Makin' Memories

Makin' Memories was the song featured in the pre-show to both Magic Journeys and Captain EO. Here are the lyrics to the pre-show song:

Long before the old Model "T"
'Round about the turn of the century
Folks discovered a barrel of fun
Takin' pictures by the light of the sun

Smile! Hug! Look at the camera
Hold your breath and say, "Cheese." Cheese!
Little did they realize back then
They were makin' memories
Good old memories.

Makin' memories
Makin' memories
Takin' pictures is makin' memories
Catchin' little pieces of time
Makin' 'em yours and makin' 'em mine

Birthday faces and happy places
We love to hold near and dear
And when we're makin' memories
Happy days can reappear
Appear

(Brief musical interlude)

Wu! Then the flappers appeared on the scene
Rum-ble seats and twenty cent gasoline
Radios and Dixieland jazz
Brownie cameras and razz-a-ma-tazz

Snap shots of the whole family
Give that button a squeeze
Little did they realize back then
They were makin' memories

Makin' memories
Makin' memories
Takin' pictures is makin' memories
Catchin' little pieces of time
Makin' 'em yours and makin' 'em mine

Big occasions and celebrations
We can forget in a year
But when we're makin' memories
Happy days can reappear
Appear

All around us
Everywhere we look
Every moment that we live
Can fill a picture book
Picture book

Light and shadows
Smiles and sentimental tears
They're the special moments
We can cherish through the years

Now we shoot whatever we see
Night or day in color photography
Candid shots of baby at play
Photo finishes
And tigers at bay
Hey don't look into the camera
Let's be natural please
And with ev'ry single shot we take
We're makin' memories

Makin' memories
Makin' memories
Takin' pictures is makin' memories
Catchin' little pieces of time
Makin' 'em yours and makin' 'em mine

Great vacations and graduations
We love to hold near and dear
And when we're makin' memories
Happy days can reappear

All around us In our ever-changing world We can see the galaxy Of photographs unfurled Light and shadows From all corners of the Earth Tell the story of our times Our pride, our dreams, our worth.

One! More! Time!

Makin' memories
Makin' memories
Takin' pictures is makin' memories
Catchin' little pieces of time
Makin' 'em yours and makin' 'em mine

Great vacations and celebrations
We love to hold near and dear
When we're makin' memories
Happy days can reappear
Look at the birdie!

Magic Journeys

Here are the lyrics to the song exactly as it was on the 1991 Official Album of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The actual Magic Journeys song used in the attraction was not exactly like this one. It wasn't one complete song, it was a series of pieces of the song spread throughout the entire film. It also had an additional verse and different vocals/instrumentation.

Magic Journeys
Magic Journeys

Just an ordinary day
All at once you're on your way
To a place that cannot be
No one knows what turns the key

You have found a thousand eyes
Whirling images arise
For a moment they are clear
In a flash they disappear
In flash they disappear!

Magic Journeys
Mystic flights
On the wings of unexpected sounds and sights
Magic Journeys
Are they real?
Do they mirror what we think or sense or feel?
Neither dreaming, nor pretending
No beginning, and no ending

You are splashing in the stream
Of an un-remembered dream
You are searching through the eye
Of a seeker in the sky

Magic Journeys
Magic Journeys

You are riding on the winds
Where the universe begins
Through the atoms that repose
In the heartbeat of a rose

Magic Journeys
Mystic flights
On the wings of unexpected sounds and sights
How we travel
Why we go
Is a secret we will never, never know
Neither dreaming, nor pretending
No beginning, and no ending

No beginning, and no ending........
[Fade]
