"See You Soon Inside Playhouse Disney" is a song that was used to close down the international versions of Playhouse Disney, namely The Playhouse presentation block.
In the United Kingdom, the song was used to close down the block, along with the separate channel between its launch in September 1999 and the Playhouse format's removal in late August 2006, and as with most of the songs sung during this era, was sung by Big Dave and Little Alex. After PJ's Bedtime was launched in April 2004, the song would transition into "Say Hello".
On the Australian Playhouse Disney television series on the Seven Network, it was sung by their respective presenters; Monica Trapaga, Colin Buchanan, and Kaeng Chan.
Lyrics[]
Dave: It's that time again, so let's play again
Now we've seen how much fun it can be!
Alex: It's that time again, let's do it all again
There's really nothing we can't be!
Dave: So we all took part; we had fun making art
We made up stories from pictures that you drew!
Alex: We heard some funny songs that you'll soon remember
So next time, join in too!
Dave and Alex: So don't go away, if you want to stay
To see your favourite friends come out again!
Dave: We'll be back very soon
Alex: With lots more things to do!
Dave and Alex: There's so much here for you to share
In Playhouse Disney!
Alex: (spoken) See you soon!
Dave: (spoken) Yeah, see you real soon!
Monica: It's been a busy day, but now it's time to say
Goodbye, my friends; we'll see you soon
Kaeng: We'll meet another day; we'll sing and dance and play
Monica: And Zach the Cat will be here too!
Colin: Why not have a go; put on a show!
Be a monkey, or a kangaroo!
Kaeng: You could paint or draw...
Monica: Be a dinosaur!
Kaeng, Monica and Colin: What would you like to do?
Kaeng, Monica and Colin: So have a happy day when you go out to play
We can't wait to see you here again!
We'll be back very soon with lots more things to do!
There's so much here for you to share
(spoken) In Playhouse Disney!
Kaeng: (spoken) See ya everyone!/bye! bye! see you soon!
Colin: (spoken) Bye!
Monica: (spoken) See you next time!/see you soon!
Trivia[]
- A clean version of the song without sound effects was featured on the promotional album Come On, Join In in 2003, as well as on the UK version of The Songs of Playhouse Disney in 2005. The DVD on the latter album also features a video of a 2003-2004 version of the song with sing-a-long lyrics.
- The song's lyrics and soundtrack remained unaltered throughout the Playhouse format's life. Although the Circle Time strand was axed in late 2003, the lyrics of the song referring to the strand ("We made up stories from pictures that you drew!") were retained for unknown reasons.
- Until the PJ's Bedtime block was introduced to Playhouse Disney in early 2004, the song was sung roughly around 7:50pm. After PJ's Bedtime debuted, the song was pushed forward to 5:50pm.
- While the Playhouse Disney block in Latin America ditched this song in favor of a new goodbye song called "Hasta pronto, amiguitos", translated as: "See You Soon Little Friend", it remains unknown whether or not any other territories outside North America (aside from Australia and Taiwan) used this song.
