Disney Girls

About Disney Girls

"Disney Girls (1957)" is a song written by Bruce Johnston for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1971 album, Surf's Up. The lead vocals are by Johnston, who also plays upright piano, Moog synthesizer, and mandolin. It is included on his 1977 solo album, Going Public. The song is a nostalgic reflection sung from the viewpoint of a man who rejects reality in favour of the nostalgia he felt towards the fantasy world of the girls in Walt Disney movies and television shows, songs by Patti Page and the days he made wine in his garage, enjoying lemonade in the country shade. "Disney Girls (1957)" has proven to be one of Bruce Johnston's most enduring songs, still occasionally performed by The Beach Boys in concert. It has been covered by many artists, including Art Garfunkel, Cass Elliott, Alexander Rybak, Doris Day, Jack Jones and Captain & Tennille. Elliot's version (from the album Cass Elliot) features Johnston and Carl Wilson. It is rumoured that The Byrds' Gene Clark has recorded it but his version remains unreleased. more »

Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Sadness goes and softness shows
A changing style

Just in time words have rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll

Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times, making wine
In my garage

Country shade and lemonade
Guess I'm slowing down
It'd be a turned back world
With a local girl in a smaller town

Well it's open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Love
Hi Rick, Hi Dave, Hi Pop
Good Morning, Mom
Love
Get up guess what I?m in love with
A boy I found

He's really swell
Cause he likes church and bingo chances
And old time dances

All my life I spent the nights
In dreams of you
For the warmth I missed and for the things I wished
They're all coming true

I've got my love to give and a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life as a forever wife
With a little kid someday

Well, it's early nights and pillow fights
And your soft laugh
But fantasy world and those Disney girls
I?m coming back
