Try not to think, try to behave
Try not to think, I'll think of takin' a bath
In a drippie old tub going clink, clink, clink, clink

But when I think of that clinkity clink
I see fish swimming by in our school
Hey, maybe this tub is McElligot's Pool

This might be a pool
Like I've read of in books
Connected to one of
Those underground brooks

An underground river
That starts here and flows
Right under this bathtub
And then who knows

It's possible
Anything's possible

It might go along down
Where no one can see
Right under state highway
Two hundred and three

Right under the wagons
Right under the toes
Of Mrs. Umbroso
Who's hanging out clothes

It's possible
Anything's possible

This might be a river now mightn't it be
Connecting McElligot's Pool with the sea
Then maybe some fish might be swimming
Swimming toward me

Ah, it's possible, it's possible
Ah, it's possible, it's possible

Oh, the sea is so full of a number of fish
If a fellow is patient, he might get his wish
And that's why I think that I'm not such a fool
When I sit here and fish in McElligot's pool

It's possible
(It's possible, it's possible)
Anything's possible

It's possible.
(It's possible, it's possible)
Anything's possible
It's possible
Anything's possible
