Randy Stonehill - Wonderama lyrics

Mr. Little in his paper boat Sails the painted sea Velvet curtains rise on cellophane skies And the tiny town scenery And the mayor and the duchess dance To the music box serenade While angels glide down the starlight promenade The tinsel rain ends a seaside holiday And the patrons sigh knowing life can be that way Welcome to the wonderama (Come inside) Welcome to the wonderama (Keep your eyes open wide) It's never far from view Hello welcome to the wonderama In the spotlight is a silhouette Of a dragon breathing fire And the battle begins as the soldiers of tin Brave the great high wire By the morning all the world is saved Through a noble sacrifice They were all amazed When the King laid down His life The sweethearts kiss on the springtime wedding day And the patrons sigh knowing love can be that way Now the pauper and the millionaire The servant and the queen Each have their role in the miracle show Til they play the final scene Mr. Little in his paper boat Waves a last farewell And another child climbs upon the carrousel The church bells ring when the old folks pa** away Though the patrons cry they know tears will end some day
