Testo Wonders Of The World - Andrew Lloyd Webber
Testo della canzone Wonders Of The World (Andrew Lloyd Webber), tratta dall'album Andrew Lloyd Webber's New Production Of The Wizard Of Oz
TA-DA! Oh, yes indeed. And now, mirabile dictu et curabus
Pluribus unum. Or, to use the vernacular, behold Professor
Marvel's Magical Lantern. To see the wonders of the world
You won't need to go too far from home. Not too far at all!
(Sung)
Dorothy, there are other ways
To see the world, so shift your gaze
To this extravagant appliance
Mainly magic, slightly science
With no stressful travel plans
As you don't have to move from Kansas
See the unabridged assembled wonders
Of the world
Fly the coop and cross the ocean
Time and distance set in motion
Grab this chance to wander yonder
All the earth is ours to ponder
From the poles to the equator
No one could provide a greater view
There's the Nile, now some don't give a
Hoot that it's the longest river
But we know in miles, of course
It's 4-180 sea to source
It's nature at its most prolific
Pyramids are quite terrific, too
So welcome to the waiting wonders
Of the world
Sometimes we may feel
Something simply can't be real
Like a road beneath your feet
That's paved with gold
I would be inclined
To maintain an open mind
For truth is very strange
If truth be told
There's old Poppa Catapetal
New York City, glass and metal
Everest, unconquered mountain
Over five miles high and counting
Here's the Arctic snow and polar bears
And Northern Lights and solar flares
A myriad exquisite wonders
Of the world
Imagine red and blue
On the mountains of Peru
And Sahara sands of yellow-burning white
In jungles black and green
Fearsome creatures never seen
Other than right now...
(Spoken)
Oh, that's not right! I'm so sorry. That was
From my private collection. Moving rapidly along
(Sung)
We don't have to take it slowly
Here's Tibet, remote and holy
Angel Falls in Venezuela
Eiffel Tower, Humpback Whale
A moment feeling all the thrills
Of being near the Seven Hills of Rome
Oh, so many sights to savor
This has merely been a flavor
Maybe time for one more wonder
Very strange, it looks like thunder
But the point that I'm conveying
Is you see it all while staying home
And home is one of many wonders
Of the world
The unabridged assembled wonders
Of the world
Professor Marvel's patent wonders
Of the world
