The REAL lyrics are...
Oct. 10th, 2008 12:29 amAt work, we have an ipod with all sorts of different playlists for the various themes we explore with the kids, such as "Animals", "Summer", "Halloween", "Body Parts", etc. We also have a Disney playlist which is, as you can imagine, quite a hit with the four-year-old set. But why is it that they always want to listen to the most annoying songs? We've got plenty of great numbers, like "Hakuna Matata", "Be Our Guest", "Bear Necessities", and "A Whole New World", but all they want to listen to is the Disney "Happy Birthday" song, whether or not it's actually someone's birthday. As if that weren't enough, they seem convinced that the lyrics simply consist of "Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday," ad nauseum, and they're perfectly happy to sing that line over and over.
Actually, the most requested song is "It's A Small World", and it's a rare day that goes by when I don't hear, "Ms. Adele! It's a small song, please!"
I still haven't convinced Mua that the words do not, in fact, go, "It's a small world after Earth."
Today, Mai was singing the song quietly to herself, and I started paying attention just in time to hear her version, which I think is the best I've heard yet:
"It's a small world elephant!"
