Hopey Dopey Doo

Hope is the notion 
to swim across the ocean 
and pray you won't drown
when it gets thick and brown

Hope is that dope
that get you hooked 
when you're goose is cooked
and you’re up against the ropes

Hope things are going well and 
Hope we won't panic 
I've got my beachfront land 
And the best seat on the Titanic!

Hope I get paid
hope I get laid
Hope we get to grope
In the cool grassy shade  

Hope I don't mope
If she says nope 
Hope for no isotopes
In my cantaloupe 

Hope for one, hope for two 
hoping is the dopiest thing to do 
Hope, I sure hope we don’t get screwed
Mostly I hope there’s hope for you

You hope to God
hope to Hope 
Hope the Pope 
doesn't rope-a-dope

Hope in one hand, whizz in the other 
hope that other hand
ain’t the last strand
of your brother  

Hope is what you’re smoking
Hope is what you’re shooting
Hope is what you’re doing
When you should be executing

Hope you have a plan
Hope you follow through
Hope you’re the (wo-)man
Who doesn’t hope in lieu

Hope your slope is up
Hope your time is long
Hope you fill your cup
Hope you finish strong
