Tomorrow Land.
Somewhere westward Of today
Lies country far away,
And its name explorers say,
Is Tomorrow Land.
There, across the starlit wave,
Little people all "behave"-
Girls are good and boys are brave
In Tomorrow Land.
Lessons are not left undone,
And although there's lots Of fun
No one leases any ole
In Tomorrow Land.
"Shan't" is word no lips repeat,
Tempers are serene and sweet,
Hands are washed and clothes are neat
In Tomorrow Land.
Bedtime doesn't bring frown,
And when some one tumbles down
Outcries do not rouse the town
In Tomorrow Land.
Could we emigrate to there,
Good resolves their frui. would bear;
Mother wouldn't have care
In Tomorrow Land.
