Disney Girls (1957) by Bruce Johnston | The Beach Boys | Old Grey Whistle Test 1975
Bruce Johnston of The Beach Boys performs his composition, “Disney Girls (1957)“ on Old Grey Whistle Test, 1975.
“Disney Girls (1957)“ is a nostalgic reflection sung from the viewpoint of a man who rejects reality in favor of the nostalgia he felt towards the fantasy world of the girls in Walt Disney movies and television shows, songs by Patti Page and the days he made wine in his garage, enjoying lemonade in the country shade. Johnston said that he wrote the song “because I saw so many kids in our audiences being wiped out on drugs“ and he had wanted to capture the feeling of an era in which people were “a little naive but a little healthier.“
“Disney Girls (1957)“ was included on the Beach Boys’ 1971 album Surf’s Up. Johnston later rerecorded the song for his 1977 solo album, Going Public.

Lyrics
Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style
Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I’ll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll
Oh reality, it’s not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I’m coming back
Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade
Guess I’m slowing down
It’s a turned back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town
Open cars and clearer stars
That’s what I’ve lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I’m coming back
Love... Hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop... Well good morning mom
Love... get up guess what
I’m in love with a girl I found
She’s really swell
Cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old-time dances
All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They’re all coming true
I’ve got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I’m gonna stay
It’d be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday
It’s earlier nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I’m coming back
