Disneyland

I need to get the lyrics I wrote for Disneyland typed in. So here they are. I have music, also, but I'm not sure the easiest way to enter that. I think I need to design some XSLT or something. "Enjoy"...

Disneyland

Sitting in a corner of Disneyland
Where by some miracle the music doesn't play.
Why am I so tired, when we've only been around here 3 days?
My boy has so much money Michael Eisner prob'ly gets a new car.

And autographs from 50 Disney-costume-clad cartoon movie stars...

[chorus]
Oh I remember just yesterday how I was just 7 years old.
Wishin' for the world, and doin' mostly what I was told.
Folks had no money and their boy had no particular plans.
Who would have thought I would someday come to Disneyland,

Again and again?

After 3 days in the parks we all were tired.
Tempers were frayed, little things more than we could stand:
"The Happiest Place On Earth" had lost its lustre.

Nothing lasts forever, not even Disneyland.

Now Disneyland is built on an odd combination of
Children's joy and greed.
It's a great place to think about what you want

And compare it with what you need...

Playing on the beach near Coos Bay, my boyhood home;
Watching my boy and the ocean across the sand.
Thinkin' of all the good times that make a family,

Wonderin' 'bout the place of a place like Disneyland.

[chorus]

Sitting in a lab in Würzburg, almost Christmas;
Reading email and working on a lesson plan.
Got email that says my paper was accepted for Anaheim.
Looks like my wife and boy and I'll be going to Disneyland

In Spring once again.
