It's A Cruel, Cruel, World

Just got back from a trip to Disneyland with the fam. We're a weird bunch, and as one might expect after a long day of rides, deliciousness and exhaustion, we get a bit...silly. The "It's A Small World" ride is down for annual maintenance, but that didn't stop us from ruminating on its general impact to our frequent Disney trips.

And then - as we so often do - we decided to give the song a makeover. Cummins family style.

This is what we came up with:

It's a cruel, cruel, world

It's world of drama, a world of pain

And a world of zombies who'll eat your brain

Though the earth must abide, it goes on when we've died

It's a cruel, cruel world

It's a world of scum and a world of crud

And there's probably vampires who vant your blood

Though its not a full moon, we must sing you this tune

It's a cruel, cruel, world

Chorus:

It's a cruel world after all

It's a cruel world after all

It's a cruel world after all

It's a cruel cruel world

It's a world of murder and of despair

There's a good chance that we'll lose all our hair

Though we still have the sun, it might fry everyone

It's a cruel, cruel, world

It's a world of business with no good sense

It's a world with no grass on both sides of the fence

Though between you and me on this thing we'll agree

It's a cruel, cruel world

(Repeat chorus)

It's a world of terror without any fear

It's a world of anger, a world of fear

Though I'm not naming names, they'll all go down in flames

It's a cruel, cruel world

It's a world of bigots, a world of dumb

As the rest of us all gradually grow numb

Thus we all do decline til the end of all time

It's a cruel, cruel, world
