Lyrics
Full Version= Spoken: Wendy: But, Peter, how do we get to Never Land? Peter: Fly, of course! Wendy: Fly? Peter: It's easy! All you have to do is to...is to...is to--Huh. That's funny! Wendy: What's the matter? Don't you know? Peter: Oh sure, it's, it's just that I never thought about it before. Say, that's it! You think of a wonderful thought! John and Wendy: Any happy little thought? Peter: Uh-huh. Wendy: Like toys at Christmas? John: Sleight bells? Snow? Peter: Yep! Watch me now--here I go! It's easier than pie!

Wendy: He can fly! John: He can fly! Michael: He flewed! Peter: Now, you try Wendy: I'll think of a mermaid lagoon Oh--underneath a magic moon John: I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave Michael: I'll think I'll be an Injun brave All: Now, everybody try--one, two, three! Children: We can fly! We can fly! We can fly! Peter: This won't do--what's the matter with you? All it takes is faith and trust... oh! And something I forgot--Dust! Children: Dust? Michael: Dust? Peter: Yep! Just a little bit of pixie dust.

Peter:Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings Wendy: Let's all try it, just once more John: Look! We're rising off the floor Michael: Jiminy! Wendy: Oh my! We can fly! Peter: You can fly! Children: We can fly! Peter: Come on, everybody, here we go! Off to Never Land!

Chorus: Think of a wonderful thought, Any merry little thought, Think of Christmas, think of snow, think of sleigh bells, Off you go, like reindeer in the sky! You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!!!

Think of the happiest things, It's the same as having wings, Take a path that moonbeams make, If the moon is still awake, You'll see him wink his eye (ohh...) You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!!!

Off you go with a Hi and Ho With the stars beyond the blue There's a Never Land waiting for you Where all your happy dreams come true Every dream that you dream will come true

When there's a smile in your heart There's no better time to start Think of all the joy you'll find When you leave the world behind And bid your fears good-bye You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!

Peter (spoken): There it is, Wendy, second star to the right and straight on 'til morning

(repeat previous verse) When there's a smile in your heart There is no better time to start
 * -|Reprise=

Think of all the joy you'll find When you leave the world behind And wave your cares good-bye

You can fly You can fly You can fly Peter (spoken): But don't be a chicken! You're a duck! If you wanna learn to fly, you're in luck. All you have to do is trust me. Okay, Tinkerbell! Pixie Dust me!
