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

I had EVERY Disney record growing up- and I sang to all of them. Later, seeing the Disney version as an adult- the music was quite a bit different for this album- which seems like it might have been released sometime after the film. I see another version of the soundtrack as it is from the film. The girl playing Alice isn't quite as professional a singer and it's obvious they polished up the songs and orchestra quite a bit. I wonder what the difference was and why they chose to release this record considering the film, at the time of its release in 1951 was not a hit. As film versions go this and the 1930's version (with WC Fields, Carey Grant etc) are my favorites. A few years ago my mother decided to donate all her albums to a university and in the process, ALL my beloved Disney albums are now gone. I'm heartbroken. This was my favorite. Anyone know what year this LP was made in and why the second version?

Oh, this is so pretty!
