At the World's Fair in St.Louis
The ice cream man ran out of cups
The waffle man spoke up
Hey! I've got an idea!
Let's bend my waffle in a cone shape
And put your ice cream in the top
And lick it like a lollipop, hey!
That's got potential!"

Kids everywhere were celebrating
Saying. "That's incredible!
This dessert is fascinating
'Cause the dish is edible!"

The world went nuts for cones and ice cream
The greatest thing since apple pie
Because two open minds
Saw its potential

When inventions are created
They are often accidents
Mistakes that graduated —
Just ask Thomas Edison!

So, kids, remember cones and ice cream
As a happy happenstance.
Then go and take your chance
Cause you've got potential
Let your ideas dance
You've got potential
By the seat of their pants!
You've got potential
Give all your dreams a chance!
You've got potential!
