Disney Sing Along Songs: Circle of Life

Professor Owl: And now, here's our friend, Jiminy Cricket!

Jiminy Cricket: Did you ever wonder about the Circle of Life? We're all part of it. I'll show you. (Taking the chalkboard screen out of his hat, and using his umbrella like a billiards pen as chalk to draw baby Simba, for example.) Take baby Simba, for example. (Now, he draws Simba.) Everybody's circle of life begins with birth and Simba's dance with this song of celebration.

(Song: Circle of Life from The Lion King)

Jimmy Cricket: Now, here's our song for our friend and princess, Ariel. Seems this little mermaid can't wait to go out. She's at that age where she wants to be allowed to find her special place in the world around her.

Flounder: Ariel, are you okay? Ariel: If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things - could be bad.

(Song: Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid)

Jimmy Cricket: (wrapped in a towel, drying his ear) Sure's wet down here. Here's Aladdin, magically transformed into Prince Ali. (rubbing and shaking his back with his towel and putting it on like a jacket.)

Sultan: He he he. Jafar, you must come and see this!

(Song: Prince Ali from Aladdin)

Jiminy Cricket: (now with a chalkboard screen with a drawing of Simba, chuckling) What a ride. That was sure fun. Anybody would love to be prince, except Young Simba of course. (using a tip of the umbrella as orange chalk to draw the mane) He's so erred to take his place in the Circle of Life. He just can't wait to be king.

(Song: I Just Can't Wait to be King from The Lion King)

Jiminy Cricket: (chuckling) They sure know how to have fun. Little Simba has big dreams. (walking around the shelf with these books) You know who else has big dreams? Our friend, Belle. She loves to read books and she loves to dream of adventures beyond her little town.

(Song: Belle from Beauty and the Beast)

(Only in the UK Version*)

Jiminy Cricket: Adventures sure are fun, especially when shared with friends.

Michael Darling: Come on, Bear. Wendy Darling: Michael, do be careful! Peter Pan: Come on, Wendy. I'll show you the mermaids.

(Song: Following the Leader from Peter Pan)

The Birds: Oh, a teedle ee dum a teedle ee-do-tee-day

Jimmy Cricket: Guess we all have a place in the Circle of Life. Doesn't matter who you are. We share the same world and live under the same stars up there in the sky. We've all got dreams and when we share those dreams with others, we join in the Circle of Life.

(Song: When You Wish Upon a Star from Pinocchio)
