Hefner And Disney Lyrics - T Bone Burnett

Somewhere between Never Neverland and Wonderland 

In a land called Never Wonderland 

There lived a beautiful wealthy young divorce 

With a checkered past and a bad memory 

Who should probably remain nameless 

And men traveled from far and wide and try to win her hand 

And she took in stragglers from all over the known world 

Her newest guests were as her mother called them 

"The latest Russians to defect" 

One's name was Hefner the other's name was Disney 

Disney smoked a pipe and was very philosophical 

He was constantly surrounded by go go girls 

He used to take pictures of them without any clothes on 

And sell them to the neighborhood children 

Hefner on the other hand was not so introspective 

He loved a good story just like anybody else 

In fact he loved the myths of Never Wonderland so much 

That he made elaborate molded plastic sculptures 

Of the characters in the myths 

And then he'd set them out in the garden 

Until he had built a whole 'nother land in Never Wonderland 

Which he called Hefnerland 

The neighborhood children loved them 

They had lots of fun playing in Hefnerland 

And looking at all Disney's go go pictures 

Because they didn't know any better 

And they didn't know any worse 

But the beautiful, wealthy, young divorce thought 

That they were only after her money 

Sometimes she even wished they would go back to Russia 

But between you and me they were really dupes of the Wicked King 

Who wanted to rob the children of their dreams
