Link will expire in 7 days
All my life I have been searching for that fabled promised land,
With my sisters and my brothers, we shall walk there hand-in-hand.
Through the trials and tribulations, and the devil’s cruel temptations
I know that we’ll all get there one day!
After years and years of wandering, oh, the kingdom we shall find
and the doors might not be open, but we’ll gather in the line.
And our hearts will swell with pride the day those gates swing open wide
and we take a walk down Main Street, USA!
Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
We will all be there together by and by!
We will all drink from the fountain and go riding on Space Mountain
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
When Mother Minnie and Uncle Dopey and Saint Tinkerbell abide,
There’ll be no more cares or sorrow on that heavenly Teacup Ride.
I will lay down all my fears when I put on those big black ears,
and join the choir to sing harmony!
We will sing the song of aimless souls, who once had gone astray –
Who were lost but now are found in the Electric Light Parade
Singing Hakuna Matata, growing Mouseketeer stigmata
In the only club that’s made for you and me!
Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
We will all be there together by and by!
All God’s children shall be free in Pirates of the Caribbean
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
Oh, the meekest and the poorest their inheritance shall see,
and a zillion Japanese tourists all will join the jamboree.
They will ride that holy Monorail into sweet providence
When they know their redeemer is a mouse in short red pants!
(Nice pants!)
Won’t you take me to Orlando where the sun is shining bright?
All the angels are clean-shaven and the people snowy white.
Where your problems are all hidden and unhappiness forbidden,
You will find salvation for a modest fee!
Climb in my Winnebago and if you will help with the gas,
Then maybe we can finagle you a five or six day pass.
May your afterlife be blessed – just American Express it;
Let Master Card and Visa set you free!
Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the Sky
We will all be there together, by and by!
All religions may be practiced there,
Except for Southern Baptist
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the Sky!
Manufactured by that Uncle Walter guy!
We’ll give thanks to that old geezer and we’ll keep him in the freezer
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the… sky!
