While Kelly and I were in Texas, I purchased the HoND soundtrack and promptly got “Out There” stuck in my head for the next two weeks. In an attempt to get me to stop humming it, Kelly began singing “When You Believe.” The following is the product of that attempt:
Many nights we’ve prayed
With no proof anyone was
Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning
Out there
Like beef ragout
Cheese soufflé
Pie and pudding en flambé
We’ll prepare and serve with flare
Prince Ali!
Amorous he! Ali Ababwa
Heard your princess was
Just around the river bend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past
El Dorado
The magnificent and golden
And I believe they will
Let me be good to you
So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era is tiptoeing
One step at a time
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road will go?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling, it’s better
Down where the dream takes you
Where the heart longs to
Be my baby and I’ll be your fool
My good lovin’s gonna
Show who I am inside
[pause for dramatic effect]
Hey now, you’re a rock star
Get your game on
Go play
In my heart
No matter what they say
Your present car sucks
So go to Happy Herbs
When you believe, somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe
