"A Step in the Right Direction" is a song written by the Sherman Brothers and sung by Angela Lansbury. It was written for the film Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but deleted and instead included in Classic Disney: 60 Years of Musical Magic. The film of the sequence was destroyed, and when the reconstruction of the film was being done, it was instead included as a bonus feature on the DVD with photos from the sequence.
Lyrics[]
After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction after all
After all, it's a step in the direction
It's a step the right direction after all.
When a baby spider tries to trap a fly
Often times, the silken thread will come awry
Though a tangled web is all that he can claim
It's a step in the right direction all the same.
All the same, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction all the same
All the same, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction all the same.
When a little sparrow wants to leave the nest
First he has to put his feathers to the test
Tumbling from a treetop can't be called success
but, it's a step in the right direction nonetheless.
Nonetheless, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction nonetheless.
Nonetheless, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction nonetheless.
Watch the tiny tortoise inching up a hill
It may seems to you he's merely standing still
Though the steps he takes are infinitely small
They're a step in the right direction after all.
After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step in the right direction after all
After all, it's a step in the right direction
It's a step the right direction after all
