Fly, of course!
Fly!
It's easy! All you have to do is to is to is to
Huh that's funny!
What's the matter?
Don't you know?
Oh sure, it's, it's just that I never thought about it before
Any happy little thought?
Uhuh
Like toys at Christmas? sleight bells? snow?
Yep! watch me nowhere I go!
It's easier than pie!
He can fly! he can fly! he flew!
Now, you try
I'll think of a mermaid lagoon
Oh underneath a magic moon
I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave
I'll think I'll be an Indian brave
Now, everybody try one, two, three!
We can fly! we can fly! we can fly!
This won't do what's the matter with you?
All it takes is faith and trust oh!
And something I forgot Dust!
Dust? Dust?
Yep! Just a little bit of pixie dust
Now, think of the happiest things
It's the same as having wings
Let's all try it, just once more
Look! we're rising off the floor
Jiminy! oh my! we can fly!
You can fly! we can fly!
Come on, everybody, here we go!
Off to Never Land!
Think of a wonderful thought
Any merry little thought
Think of Christmas, think of snow
Think of sleigh bells off you go!
Like a reindeer in the sky
You can fly! you can fly! you can fly!
Think of the happiest things
It's the same as having wings
Take the path that moonbeams make
If the moon is still awake
You'll see him wink his eye
You can fly! you can fly! you can fly!
Up you go with a height and ho
To the stars beyond the blue
There's a Never Land waiting for you
Where all your happy dreams come true
Every dream that you dream will come true
Come on!
When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly!
There it is, Wendy, second star to the right
And straight on 'til morning
When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly! you can fly!
