[Cadaverous Pallor]

I now adore this song. The music is fantastic, just reading the lyrics doesn't do it justice!

Disneyland by Hamlisch and Ashman

Hot Sunday night, I guess the folks were busy fightin’
Joe’d already left home.
11 years old on my own feeling nothing but lonely
There’s nothing to do, nothing out there but the traffic
down on state 93.
So I’d sit through the night
by our old black and white TV.
And that’s when I saw it.
That’s when I heard it.
Calling…calling…me……

Disneyland ...
Magic Kingdom, Disneyland.
Close my eyes real tight,
wishin' hard I might,
wishin’ hard I may
find my way to Disneyland.
Gotta get to Disneyland.
On a western breeze,
magic carpet please,
please carry me away.

Oh, I know you’re gonna say
the trees are paper-mache
it’s done with mirrors
no magic there.
Each little bird’s full of springs
you press a button it sings
recorded music in the air.
They’ve had the mountain refaced
it’s only plywood and paste
go on, say it!
I’ll turn around and tell you
I don’t care!

I don’t care.

I will live in Disneyland.
Make my home in Disneyland.
Maybe it’s all fake
that’s a chance I’ll take
it’s perfectly ok.
Some lucky day
Disneyland
Take me there to
Disneyland
and when I get to Disneyland
I’ll stay!
