My extremely talented DH wrote this the other day after hearing Weird Al's version of "The Saga Begins" using the tune of "American Pie" by Don McLean. Try to read it as you hum the tune in your head. A few of the lyrics are personal to our family, but I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
"Disney Pie"
Every few months or so
We load up and drive a thousand miles
And we all know this is our chance
To laugh and sing and play and dance
And have fun with our girl for a while
And there's one thing we love to give her
Love as deep as the Kali River
In a place near Orlando
They've got a hundred Dumbos
I can't believe the travel guide
Said there's a place where I'll hang glide
Last time for the Great Movie Ride
Let's see our Disney Side
Chorus:
So my, my, the whole family and I
On vacation, there's elation, this time in July
We left our home and put our troubles aside
Sayin' soon I'm gonna be pool-side
Soon I'm gonna be pool-side
Did you write the Book of Pooh
And have you done all the Disney Must-Do's
If Stacey tells you to
Now do you believe in Rock 'N Roll-er Coaster
Do you have a Steamboat Willie poster
Hanging in your playroom
Well I knew the chances were very slim
Going to Adventureland on a whim
But no wait at the queue
We walked right on Jungle Cruise
We booked ourselves a fastpass plus
Then we hopped right on that Disney bus
The magic swallowed all of us
This is our Disney side
Repeat Chorus
Now it's been ten years since we were on our own
But there's a time when chunks were blown
But thank God not on me
Before we stayed with the kings and queens
There was a case of food poisoning
But the blame did not go to Mickey
And while my sweetheart fed the birds
I tried to come up with the words
But now I don't try to explain
The scene from the runaway train
And while that day left quite a mark
We went right back when it got dark
It's still our favorite theme park
So starts our Disney side
Repeat Chorus
Vader, Mater, then maybe later
We might see an alligator
Where we're eight miles high and fallin' fast
It always ends with a splash
And we always have such a blast
When we take the art class
Now Main Street Bakery was sweet perfume
As we walked to Diamond Horseshoe Saloon
Let's get a Citrus Swirl
Then go ride Primeval Whirl
'Cause when it starts getting hot
It's back to the club of Beach and Yacht
We'll take a swim before EPCOT
And rest our Disney side
Repeat Chorus
And then we were all in one place
All crammed into Mission Space
With no time left to trade our pins
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Sparrow's always playin' tricks
On the Pirates of the Caribbean
Oh and as I watched them on the stage
I thought back to a younger age
Meeting the Beast and Belle
And riding the carrousel
And as fireworks climbed high into the night
I wish I may I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
We love this Disney side
Repeat Chorus
I met a girl who I accused
Of reading too much Disney news
But she just smiled and turned to say
I don't think we can afford
To miss what's on the new Disboards
I think I'll begin planning our next stay
Hard to believe this is one man's dream
And it all comes with lots of ice cream
Our goodbyes have been spoken
Hearts are temporarily broken
I think that we will likely boast
That Mickey's been a super host
Why don't we drive back up the coast
And take our Disney side
Repeat Chorus slowly
So my, my, the whole family and I
On vacation, there's elation, this time in July
We left our home and put our troubles aside
Sayin' soon I'm gonna be pool-side
Soon I'm gonna be pool-side
