Chorus:

Although you're stuck with beans,
There's money in your jeans
When you pretend.
The wolf that's at your door
Is not there anymore
When you pretend.
There's nothing you can't be,
Just wish and see,
The world's your cup of tea,
Some dish, says me.
The happiness you find
Is all of state of mind,
That's true, my friend,
And life is filled with happy endings,
When you pretend.

Half-chorus (from movie):

The world is gonna shine,
Gee whiz, divine...
And things turn out just fine,
She's his, you're mine...
There always comes a time
For wedding bells to chime,
That's true, my friend,
For life is filled with happy endings
When you pretend.
