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!
