Stephen Schwartz - Pleasure Island Lyrics

Shouldn't there be a place where nothing is naughty?
Shouldn't there be a place where anything goes?
And fun's the only bis'-- guess what? -- there is!

Pleasure island! Pleasure island!
It's that 'What's for supper? Candy, cake, and pie' land!
See that window? Why not break it?
See that toy there? I'll just take it!
And you'll never have a lesson or a chore to do!
'Rules and limit? Kiss goodbye' land.
Pleasure island welcomes you!

Wouldn't you like to play and party forever?
Wouldn't you like to fight, and frolic, and fuss?
To stomp in the mud, and get real dirty and never apologize?
Is that your sort of thing? Then sing with us!

(Host and Children singing together)
Pleasure island! Pleasure island!
It's that 'What's for supper? Candy, cake, and pie' land!
See that window? Let's go break it!
See that toy there? We'll just take it!
'Cause we think it's really smart when you act really dumb!
'Schools and bedtimes? Kiss goodbye' land.
Pleasure island here we come!

Would you like an extra scary adventure? Ha ha ha.
Would you like a special sort of a thrill?
(You bet!)
The kind of ride you scream and holler and clench your eyes real tight.
(Clench your eyes real tight.)
More scared than you'd admit.
Well this, this is it!

Pleasure island! Pleasure island!
'Every dare you ever dreamed, you get to try' land!
Does it scare ya?
Do you fear it?
Double dare ya!
That's the spirit!
You're no chicken, though you may find out it pays to be.
As we leave you, with a smile and displeasure island memories.
