Disney Girls Lyrics
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade
It's a turned back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town
That's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
Hi Pop...Well good morning mom
Love...get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell
Cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old time dances
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true
And a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back
One of the best songs on "Surf's Up" - and it's no coincidence that it's paired off with one of the worst ("Student Demonstration Time") - perhaps Bruce Johnston's lyric "Oh reality, it's not for me / And it makes me laugh" says it all. He weaves a complete fabrication, an America that never actually existed. Extending that, his descriptions of the "girl I found" in the later passages are layered with meta-messages; you're not inclined to believe any of it. Bruce is perhaps the most deceptive of all the Beach Boys. "Student Demonstration Time", meanwhile, instead of providing a sharp counterpoint, reaffirms (in much coarser form) the apprehensive nature of early 70s America.
What s song.......so heart felt
Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine were always underrated, but when they got their chance they always made it count. This is one of Bruce's great moments, as he wrote and sings this absolutely gorgeous ode to an innocent, beautiful dream of an almost perfect America that should have been but instead we can only imagine. sigh One of the Beach Boys' greatest songs.
Woah.. did The Swing King just call a non-hit song from The Beach Boys and from the 70's at that a great song? head explodes from shock
Seriously, a great song. I love Bruce's voice.
Totally agree...this song is just kick-ass. Go Bruce.
beautiful nostalgia in a bottle
The song seems to describe a man's (maybe even Bruce Johnson's) yearning ("Oh, fantasy world, Disney girls, I'm coming back") for simpler, older small-town life and values (1957). The word "reality" in the song may be a reference to the early 70s (when the song was released), and America's issues at that time: Vietnam War, rise of feminism, sexual revolution, drugs, hippie movement, etc.
The lyrics are simply fantastic!..."Clearing skies and drying eyes,Now i see your smile" "...Oh,reality is not for me and it makes me laugh..".....this is where Elton Jhon started.
great whistling near the end of this song
