Andrew Lloyd Webber - Wonders Of The World Lyrics

Lyrics Wonders Of The World - Andrew Lloyd Webber



Ta-da!
Oh yes indeed! And now,
Mirabile dictu et curibus pluribus unum!
Or to use the vernacular,
Behold Professor Marvel's Magical Lantern
To see the wonders of the world you won't need to go too far from home
Not too far at all
Dorothy there are other ways
To see the world, so shift your gaze
To this extravagant appliance,
Mainly magic, slightly science
With no stressful travel plans
As you don't have to move from Kansas, see?
The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
Fly the coop and cross the ocean
Time and distance set in motion
Grab this chance to wander yonder
All the earth is ours to ponder
From the poles to the equator,
No one could provide a greater view
There's the Nile, now some don't give a hoot
That it's the longest river,
But we know in miles of course it's four-one-eighty
Seas to source
It's nature at it's most prolific
Pyramids are quite terrific too
So welcome to the waiting wonders of the world
Sometimes we may feel something simply can't be real
Like a road beneath your feet that's paved with gold
I would be inclined to maintain an open mind
For truth is very strange if truth be told
There's old popacatepetl
New York City, glass and metal
Everest unconquered mountain
Over five miles high and countin'
Here's the arctic pole and polar bears
And northern lights and solar flares
A myriad exquisite wonders of the world
Imagine red and blue on the mountains of Peru
And Sahara sands of yellow burning white
In jungles black and green fearsome creatures never seen
Other than right now- oh! That's not right!
I'm so sorry, that was from my private collection.
Moving rapidly along
We don't have to take it slowly
Here's Tibet, remote and holy
Angel falls in Venezuala
Eiffel Tower, humpback whale!
A moment feeling all the thrills
Of being near the seven hills of Rome
Oh so many sights to savour
This has merely been a flavour
Maybe time for one more wonder
Very strange it looks like thunder
But the point that I'm conveying
Is you see it all while staying home
And home is one of many wonders of the world
The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
Professor Marvel's patent wonders of the world
