Welcome to our city, The happiest place on earth! We’re conditioned to be happy folks, Starting right from birth. In the mornings are our daily shots, To keep our senses dull. Then we walk to morning class, Grins plastered to our skulls. They seat us by a great big screen With images and sound. They show us what will happen If we ever slip a frown. We gawk at the “Correction Site” You’ll see as you drive in. It’s filled with rotting corpses With no choice BUT to grin! So we are always happy! Happy as can be! There is no crime, or sin, or tears, Only endless glee! Can’t you see me smiling? Don’t you want this too? Come join our happy city! Yes, the city, she wants you….

The Happiest Place on Earth
Welcome to our city, The happiest place on earth! We’re conditioned to be happy folks, Starting right from birth. In the mornings are our daily shots, To keep our senses dull. Then we walk to morning class, Grins plastered to our skulls. They seat us by a great big screen With images and sound. They show us what will happen If we ever slip a frown. We gawk at the “Correction Site” You’ll see as you drive in. It’s filled with rotting corpses With no choice BUT to grin! So we are always happy! Happy as can be! There is no crime, or sin, or tears, Only endless glee! Can’t you see me smiling? Don’t you want this too? Come join our happy city! Yes, the city, she wants you….
