Disney Lyrics

Is it just me, or is some of the best poetry from the past hundred years coming from Disney?

Like this song...

Look out! Look out!
Pink elephants on parade
Here they come!
Hippety hoppety
They're here and there
Pink elephants ev'rywhere
Look out! Look out!
They're walking around the bed
On their head
Clippety cloppety
Arrayed in braid
Pink elephants on parade
What'll I do? What'll I do?
What an unusual view!
I could stand the sight of worms
And look at microscopic germs
But technicolor pachyderms
Is really much for me
I am not the type to faint
When things are odd or things
are quaint
But seeing things you know that ain't
Can certainly give you an awful fright!
What a sight!
Chase 'em away!
Chase 'em away!
I'm afraid need your aid
Pink elephants on parade!
Pink elephants!
Pink elephants!

Silly, yes, but the rhythm and everything is so singable, even WITHOUT seeing the movie. Yes, it sounds drug-induced, but that's what it sounds like. And yet, there's something so innately poetic about it...

Yeah. Me? Insane??? NEVER! XD

YO!!!!!

That is an incredible idea! I LOVE IT!

SNOINK IS AWESOME FOR LAUNCHING THIS THREAD TO SEE WHO CAN WRITE THE NEXT DISNEY SONG< YAAAAAAAAA!! HOORAY!

Ok, but ummmm..... What is the topic of the song? Can I choose the first topic? If so, I choose.....

ummmmmm.....

Let

Me

See.

Oh I know, how about... no wait that's stupid...... How aboooouuuuut,

um.

Give me a minute.

How.... a..... bout.... A girl. YEAH! thats it. A GIRL!

But not just any girl, a magical girl. YEAH, a magical girl that has magical powers. (Oh man this is getting better by the second.)

*Sweet.*

A magical girl that has magical powers and......

um.

She uses... the powers.... to

um

TEACH HER PET DOG HOW TO DANCE!!!!!

SWEET! That is TOTALLY f'n hot. A magical girl uses her magical powers to teach her pet dog how to dance!

Does anyone want to play? Snoink, you started this thread, it is your decision. Do you want us all to see who can write the best disney song about a magical girl that uses her magical powers to teach her pet dog how to dance? Well... Do ya?

I'll pass on that one, thanks.

But yeah, you're right, 'Rina. Disney rocks my socks.

Ok, if no body wants to play the game, then I vote for "kiss the girl"

it is the best description of a male humbled by beauty.... if there ever is such a thing.

For Slick Jimmy:

There you see her
Sitting there across
The way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something
About her

And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she want you, too
There is one way to ask her

It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, my oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, ain't that sad
Ain't it a shame, too bad
He gonna miss the girl

Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy, you better do it soon
No time will be better

She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You wanna kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, float along
And listen to the son
The song say kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, the music play
Do what the music say
You gotta kiss the girl

You've gotta kiss the girl
Oh, don't you wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and
Kiss the girl

No the best is these three.

Song: I'm Looking Out for Me Lyrics
That's it!
I've had it!
I hate to be dramatic,
But it's time for me to fly the coop
Terrific!
Fine!
I'm drawin' the line
Before I wind up in a parrot soup!
I was a fool to let you run the show
I'm cuttin' ya loose, pal!
Look out below!
Arrividerci!
C'est la vie!
Hope all goes well!
I'm lookin' out for me!

Okay! I'm little,
Been playin' tank and fiddle,
And I don't get no respect
I turn the other cheek,
But this busted beak
Is the only thanks that I get!
I never found a friend that I can trust
They promise caviar,
And leave me eatin' dust!
That's some reward for loyalty
From here on in,
I'm lookin' out for me!
Oh, I don't need nobody else
I'll never fail
I'll cover my own tail
I can take care of myself!

You know, it just don't pay
To give a hoot
I'm givin' all my heart
What do I get?
Da boot!
I'm through wit' dat,
I'm flappin' free
From here on in,
I'm lookin' out for me!

Artist: Brad Kane Lyrics
Song: One Jump Ahead Lyrics
[Aladdin:] Gotta keep
One jump ahead of the breadline
One swing ahead of the sword
I steal only what I can't afford
( That's Everything! )

One jump ahead of the lawmen
That's all, and that's no joke
These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

[Crowd:] Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!

[Aladdin:] Just a little snack, guys
[Crowd:] Rip him open, take it back, guys
[Aladdin:] I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You're my only friend, Abu!
[Crowd:] Who?
Oh it's that Aladdin's hit the bottom.
He's become a one-man rise in crime
I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes
One skip ahead of my doom
Next time gonna use a nom de plume
One jump ahead of the hitmen
One hit ahead of the flock
I think I'll take a stroll around the block

[Crowd:] Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

[Aladdin:] Let's not be too hasty
[Lady:] Still I think he's rather tasty
[Aladdin:] Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat
Otherwise we'd get along
[Crowd:] Wrong!

[Aladdin:] One jump ahead of the hoofbeats
(Vandal!)
One hop ahead of the hump
(Street rat!)
One trick ahead of disaster
(Scoundrel!)
They're quick, but I'm much faster
(Take that!)
Here goes, better throw my hand in
Wish me happy landin'
All I gotta do is jump

Artist: Jerry Orbach and Chorus Lyrics
Song: Are You In or Out? Lyrics
[SA'LUK:]
I remember a time
When crime was sublime
There was plenty of loot in the lair
We'd plunder and pillage
And ransack a village
With nary a worry or care
Then along came this king
With his soft-hearted dream
But he ratted us out in the end,
So rally the troops!
We were meant to regroup
And return to our roots once again!
Are you in or out?
Gotta know without a doubt
I'm the one you need for a dirty deed
I'm the best, success is guaranteed
Are you men or mice?
Take a slice of my advice!
You want a fearless leader, one that's strong and stout?
Better vote for me
Are you in or out?

[THIVES:]
We used to be smart, yes,
Horrendously heartless
In ravaging raids, we were rough
We knew what we had
To be blissfully bad;
Then Cassim brought this sensitive stuff!
And we strayed from the path
Of our rigorous wrath;
Now we're taking a bath in the dust!
But we'll reclaim our winnings,
Our humble beginnings,
In turmoil and torture we trust!

[SA'LUK:]
Are you in or out?
Double-crossers or devout?
Put your faith in me,
Pretty soon you'll see
I'm the prince of generosity
Are you foe or friend?
Here's the path I recommend
You want a ride to fame?
I've got the fastest route;
What's it gonna be?
Are you in or out?

[THIEVES:]
We'll go robbing in all the right places,
From Agrabah dunes to Bali
Imagine the fear on their faces
When we drop by for cookies and tea

[SA'LUK:]
Come along, boys!
Follow me!
Are you in or out?
If you're with me, give a shout (YAY!)
I'll lead you all the way,
Into the glory days

[THIEVES:]
We'll begin a life of crime that pays
Are you out or in?
Make your choice now, sink or swim!

[SA'LUK:]
You can stick with me, or stay behind and pout
What's it gonna be?
Consider carefully.
Are you in or out?


All Alladin you notice those movies rock my socks off.

Hehe, this is fun--I finally get to share my hoarded song lyrics!
Aladdin is deffinately, if not my favorite than in the top five--didn't like the sequels, though....

Anyway, Hunchback of Notre Dame is another one I really love, so here:

Crowd:
Come one, come all!
Leave your looms and milking stools
Coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all!
Close the churches and the schools
It’s the day for breaking rules
Come and join the feast of…

Clopin:
Fools!
Once a year we throw a party here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Everyman’s a king and every king’s a clown
Once again it’s Topsy Turvy Day

It’s the day the devil in us gets released
It’s the day we mock the prig and shock the priest
Everything is Topsy Turvey
At the Feast of Fools!

Crowd:
Topsy Turvy!

Clopin:
Everything is upsy daisy!

Crowd:
Topsy Turvy!

Clopin:
Everyone is acting crazy
Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet
That’s the way on Topsy Turvy Day!

All:
Topsy Turvy!

Clopin :
Beat the drums and blow the trumpets!

All: Topsy Turvy!

Clopin:
Join the bums and knaves and strumpets
Streaming in from Chartres to Calais
Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy
On the sixth of Janu-very
All because it’s Topsy Turvy Day!

Come one, come all!
Hurry, hurry here’s your chance
She the myst’ry and romance
Come one, come all
See the finest girl in France
Make an entrance to entrance
Dance la Esmeralda…Dance!


Here it is, the moment you’ve been waiting for
Here it is, you know exactly what’s in store
Now’s the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now’s the time we crown the King of Fools!
(You all remember last year’s king)
So make a face that’s horrible and frightening
Make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle’s wing
For the face that’s ugliest will be the King of Fools!
Why?

Crowd:
Topsy Turvy!

Clopin:
Ugly folks, forget your shyness…

Crowd:
Topsy Turvy

Clopin:
You could soon be called Your Highness!

Crowd:
Put your foulest features on display
Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day!


Clopin:
Everybody!

Crowd: Clopin:
Once a year we throw a party
Here in town Hail to the king!
Once a year we turn all Paris
Upside down Oh, what a king!
Once a year the ugliest
Will wear a crown Girls, give a kiss
Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day! We’ve never had a king like this



Clopin and Crowd:
And it’s the day we do the things that we deplore
On the other three hundred and sixty-four
Once a year we love to drop in
Where the beer is never stoppin’
For the chance to pop some popinjay
And pick a king who put the “top”
In Topsy Turvy Day!
Mad and crazy, upsy-daisy,
Topsy Turvy Day!


And, yeah, Clopin totally rocks. Hunchback of Notre Dame should have been called "Clopin's Movie."

Gry, I LOVE that movie and can't help singing along XD

I adore Hunchback of Notre Dame. Topsy Turvy's all right. I love A Guy Like You, though. That one's so fun to sing along with.

The main theme is gorgeous. I love the choir and the bells combo. It's just... ooh... yummy... gives me the goosebumps.

For Areida, then :

Bells of Notre Dame

Clopin:
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame.
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame,
To the big bells as loud as the thunder,
To the little bells soft as a psalm,
And some say the soul of the city’s
The toll of the bells,
The bells of Notre Dame.

Listen, they’re beautiful, no?
So many colors of sound,
So many changing moods,
Because you know, they don’t ring all by themselves,
- --They don’t? –
No, silly boy.
Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower
Lives the mysterious bell ringer.
Who is this creature? – Who? –
What is he? – What? –
How did he come to be there? – How? –
Hush, and Clopin will tell you.
It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster.

Dark was the night when our tale was begun
On the docks near Notre Dame

Man 1:
Shut it up, will you!

Man 2:
We’ll be spotted!

Gypsy:
Hush, little one.

Clopin:
Four frightened gypsies slid silently under
The docks near Notre Dame

Man 3:
Four guilders for safe passage into Paris

Clopin:
But a trap had been laid for the gypsies,
And they gazed up in fear and alarm
At a figure whose clutches
Were iron as much as the bells

Man 4:
Judge Claude Frollo!

Clopin:
The bells of Notre Dame

Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Clopin:
Judge Claude Frollo longed
To purge the world
Of vice and sin

Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Clopin:
And he saw corruption
Ev’rywhere except
Within

Frollo:
Bring these gypsy vermin to the palace of justice.

Guard:
You there, what are you hiding?

Frollo:
Stolen goods, no doubt,
Take them from her.

Clopin:
She ran!

Chorus:
Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day)
Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes)
Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl)
Quantus tremor est futurus (What a trembling is to come)
Quando Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come)

Gypsy:
Sanctuary!
Please give us sanctuary!

Frollo:
A baby?
A monser!

Archdeacon:
Stop!

Clopin:
Cried the Archdeacon.

Frollo:
This is an unholy demon,
I’m sending it back to Hell,
Where it belongs.

Archdeacon:
See there the innocent blood you have spilt
On the steps of Notre Dame

Frollo:
I am guiltless,
She ran, I pursued.

Archdeacon:
Now you would add this child’s blood to your guilt
On the steps of Notre Dame.

Frollo:
My conscience is clear.

Archdeacon:
You can lie to yourself and your minions,
You can claim that you haven’t a qualm,
But you never can run from
Nor hide what you’ve done from the eyes
The very eyes of Notre Dame.

Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Clopin:
And for one time in his life
Of power and control

Chorus:
Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy)

Clopin:
Frollo felt a twinge of fear
For his immortal soul.

Frollo:
What must I do?


Archdeacon:
Care for the child, and raise it as your own.

Frollo:
What? I’m to be settled with this misshapen....
Very well. But let him live with you, in your church.

Archdeacon:
Live here? Where?

Frollo:
Anywhere.
Just so he’s kept locked away where no one else can see.
The bell tower, perhaps,
And, who knows, our Lord works in mysterious ways.
Even this foul creature may
Yet prove one day to be
Of use to me.

Clopin:
And Frollo gave the child a cruel name,
A name that means “half-formed”: Quasimodo
Now here is a riddle to guess if you can,
Sing the bells of Notre Dame,
Who is the monster and who is the man?

Clopin and Chorus:
Sing the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells of Notre Dame!

*squee*

Thank you!

Though... the Latin in that is all funky, LOL. There's no K in the Latin alphabet. Haha... that makes me happy...

Hunchback of Notre Dame is an anomaly in Disney history--whose idea, do you think, to make Hugo into family fare? o0'


(And Ari: But there is a 'k' --more or less-- in Greek. And the Kyrie is Greek. ^_^)

Gyr, I can't believe you didn't think of this one....BEST villain song, people!


[Ursula:] The only way to get what you want is to become
a human yourself.
[Ariel:] Can you do that?
[Ursula:] My dear, sweet child. That's what I do - it's
what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk -
like yourself - poor souls with no one else to
turn to.

I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light and made a switch
True? Yes

And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
(Pathetic)

Poor unfortunate souls
In pain
In need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad
So true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"
And I help them?
Yes, I do

Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes, I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls

[Ursula:] Have we got a deal?
[Ariel:] If I become human, I'll never be with my father
or sisters again.
[Ursula:] But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing.
We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
[Ariel:] But I don't have any -
[Ursula:] I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a
trifle. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
[Ariel:] But without my voice, how can I -
[Ursula:] You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't
underestimate the importance of body language! Ha!

The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yes, on land it's much preferred
For ladies not to say a word
And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?

Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man

Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy woman
And I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad
But true
If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
You've got to pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll!
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul

Ooh, I love Hunchback! I agree, Ari: the bells and just the whole atmosphere gives me the chills, but it's so beautiful! I borrowed the soundtrack from the public library and ripped myself a copy...I'm such a bad person...XD
