“Great Big Wonderful World”

Gonna tell a story now on Mother Nature’s side
All about butterflies and animals and things in flight.
Sing a few silly songs about everything that’s green
How we gotta keep it all neat and tidy clean.
We’ve got a Great Big Wonderful World here.
We’re living in a Great Big Wonderful World.
You see, we’re gonna meet two travelers named Willyum and Wadoo.
Yeah, they’re the best of friends. All the funny things they do.
Things they find along, as their journey travels on
Everything’s all right and they’re trying to fix what’s wrong.
We’ve got a Great Big Wonderful World here.
Oh, Yes! Living in a Great Big Wonderful World.
We’ve got a Great Big Wonderful World here.
We’re living in a Great Big Wonderful World.
Living here happily on the Mountain Wannabe
But there’s many things just aren’t as good as they could be.
Now Willyum and Wadoo, I said the Bear and the Porcupine,
They’re gonna do what they can to make that Mountain shine. Make it shine!
Great Big, Great Big, Great Big Wonderful World!
Remember we share one world, and that it’s all we’ve got.
We’ve got to keep it special, got to give it heart.
So we can live happily, together, on and on
Now holding hands, everybody, sing along.
We’ve got a Great Big Wonderful World here.
We’re living in a Great Big Wonderful World.
