Disney Music: The Parent Trap

The Parent Trap was one of the first Disney movies I ever saw, at least that I remember seeing. I actually have 'flashbacks' of seeing it, it was when my parents were out on a date night, and I was at  my Grandparents, and got to watch a movie on their VCR. That makes me feel so old. I remember that I had a huge bowl of popcorn, and my own soda! It was a pretty big night for me.

This song is sung by Disney star Annette Funicello and Tommy Sands, it was a snappy opening song to the movie, a modern 'title song' which in my opinion, Disney does extremely well. Something about this song is just so happy, it's infectious. I can't dance, but if I could, I'd dance to this song.

If their love's on skids
Treat your folks like kids
Or your family tree's gonna snap

So to make 'em dig
First, you gotta rig

 

Uh, whatta ya gotta rig?

The parent trap!

Uh-huh

If they loose that zing
And they just won't swing
Then the problem falls in your lap

When your folks are square
Then you must prepare
 
Whatta ya gotta prepare?

The parent trap!

To set the bait
Recreate the date
The first time cupid shot 'em
Get 'em under the moon
Play their favorite tune

John!

Marsha!

Ya gotta!

You lead 'em back to love
With the velvet glove

'Cause their much too old for the strap

 Straighten up their mess
With togetherness
Togetherness!
The parent trap!

John, their playing our song!

I know it!

Ooh, mama, what fools we've been!

Love's on skids
Treat 'em like kids
Loose that zing
And make 'em swing
Love's a mess
Togetherness
Bless our happy home!

Lead 'em back to love
With a velvet glove
'Cause their much too old for the strap
Straighten up their mess
With togetherness
Togetherness!
The parent trap!
