lyrics

Nothing is impossible for Commodore Impossible
hence the name
hence the joke
hence the cigarette he smokes
sticky lacerations bleed his ears and eyes and tongue away
it's ok; he's not dead; he'll be on tv instead

action figure movie rites cartoon sownd byte

"Here I come to save the day," the Commodore would always say to the crowd standing by (to the girl who caught his eye) leaving in his wake a beer, a cheer, a jeer and the Goodyear blimp.
hurry up; don't be long; I don't wanna miss the song

akshun figure moovy rights car tune snd bite

Mary, au contraire, are you impaired? Didn't you hear? Don't touch my toys.
Meet me after school. I'll be real cool. I'll break the rules. I'm actual
size me up and down

I got mobility ~ I got agility
I got a moving part ~ I can really talk
I got the will to be ~ I got the will to see
I got the will to live ~ I got a lot to give

Calling Commodore Impossible! This is your old friend, Dr. Demonic. I'm standing atop the world — well, the Empire States Building really — and gazing upon the ants scurrying below. But no one really sees me, my genius, my machine gun. I'm sharing this with you and you alone. I've stolen the Hope Diamond. I've hijacked the President's plane. I've stolen a billion DM. I'm opening fire on the crowd. What are ya gonna do?

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my my my my

Mary, au contraire, are you impaired? Didn't you hear?
Don't touch my fucking toys.
Meet me after school. I'll be real cool. I'll break the rules. I'm actual
size me up and down

I got mobility ~ I got agility
I got a moving part ~ I can really talk
I got the will to be ~ I got the will to see
I got the will to live ~ I got a lot to give

I got banality
Artificiality
Inflated physiognomy
Genital conspiracy
But I bring the gavel down
I swing the bat around
I let the flag unfurl
I get to kiss the girl
