Mickey Mouse taking a picture with his camera in front of the Matterhorn Bobsleds.
"Makin' Memories" is a song originally written by the Sherman Brothers for the pre-show for the Kodak-sponsored attraction Magic Journeys. As the title suggests, it is about preserving memories through taking photographs.
The song is notably featured on the Disney Sing Along Songs video Disneyland Fun.
Lyrics
Now we shoot whatever we see
Night or day in color photography
Candid shots are barrels of fun
Taking pictures by the light of the sun
Smile, hon, look at the camera
Hold your breath and say cheese
And with every single shot we take,
We are making memories.
Making memories, making memories
Taking pictures is making memories
Catching little pieces of times
Making them yours, making them mine.
Great vacations and celebrations
Can fade away in a year.
But when we're making memories,
Happy days are always here.
All around us
Everywhere we look.
Every moment that we live
Can fill a picture book.
Light and shadows
Smiles and sentimental tears.
They're a precious treasure
We can cherish through the years.
Making memories, making memories.
Taking pictures is making memories.
Catching little pieces of times
Making them yours, making them mine.
Great vacations and celebrations
Can fade away in a year.
'Cause when we're making memories,
Happy days are always here.
Happy days are always here!
Look at the birdie!
