In A World Of My Own
Kathryn Beaumont And Chorus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cats and rabbits
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own

All the flowers
Would have very extra-special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When I'm lonely in a world of my own

There'd be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly
How-de-do do birds
Everyone would have
A dozen blue birds
Within that world of my own

I could listen to a babbling brook
And hear a song that I could understand




I keep wishing it could be that way
Because my world would be a wonderland

Line by Line Meaning

Cats and rabbits
In my alternate reality, both felines and rodents


Would reside in fancy little houses
Would live in exquisite abodes


And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
Clad in accessories even humans don't don at times


In a world of my own
In my own fantasy world where everything goes


All the flowers
Every single bloom


Would have very extra-special powers
All would possess unique and supernatural capabilities


They would sit and talk to me for hours
They'd converse with me at length


When I'm lonely in a world of my own
During those lonely moments in this world I call mine


There'd be new birds
Novel avian species


Lots of nice and friendly
Many kind and cordial ones


How-de-do do birds
Greeting me cordially


Everyone would have
Every individual would own


A dozen blue birds
A group of 12 blue members of the Aves species


Within that world of my own
Exists only in my creative universe


I could listen to a babbling brook
I’d listen intently to the flow of the stream


And hear a song that I could understand
Comprehending the melody of the babbling brook


I keep wishing it could be that way
I constantly imagine if such a world is possible


Because my world would be a wonderland
Indeed, such a world would be a fascinating realm to live in

My lyrics:
Cats and rabbits
Would trust all the humans
And like them
While they have many tea parties
And dance
In a world of my own
All the humans
Would listen and be nice
To each other
And talk for hours
In a world of my own
All the creatures
Would be kind
Without technology
Everyone would have a dozen best friends
Within the world of my own
Now I can pretend that there is peace
Within many hearts
But I keep wishing it could be that way
Because my world would be a wonderland

Little Kathryn Beaumont was 11 when she played the role of Alice. Her voice is astonishing. She even talks very mature. They drew the cartoon after her. This movie is absolutely phenomenal!

This was my Love's favorite song of all Disney movie songs. She was a Disney girl all the way! She even was employed as a "guide" on the canal boats on the Storybook Land ride for two years during high school. She passed away on 7/20/2017 after 14 years together. I miss her so. I am a guitar player and am going to arrange a fingerpicking version of this song in her memory. An absolutely beautiful song. So whimsical. I love you, Vanessa!
