Lyrics[]

You're just in time for a singing crustacean,
a Belle and bellringer,
a girl who's fish,
and the wish that would bring her,
a zero to hero,
an urchin who's searchin' for love
Beyond station
Beyond animation

They start with a sketch
Come to life on a page
And they capture your heart
When they step on the stage

An Indian princess, a forest of friends
A circle of life, a hoop without end
The stories we tell of adventure, romance
The art of the heart told in music and dance

Come to life on a page
And they capture your heart
When they step on the stage
We welcome you!
