(Same as verse)
Dennis loves to look
In the mirror.
He tells me that he is beautiful.
So I look too, and what do I see?
My eyes are full,
But my face is empty.
He's got a photo
Of his hero.
He keeps it under his pillow.
But I've got a pin-up
From a newspaper
Of Peter Pan.
I found it in a locket.
I hide it in my pocket.
(Same as chorus)
They took the game right out of it.
They took the game right out of it.
When I am a man
I will be an astronaut,
And find Peter Pan.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Second star on the right,
Straight on 'til morning.
Am throughout
"When you wish upon a star,
Makes no difference who you are.
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true."
