作曲:

I starred in every high school play

Blew every drama teacher away

Graduated first in my class at Juilliard

Took every acting workshop I could

And I dreamed of Hollywood

While I read my Uta Hagen and studied the Bard

Hit the boards and paid my dues

And got phenomenal rave reviews

I knew the world was gonna love me without a doubt

I was sure that Tarantino would be callin ' me on the phone

Annie Leibovitz would shoot me for Rolling Stone

But the years have come and gone

And I ' m sorry to say that ' s not the way that it ' s all worked out

I ' m a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride

Skipper Dan is the name

And I ' m doin ' 34 shows every day

And every time it ' s the same

Look at those hippos they ' re wigglin ' their ears

Just like they ' ve done for the last 50 years

Now I ' m laughin ' at my own jokes but I ' m cryin ' inside

' Cause I ' m workin ' on the Jungle Cruise ride

Oh the critics they used to say

I was the new Olivier

Thought I ' d be the toast of Sundance or maybe Cannes

Aw but don ' t bother tryin ' to IMDb me

The only place you might possibly see me

Is ridin ' my little boat around Adventureland

It ain ' t exactly what I planned

But I ' m a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride

Skipper Dan is the name

And I ' m doin ' 34 shows every day

And every time it ' s the same

I would ' ve killed if I ' d been in " Speed The Plow "

But what ' s the difference that ' s all behind me now

' Cause I ' m payin ' the rent and I ' m swallowin ' my pride

And I ' m workin ' on the Jungle Cruise ride

I should be there on Broadway

Knockin ' ' em dead in " 12 Angry Men "

But instead I ' m here tellin ' these lame jokes

Again and again and again and again and again and again and again

Bengal Tigers can jump over 20 feet

That ' s an African bull elephant

And there it is the backside of water

What have I done with my life

I shoulda listened when my grandfather said

" Why don ' t you major in business instead "

Now my hopes have all vanished and my dreams have all died

And I ' ll probably work forever as a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride

Skipper Dan is the name

And I ' m doin ' 34 shows every day

And every time it ' s the same

Look at those hippos they ' re wigglin ' their ears

Somebody shoot me ' cause I ' m bored to tears

Always said I ' d be famous I guess that I lied

' Cause I ' m workin ' on the Jungle Cruise ride

I ' m still workin ' on the Jungle Cruise ride
