C and I went for a long drive today and while I was admiring the change in scenery, this song came to mind! The movie is not particularly popular, and its soundtrack even less so, but it seemed like a good choice for Sing Song Saturday! Even though the scene in the movie is a bit odd, I do love the song's message and it seemed uplifting and lighthearted!
That's What Makes the World Go Round
from The Sword in the Stone
Left and right
Like day and night
That's what makes the world go round
In and out
Thin and stout
That's what makes the world go round
For every up, there is a down
For every square, there is a round
For every high, there is a low
For every to, there is a fro
To and fro
Stop and go
That's what makes the world go round
You must set your sights upon the heights
Don't be a mediocrity
Don't just wait and trust to fate
And say, that's how it's meant to be
It's up to you how far you go
If you don't try you'll never know
And so my lad, as I've explained
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see my boy, it's nature's way
Upon the weak the strong ones prey
The human life, it's also true,
The strong will try to conquer you
That is what you must expect
Unless you use your intellect
Brains and brawn, weak and strong
That's what makes the world go round
Music and Lyrics by
Robert Sherman and Richard Sherman
Happy Tails to you!
