"Magic Kingdom in the Sky"

[ZZUB]

I was listening to Radio Buena Vista on Live365 and I heard a song called "Magic Kingdom in the Sky." I've never heard it before. Where did it come from? I don't remember it from any ride I've been on. Is it from one of the shows?

My life doesn't depend on an answer you understand, I'm just curious about the song. If anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it.

I've never heard this song. I'll bump this back to page one for you, though.

It's by an a capella group called Da Vinci's Notebook. I don't think Disney has used it for anything, but it's a great song.

All my life I have been searching for that 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. (one day)

After years and years of wand’ring, oh the kingdom ye shall find (oh that kingdom)
And the doors may not be open but we’ll gather in that line
Then our hearts will swell with pride the day those gates swing open wide
And we take a walk down Main Street USA.

Oh that magic kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by (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,
No more cares or sorrows on that heav’nly 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,
Drawing Mousketeer stigmata
In the only club that’s made for you and me.

Oh that magic kingdom in the sky (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by (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 Saint 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 always bright
All the angels are clean-shaven and the people snowy white
Where your problems all are 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 (in the sky)
We will all be there together by and by (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
When your back’s shaved by that Uncle Walter guy (he is my Walter guy)
We’ll give thanks to that old geezer
And keep him in the freezer--
When we reach that magic kingdom in the
When we reach that magic kingdom in the
When we reach that magic kingdom in the
Sky
