• 72. If I Never Knew You - Pocahontas (1995)

If I never knew you, if I never felt this love
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
And if I never held you, I would never have a clue
How, at last, I’d find in you the missing part of me

In this world so full of fear, full of rage and lies
I can see the face so clear in your eyes
So dry your eyes

And I’m so grateful to you
I’d have lived my whole life through lost forever
If I never knew you

If I never knew you, I’d be safe, but half as real
Never knowing I could feel a love so strong and true
I’m so grateful to you
I’d have lived my whole life through lost forever
If I never knew you

I thought our love could be so beautiful
Somehow we’d make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
All they’d leave us were these whispers in the night
And still my heart is saying we were right

We were right…

If I never knew you, if I never felt this love
(There’s no moment I regret since the moment that we met) 
I would have no inkling of how precious life can be
(If our time has gone too fast, I have lived at last)

I thought our love would be so beautiful (So beautiful)
Somehow we’d make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We’d turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right

We were right

And if I never knew you, I’d have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you…

• 47. Heigh Ho - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
In a mine the whole day through
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
Is what we like to do

It ain’t no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine (in a mine)
In a mine (in a mine)
Where a million diamonds shine

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
From early morn ‘til night
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
Up everything in sight

We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
But we don’t know what we dig ‘em for
We dig dig diggity dig

Heigh ho, heigh ho
It’s home from work we go
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho
It’s home from work we go
Heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho….

• 54. Just Around the River Bend - Pocahontas (1995)

What I love most about rivers is
You can’t step in the same river twice
The water’s always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can’t live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing

What’s around the river bend
Waiting just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend
Beyond the shore where the gulls fly free
Don’t know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the river bend for me
Coming for me

I feel that there, beyond those trees
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming?
For a handsome, sturdy husband
Who builds handsome, sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming

Just around the river bend
Just around the river bend

I look once more just around the river bend
Beyond the shore, somewhere past the sea
Don’t know what for
Why do all of my dreams extend just around the river bend?
Just around the river bend…

Should I choose the smoothest course?
Steady as the beating drum
Should I marry Kokoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?

Or do you still wait for me, dream giver
Just around the river bend?

• 71. I Just Can’t Wait to Be King - The Lion King (1994)

I’m gonna be a mighty king so enemies beware
— Well, I’ve never seen a king or beast with quite so little hair
I’m gonna be the “mane” event like no king was before
I’m brushing up, I’m looking down
I’m working on my ROAR!

— Thus far a rather uninspiring thing 

Oh, I just can’t wait to be king

— You’ve got a long way still to go, Master. If you think…

No one saying “Do this.”
— Now when I said that…
No one saying “Be there.”
— What I meant was…
No one saying “Stop that.”
— What you don’t realize…
No one saying “See here.”
— Now SEE HERE!

Free to run around all day
— Well, that’s definitely out
Free to do it all my way

— I think it’s time that you and I arranged a heart to heart
Kings don’t need advice from little hornbills for a start
— If this is where the monarchy is headed, count me out
— Out of service, out of Africa, I wouldn’t hang about
— This child is getting wildly out of wing

Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!

Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I’m standing in the spotlight
— Not yet!

Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let’s hear it in the herd and on the wing
It’s gonna be King Simba’s finest fling
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king
Oh, I just can’t wait to be king!
