Somewhere that's green....

[Longgrain]

Well, if not, he's got inner beauty
And I dream of a place
Where we could be together at last

A matchbox of our own
A fence of real chain link,
A grill out on the patio
Disposal in the sink
A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine
In a tract house that we share
Somewhere that's green.

He rakes and trims the grass
He loves to mow and weed
I cook like Betty Crocker
And I look like Donna Reed
There's plastic on the furniture
To keep it neat and clean
In the Pine-Sol scented air
Somewhere that's green

Between our frozen dinner
And our bedtime, nine-fifteen
We snuggle watchin' Lucy
On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen

I'm his December Bride
He's Father, he Knows Best
Our kids watch Howdy Doody
As the sun sets in the west
A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine

Far from Skid Row
I dream we'll go
somewhere that's green.

1. That song is so beautiful, I want to weep every time I hear it or play it.

The over-hyping of "Aladdin", "Beauty And The Beast" and "The Lion King" aside, Ashman and Menken were a brilliant songwriting team.

[Longgrain]

2. I agree...tragic-romanticism is a huge love of mine...

N/T

3. Love that whole movie.

Thanks!

[Longgrain]

4. One of my favorites....

Still got to find the one with the original (tragic) ending though....

[Ready4Change]

5. I think our DVD has the alternate ending?

'Least I'm pretty sure it's on there?

[Longgrain]

6. I heard of it...but I've never seen it...

You mean the one where Seymour and Audrey both get eaten..and the plant takes over the world...

I would love to see it...

[Longgrain]

7. Seriously, if you have the DVD with the original ending....

P.M. me and I'll give you fifty dollars for it...

(I,m wicked serious, I've been looking for it for years...)

[Ready4Change]

8. Just looked at the cover

Doesn't say anything about it. But I remember going through the extra scenes and seeing that. I don't recall it being a really long scene, though?

[Longgrain]

9. The one I'm thinking of was really long...

Like 20 minutes or so...so I guess it's not the one...

People pay big bucks for it on Ebay...

[Ready4Change]

14. Just checked mine. Not it.

It's funny, I recall the scene, but its not on this DVD. Ah well.

10. Listen to this song back-to-back with "Part of Your World" from

Disney's 'The Little Mermaid'. Uncanny resemblance. But then, they were composed by the same two lyricists and composers, Ashman and Menken.

[Longgrain]

11. Yes I've noticed it...

And the theme of each song is the same too...

Art is either plagiarism or revolution...take your pick...

[Aristus]

12. Bad poets borrow; good poets steal!

Take a bow, Oscar Wilde! :-)

[Longgrain]

13. There's nothing new under the sun...

I said that...
