Disney Girls Lyrics

Clearing skies and drying eyes now I see your smile.
Darkness goes and softness shows a changing style.
Just in time, words that rhyme, well bless your soul.
Now I'll fill your hands with kisses and a Tootsie Roll.
Reality, it's not for me and it makes me laugh.
But fantasy world and Disney Girls, I'm comin' back.

Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod.
Happy times and making wine in my garage.
Country shade and lemonade, guess I'm slowin' down.
It's a turn-back world with a local girl in a smaller town.
Open cars, and clearer stars that's what I lack.
But fantasy world and Disney Girls, I'm comin' back.

Mom! Hi, Rick and Dave! Hi, Pop! Well Good Mornin', 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.

All my life I spent the nights with dreams of you.
The warmth I missed for the things I wished are comin' true.
I got my love to give and a place to live, guess I'm gonna stay.
It'd be a peaceful life with a forever wife and a kid some day.
It's early nights and pillow fights and your soft laugh.
But fantasy world and Disney Girls, I'm comin' back.

Cover art for Disney Girls lyrics by Art Garfunkel

This is a wonderful, evocative song; a bunch of snapshots of a simpler time. To me, listening to this song is like leafing through an old photo album. I didn't know 'til recently that his was a Beach Boys cover.

Cover art for Disney Girls lyrics by Art Garfunkel

The song describes a man yearning ("But fantasy world and Disney girls, I'm coming back") for simpler times in small-town America ("1957" is mentioned in the title), with old-fashioned life and values. Bruce Johnson wrote this song in 1971, when America was experiencing rapid changes like sexual revolution, rise of feminist movement, hippie counter-culture, and maybe he yearned for life and values from way back in the 1950s.
