T-Bone Burnett - Hefner And Disney lyrics

rate me

Somewhere between Never Neverland and WonderlandIn

a land called Never WonderlandThere lived a beautiful

wealthy young divorceéWith a checkered past and a bad

memoryWho should probably remain namelessAnd men traveled

from far and wide and try to win her handAnd she took

in stragglers from all over the known worldHer newest

guests were as her mother called them"The latest Russians

to defect"One's name was Hefner the other's name was

DisneyDisney smoked a pipe and was very philosophicalHe

was constantly surrounded by go go girlsHe used to

take pictures of them without any clothes onAnd sell

them to the neighborhood childrenHefner on the other

hand was not so introspectiveHe loved a good story

just like anybody elseIn fact he loved the myths of

Never Wonderland so muchThat he made elaborate molded

plastic sculpturesOf the characters in the mythsAnd

then he'd set them out in the gardenUntil he had built

a whole 'nother land in Never WonderlandWhich he called

HefnerlandThe neighborhood children loved themThey

had lots of fun playing in HefnerlandAnd looking at

all Disney's go go picturesBecause they didn't know

any betterAnd they didn't know any worseBut the beautiful,

wealthy, young divorceé thoughtThat they were only

after her moneySometimes she even wished they would

go back to RussiaBut between you and me they were really

dupes of the Wicked KingWho wanted to rob the children of their dreams
