Inspired by the "how old will you be . .?" thread - here's a great song for DVCers !!

[bjakmom]

Realizing that I will be 88 at the end of DVC (BWV) reminded me of the song I have set aside to be played at my funeral - DH and my kids are under final orders to play this as everyone leaves the service -I want to leave them laughing - and have my last 'words' be about the place I love the most (next to my home, of course) !!! - I think only fellow DVCers could understand !!

I'm going to try and link the site for the group who sings it, DaVinci's Notebook, where you can get a little 3 min sound bite: it's on the 3rd CD down (The Life & Times of Mike Fanning) - 2nd song in the box "Kingdom in the Sky".

I see that *********** posted all the lyrics a while back, so I'll add them to this thread - a tongue-in-cheek parody, but it appeals to the darker side of my sense of humor!


Quote:

One of my favorite songs.

Here are the full lyrics...
________________________

Magic Kingdom in the Sky

All my life I have been searching for the fabled Promised Land;
With my sisters and my brothers we shall walk there hand in hand;
Through the trials and tribulations and the Devil’s cruel temptations;
I know that we will all get there one day.

After years and years of wandering, oh the Kingdom we shall find;
And the doors may not be open, but we’ll gather in the line;
And our hearts will swell with pride the day those gates swing open wide;
And we’ll take a walk down Main Street, U.S.A.

Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the sky;
We will all be there together by and by;
We will all drink from the fountain and go riding on Space Mountain;
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky.

Where Mother Minnie, Father Dopey and Saint Tinkerbell abide;
There’ll be no more cares or sorrows on that heavenly teacup ride;
I will lay down all my fears when I put on those big black ears;
And join the choir to sing in harmony.

We will sing the songs of aimless souls who once had gone astray;
Who were lost but now are found in the Electric Light Parade;
Singing Hakuna Matata, growing mouseketeers stigmata;
In the only club that’s made for you and me.

Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the sky;
We will all be there together by and by;
All God’s children shall be free in Pirates of the Caribbean;
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky.

Oh, the meekest and the poorest their inheritance shall see;
And a zillion Japanese tourists all will join the jamboree;
They will ride that holy monorail into sweet providence;
When they know that their redeemer is a mouse in short red pants. (nice pants)

Won’t you take me to Orlando where the sun is shining bright;
All the angels are clean shaven and the people snowy white;
Where your problems are all hidden and unhappiness forbidden;
You’ll find salvation for a modest fee.

Climb into my Winnebago and if you help with the gas;
Then we maybe can finagle you a five or six day pass;
May your afterlife be blessed, just American Express it;
Let Mastercard and VISA set you free.

Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the sky;
We will all be there together by and by;
All religions may be practiced there except for Southern Baptist;
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky.

Oh, that Magic Kingdom in the sky;
Manufactured by that awful Walter guy; (he is my Walter guy)
We’ll give thanks to that old geezer and we’ll keep him in the freezer;
When we reach that Magic Kingdom in the sky.

They also put the audio file on the *********** site. Go to the "Photo Tour" page with all the links, and it's the link at the very bottom of the page. It's the audio file along with the lyrics so you can sing along.
