Visuals | Lyrics |
---|---|
A man wakes up from bed and hits his alarm clock, which reads "6:00" | |
Walks by a picture of himself acting | I starred in every high school play |
Zooms in on picture, it turns to color and shows him acting. | Blew every drama teacher away |
Shows people clapping then cuts to the man graduating. | Graduated first in my class at Julliard |
Zooms out and the picture becomes black and white again and it turns into a picture hanging on the mans wall. He walks by while brushing his teethe. | Took every acting workshop I could |
The man opens his blinds to reveal the Hollywood sign | And I dreamed of Hollywood |
Toothepaste falls from the mans face next to a playbill of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" | While I read my Uta Hagen, and studied the Bard |
Zooms into playbill to show him acting again | Picked up parts and paid my dues
And got phenomenal rave reviews |
Shows the man signing autographs | I knew the world was gonna love me, without a doubt |
Shows the man on his bed looking at a poster | I was sure that Tarantino would be calling me on my phone Annie Liebowitz would shoot me for Rolling Stone |
He looks in the mirror | But the years have come and gone and I'm sorry to say That's not the way that it's all worked out |
It fades to him wearing a Jungle Cruise outfit on the cruise boat | I'm a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride Skipper Dan is the name And I'm doing 34 shows every day, and every time it's the same |
Dan points to some hippos as the swim by | Look at those hippos, they're wiggling their ears Just like they've done for the last 50 years Now I'm laughing at my own jokes, but I'm crying inside |
Shows Dan laughing a bit as his smile turns to a frown | 'Cause I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride |
Shows Dan when he was younger playing Hamlet | Oh the critics they used to say, I was the new Olivier |
Text on screen says "Best Actor" and it shows him getting an award | Thought I'd be the toast of Sundance, or maybe Cannes |
Dan's Jungle Cruise boat floats across the screen | Ah, but don't bother trying to IMDB me, The only place you might possibly see me, Is riding my little boat around Adventureland, It ain't exactly what I planned but |
Shows a fake snake in a tree | I'm a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride Skipper Dan is the name |
Shows shows anamotronic figures of a rhino trying to get explorers who are climbing a tree | I'm a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride Skipper Dan is the name And I'm doing 34 shows every day, and every time it's the same |
"Speed the Plow starring Dan" | I would've killed if I'd been in Speed-the-Plow But what's the difference that's all behind me now |
Dan is "steering" the boat as people get on | 'Cause I'm paying the rent and I'm swallowing my pride And I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride |
Shows Dan acting in 12 Angry Men | I should be there on Broadway, knocking 'em dead in 12 Angry Men |
Dan is at the rhino section again and it fades to multiple different families that he's describing it to | But instead I'm here telling these lame jokes Again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again! |
Shows a Bengal Tiger | Bengal tigers can jump over 20 feet... |
Shows an elephant | That's an African Bull-Elephant... |
Shows water | There it is. The backside of water! What have I done with my life? |
Shows Dan's Grandfather with wings, as if he were an angel | I should've listened when my Grandfather said Why don't you major in business instead? |
Dan and Ann, another Tour Guide, have their boats right next to each other. They pretend to shoot themselves in the head. | Now my hopes are vanished and my dreams have all died and I'll probably work forever as a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride |
Shows a tiger and an elephant statue as Dans rides by | Skipper Dan is the name |
Shows some snakes wading back and forth | And I'm doing 34 shows every day, and every time it's the same |
Shows more hippos | Look at those hippos, they're wiggling their ears, somebody shoot me 'cause I'm bored to tears! |
Shows a lady taking a picture of the alligators | Always said I'd be famous, I guess that I lied |
Shows Dan getting his pictures taken with many people as it zooms in on his face | 'Cause I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride I'm still working on the Jungle Cruise ride! |
