You're Impossible
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Emma:
'Cos if I were his nephew
Instead of his niece
I promise I'd give you
Much more than a piece
Of my mind!
Dolittle:
How unkind!
Emma:
The way you treat people...
Dolittle:
I don't - I treat animals!
Emma:
You treat people like animals!
It's most unrefined!
Dolittle:
The blind leading the blind!
Polynesia:
I know!
Emma:
If I had to pick the worst person I've met
I'd say you are!.....yes, you are!
Dolittle:
If you'll pardon me, madam
Mistaken again!
Because you are!
Emma:
Oh no, you are!
Dolittle:
Why don't we just say
That we two are......
Incompatible, that is!
Emma:
Incompatible!?
Polynesia:
Yes, incompatible!
Polynesia:
Hah!
Emma:
Hah!
Emma:
You're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...
Dolittle:
When will you outgrow
All this rage you show?
That you think I'm so...
Both:
Impossible to tolerate!
Dolittle:
You're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...
Emma:
It is hard to see
Why you choose to be
Quite so vile to me!
Both:
Impossible to contemplate!
Emma:
Who are you to judge?
You don't know me, sir!
But I sense a grudge
In your every slur!
Dolittle:
No, I bear no grudge!
That's a dream you dreamt!
All I bear for you's
Complete contempt!
Polynesia:
Contempt!
Emma:
Oh, you're impossible!...
Impossible!...
Impossible!...
Dolittle:
And that well may grow!
For deep down I know
Folk like you are so...
Both:
Impossible to educate!
Emma:
There's a thousand miles between us!
Dolittle:
Which will always be uncrossable!
Emma:
You're impossible!
Dolittle:
No, you're impossible!
Both:
Oh, you're impossible!
Emma:
You're despicable!...
Despicable!...
Despicable!...
Dolittle:
There you go again!-
Like some clucking hen!
Clearly, you hate men!
Both:
Your attitude is terrible!
Dolittle:
Inexplicable!...
Despicable!...
Despicable!...
Emma:
I won't be dismissed
Like I don't exist!
You... misogynist!
Both:
You really are unbearable!
Emma:
Mmen like you are bores!
Self-indulgent fools!
Dull as dinosaurs!
Full of pompous rules!
Dolittle:
And I must despise
Women such as you!
Who just criticise!
What you...can't do!
Emma:
Oh, that's just terrible!...
You're terrible!...
Unbearable!...
Dolittle:
So it's clear to me
You were born to be
A catastrophe!...
Both:
Completely unrepairable!
Emma:
And that gaping void between us
Will forever be uncrossable!
Dolittle:
You are arrogant and bossy!
And I choose to be unbossable!
Emma:
We're a classical example...
Dolittle:
Of the art of what's not possible!
Emma:
You're impossible!
Dolittle:
No, you're impossible!
Both:
Impossible!
Matthew:
You know somethin'?
You're both impossible!
