Lyrics[]
Cats and rabbits
Would reside in fancy little houses
And be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own
All the flowers
Would have very extra special powers
They would sit and talk to me for hours
When I'm lonely in a world of my own
There'd be new birds
Lots of nice and friendly howdy-do birds
Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds
Within that world of my own
I could listen to a babbling brook
And hear a song that I could understand
I keep wishing it could be that way
Because my world would be a wonderland

Trivia[]
- Originally, Alice was to sing a slow ballad entitled "Beyond the Laughing Sky", and it was a song about Alice dreaming of a new world, very much in the spirit of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. However, Kathryn Beaumont had difficulty singing, and it was decided that starting the film off with a slow ballad would be a little risky on audiences. The song "In a World of My Own" is livelier and was easier for Beaumont to sing.
- This song is on the orange disc Classic Disney: 60 Years of Musical Magic Fifth Volume. The two yellow Disney albums that were unmade are Classic Disney: 60 Years of Musical Magic Sixth Volume and Disney's Greatest Fourth Volume.
