Here's another parody about Peter Pan, to the tune of The Cherry Tree Carol.
The Neverland Carol
When Peter was a young man, a young man was he,
He came upon a fairy and flew across the sea.
He came upon a fairy and flew across the sea.
On the island where he landed - fair Neverland so green -
There were lost boys and pirates, and he remained a teen.
There were lost boys and pirates, and he remained a teen.
Then Wendy said to Peter, who had her beguiled,
"Peter, won't you come back with me? I cannot stay a child.
Peter, won't you come back with me? I cannot stay a child."
Then Peter flew in anger, in anger flew he.
"You can go ahead and grow up, but you won't be taking me!
You can go ahead and grow up, but you won't be taking me!"
Then up spoke little Tootles in evening's pale gloom,
"But I would like to have my own mother and a home.
But I would like to have my own mother and a home."
So he sprinkled them with dust. As they parted ways,
She said, "Remember, Peter, to come back for me someday!"
She said, "Remember, Peter, to come back for me someday!"
When Peter was a young man, a young man was he,
He came upon a fairy and flew across the sea.
He came upon a fairy and flew across the sea.
I'm going to see Peter Paul and Mary in two days! Yay! The Marvelous Toy was my cousin's favorite song at one time, and she sang it whenever we went on car trips together. It's probably my favorite part of the video version of their holiday concert, too. I hope they sing it at their concert...
The Marvelous Boy
When he was a wee little lad, full of love and joy,
Young Peter Pan decided he would stay a little boy.
He sprinkled on some fairy dust and thought a happy thought.
And did Peter Pan glance home again? No, he certainly did not!
He can fly like a bird and fight like a knight.
He torments Captain Hook.
He lives in Never-Neverland.
You can find him in the book.
The first time Wendy met him, she admonished in surprise,
"Why, here is a boy who has lost his shadow, and look at how he cries!"
She sewed one foot and then the other, and then she clasped Peter's hand.
"Oh, please," she begged him, "can I join you in Neverland?"
He can fly like a bird and fight like a knight.
He torments Captain Hook.
He lives in Never-Neverland.
You can find him in the book.
She first called John and then called Mike while Tink flung insults with flair.
Then Peter showed the children how to be as light as air.
They started to fly, and though Nana yapped, she was quickly left behind.
Following the second star to the right, Wendy wondered what they'd find.
He can fly like a bird and fight like a knight.
He torments Captain Hook.
He lives in Never-Neverland.
You can find him in the book.
Well, the years go by too quickly, it seems, and when Peter came back one spring,
He scarcely recognized Wendy, who now wore a wedding ring.
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head, and he yowled in misery
Till her young daughter piped up from her bed, "Peter, won't you please take me?"
He can fly like a bird and fight like a knight.
He torments Captain Hook.
He lives in Never-Neverland.
You can find him in the book.
