Disney Dollars

Lyrics

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom.
Please exchange your federal notes at the gate.
Your old presidents are no longer legal tender here.

It’s May of nineteen eighty-seven, a new republic is born.
Got a flag with two big circles, a castle on the lawn.
And a brand new paper promise, printed up in Anaheim.
Swap your boring George Washington for a hero of our time.
Yeah, Mickey’s on the one-dollar, looking so serene.
The founding father of the happiest little scene.

It's the Disney Dollar, baby, cuter than the Fed.
A velvet-gloved monopoly inside your little head.
In Goofy we trust, our faith is guaranteed.
The sovereign state of branding, planting a little seed.
Totalitarianism, but make it family fun.
Your wallet's full of cartoons now, the real world is done.

Check the reflective ink, babe, the micro-printed ears.
This funny money’s serious, calming all your fears.
Pluto’s on the ten-spot, loyal as can be.
Worthless out on Main Street, but priceless to the company.
It buys you churros, buys you hats, it buys a plastic sword.
It's the company scrip for the happily adored.

It's the Disney Dollar, baby, cuter than the Fed.
A velvet-gloved monopoly inside your little head.
In Goofy we trust, our faith is guaranteed.
The sovereign state of branding, planting a little seed.
Totalitarianism, but make it family fun.
Your wallet's full of cartoons now, the real world is done.

They stopped the presses back in twenty-sixteen.
"Evolving our offerings to enhance the guest experience."
But the promise is forever, if you know what I mean.
It's a souvenir of fealty, a collectible IOU.
From a smiling corporate rodent who will always own a piece of you.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, the cutest-ever trap.
From corporate scrip to loyalty points on an app.

It's the Disney Dollar, baby, cuter than the Fed!
A velvet-gloved monopoly inside your little head!
In Goofy we trust, our faith is guaranteed!
The sovereign state of branding, planting a little seed!
Totalitarianism, but make it family fun!
Your wallet's full of cartoons now, the real world is done!

The real world is done.
In Mickey we trust.
The real world is done.
For a small fee.
