It's a world of laughter A world of tears It's a world of hopes And a world of fears There's so much that we share That it's time we're aware It's a small world after all
There is just one moon And one golden sun And a smile means Friendship to every one Though the mountains divide And the oceans are wide It's a small world after all
It's a small world after It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small, small world
After the turn of the century In the clear blue skies over Germany Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird
Up in the sky, a man in a plane Baron von Richthofen was his name Eighty men tried, and eighty men died Now they're buried together on the countryside
In the nick of time, a hero arose A funny-looking dog with a big black nose He flew into the sky to seek revenge But the Baron shot him down - "Curses, foiled again!"
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' up the score Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany
Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan He challenged the German to a real dogfight While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight
That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

I'm Henry the Eighth I am Henry the Eighth I am I am I got married to the widow next door She's been married seven times before And every one was a Henry (HENRY!) She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam. I'm her eighth old man named Henry... Henry the Eighth I am.
Easily the most successful mix CDs I've made have been for kids. I made one set of four (which became five) for my 20 month and 3 year old nieces. Friends who run a Children's Day Care Center got copies, and they say they're incredibly popular with the kids. Apparently, one of the younger ones, around 4, really really REALLY likes Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron and has almost worn out the groove in the CD...
I crunched those CDs down to one mix, The Not-So-Inner Child which I bring to cons and such.
We used to sing Henry the Eighth in camp, complete with cockney accent: "I'm 'er eighth old man niamed 'Enery..."
I was having the very dickens of a time NOT typing the accent in...my fingers and my brain are sometimes a little too connected...but I was HEARING it with the accent which meant I should have been TYPING it with the accent...
The little voices in my head say it's time to go home now.
p.s. Once upon a time at a different job, it was WAY too easy to annoy the hell out of one of my coworkers...all we had to do was simply HUM "Henery" and he'd FLIP...he never did figure out that if he quit reacting we'd quit doing it!
When I first started dating Elaine, I was over at her apartment one day and she was listening to something that sounded vaguely familiar. It took me a while to realize it was "Ticket to Ride"...as sung by Karen Carpenter. Until I pointed out it was a Beatles song, Elaine didn't realize it was a Beatles song. And, to be honest, if I had only heard the Karen Carpenter version, I wouldn't have known it was a Beatles song either.
You know Shonen Knife, right? Every time I hear "Top of the World", I think of the Shonen Knife cover on the tribute album "If I Were a Carpenter", which also features The Cranberries, Dishwalla, and Cracker, among others.
Back in the day, my younger brother played Side One of a David Bowie album loud enough, such that it was heard well around the house. So much so, we were catching Mom humming those tunes 10 years later. The sibs wouldn't point it out that often, as it was more fun to chuckle about it to each other.

Take infinity down, pass 'em around,
Aleph one bottles of beer on the wall.

It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to every one
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
