 * Garfield: Look at her, really 

Isn't she neat?

Wouldn't you think my dream is complete?

Wouldn't you think she’s the girl

The girl who has everything?

Look at this dragon

Treasures untold 

How many wonders can one dragon hold? Lookin' around here you'd think (Sure) she's got everything

She’s got great paws and ears aplenty

She’s got sharp teeth and beauty galore

(You want some of her scales? I got like twenty)

''But who cares? No big deal She needs more''

She want to be where the people are

She’s want to see want to see 'em dancin' 

Walkin' around on those (Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - paws, hehe.

Walking around, you don't get too far 

Wings are required for flyin', dancin' 

Strollin' along down the (What's that word again?) clouds

Up where they fly 

Up where they run 

Up where they stay all day in the sun 

Wanderin' free 

Wish she could be 

Part of her world

What would I give If she could live 

''Outta these rules? ''

What would I pay 

To spend a day 

''Riding a dragon? ''

Betcha on the sky 

They understand 

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters 

Bright young women 

Sick o' walkin' 

Ready to fly

And ready to know what the people know 

Ask 'em her questions 

And get some answers 

What's a fire and why does it (What's the word?) burn?

When's it her turn?

Wouldn't she love 

''Love to explore that sky above? ''

Out of the land 

Wishes she could be 

Part of that world...
