want to be
That`s cool
(and so`s this!)
I`m gonna bench-press Rhode Island and have a thirty inch neck
I`m gonna jump through a doughnut just like they did in Star Trek
I`m gonna go skinny-dipping, but I won`t worry about Jaws
I`ll have a neat healing factor and adamantium claws
Well, you can`t...
Yeah, well, I really can
Well, no, you can`t
No, I can!
(No, I mean, it`s not that it`s not cool, it`s just you can`t have
adamantium claws...)
No, I can I can I can I can I caan!
And you can`t stop me
(OK...)
Cause I`m gonna be cool
(Well, you know, that is pretty cool, Rand, I`ll tell ya,
but so`s this!)
I`m gonna burn my house down and marry Molly Yard
I`m gonna find Michael Jackson and slap him really hard
I`m gonna read all that Shakespeare that they assigned me in school
And then I`ll win at Othello I`m gonna be cool
(What?)
I`m gonna be cool
(Oh.)
We`re gonna be cool!
