Pete's Dragon
Songtexte englisch

For the English viewers:
The lyrics marked in
blue are missing in the German cut-version of the movie
and I marked them for the German viewers. I don't know exactly how complete
the actual American version is, but I think it's either cutted that way.

Happiest home in these hills (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

He's gone that-a-way, he's went this-a-way
he's up a tree I think
oh Petey, oh Petey, where are you ?
please come back
oh Petey, oh Petey, you're like a son to us
we miss you, we miss you
if I get near him you can bet I won't miss him with this

I'll cook you cake and gingerbread
bring you tea in bed on a tray
we'll slave while you go fishing
you'll get permission to run and play
these tears oughta show you I care
come back, by cracky we'll share
the happiest home in these hills, in these hills

Gonna snag him, gag him, drag him through town
put his head in the river, let the pup drown
trap him, strap him, wrap him in a sack, yeah
tie him screaming to a railroad track

We'll have you sing in chapel
you'll be the apple of Momma's eye
I'll tend to all your sowing and do your mowing
so just rely on me
dang, we know you're out there
it's late, we're waiting to share
the happiest home in these hills, in these hills

Gonna paw him, claw him, saw him in half
when he cries out for mercy we'll just laugh
beat him, heat him, eat him for dessert, yeah
roast him gently so the flames won't hurt

We'll swim and you'll go camping
you'll be a champ in your own backyard
our love is overflowing, it keeps on growin'
you'll sleep good knowing you're home in these hills

We're gonna string him from a tree in these hills
we're gonna sting him like a bee in these hills
we're gonna spill him on his head in these hills
we're gonna fill him full of lead in these hills

Boo bop bopbop bop (I love you, too) (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

I look in your eyes and I whisper sweetly
boo bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
we don’t match in size but we fit so neatly
boo bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
it’s nice waking up when you’re close beside me

humming in my ear
boo bop bop bop bop (you’re joking)
bop bop bop bop bop (I can’t believe it)
bop bop bop bop bop (you do ?)
bop bop bop bop, I love you, too

Remember the night when you first confided
boo bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
and things went so right that we both decided
boo bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
now we’re together and life is perfect

don’t ever disappear
boo bop bop bop bop (oh really ?)
bop bop bop bop bop (oh, you’re just saying that)
bop bop bop bop bop bop (is it true ?)
bop bop bop bop, I love you, too

We’re walking down a road of our own
where rain can never fall
I’m glad I don’t have to be alone
boo bop bop bop bop
bop bop bop bop bop
bop bop bop bop bop (oh yeah ?)
bop bop bop bop bop bop
bop bop bop bop bop

You know what to say when I want direction
boo bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
you don’t turn away when I need protection
roar, ah-choo
your voice is the sound of an angel singing

music I want to hear
boo bop bop bop bop (say it again)
bop bop bop bop bop (and again)
bop bop bop bop bop bop (everything seems so new)
bop bop bop bop bop, I love you, too
bop bop bop bop bop bop, I love you, too
bop bop bop bop bop bop, I love you, too
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop

I love you, too

I saw a dragon (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

A dragon, a dragon, I swear I saw a dragon
a green and seething, fire-breathing monster is in sight
with eyes of red, a lion’s head and wings as dark as night
oh, he has a jaw of gleaming teeth, he’s fifty feet in height

it’s true, it’s true, oh, what are we to do ?
it’s true, it’s true, he’ll break us all in two
oh, he’s coming in his great big fin, is right against the door
so board up all the windows and get down on the floor

A dragon, a dragon, I swear I saw a dragon
his tail lashing, he’ll be smashing ev’ry shop in town
with scaly feet he’ll crack the street and tear the steeple down
it’s not some loony dream, I heard a scream from Sheriff Brown

it’s true, It’s true, oh what are we to do ?
it’s true, it’s true - oh, Lampie’s in a stew -

A dragon, a dragon, oh, Lampie saw a dragon
he’s bleary-eyed, he’s ossified, he’s tighter than a tick

he had too much to drink today, so call a doctor quick
I’d better take him home to bed before you make him sick

we’re sunk, we’re sunk, go on with you, you’re drunk

A dragon, a dragon, he says he saw a dragon
the game is done, you’ve had your fun, my dad’s been through enough
so won’t you all behave yourselves, I don’t want any guff
you’re like a bunch of little boys who play at being tough

You’ll see, you’ll see, you’ve met your match in me
oh, you always jeer and laugh and sneer but look across the square
all right, we’ll go and take a look
good Lord, good Lord, there’s absolutely nothing anywhere
(spoken): it was there

A dragon, a dragon, I swear there was a dragon
you’re off your hinges, all those binges put you in a haze
you crazy fools, it’s all your doggone fault, he’s in a daze
let go of me, let go of me and mend your wicked ways

What makes you think there ever was, there never was
there never never never was a dragon, dragon, dragon, dragon ...

It's not easy (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

He has the head of a camel
the neck of a crocodile (it sounds rather strange)
he's both a fish and a mammal
and I hope he'll never change
cause it's not easy to find someone who cares
it's not easy to find magic in pairs

I'm glad I found him, I love him
I won't let him get away
cause it's not easy

You say the head of a camel
the neck of a crocodile (and the ears of a cow)
it's clear that friends can be different
yes, I understand you now
it's not easy to find someone who cares
it's not easy to find magic in pairs
now that you have him, hold him
treasure him from day to day

it's so easy

Life is lollipops and raindrops with the one you love
someone you can always be with
argue and agree with
climb the highest tree with

It's not easy to share somebody's dream
it gets easy when you work as a team
you've got to tend it, fan it
that's what I plan to do
oh, I had one friend by my side
now I have two
him and you
him and me
and it's so easy

Passamashloddy (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

I've been bringing cures from Pilgrim Heights to Provincetown
treated rabid fever down on Queen Anne Road
gout or gastritis, mumps or bronchitis
bites and burns and blue abrasions

got a pill for all occasions

Little Sipperwhissit was so nice to visit
and Scraggy-Neck is lovely to recall
- why didn't ya stay there ? -
but through all my trips
good Lord there's one place
one call now, one town on my lips

Why it's...Poddamaquassy, uh, Paquamasoddy, no, no...
Passamamassy, uh, Quoddamapoddy, p...p...Passamadaddy
uh, Quoddamapassy, uh, Passamahoddy ?
oh, I know, it's Passamashloddy
- no, it's Passamaquoddy -
of course, that's what I meant to say

I took your drug for losing weight and now I'm a blob
but now that there's so much more of you to love

I wiped out impetigo on the banks of buttermilk
flu is under firm control in powderhole
Terminus' potions, tablets and lotions
major news and modern science
step up now and join my clients

Spent the day in Buzzard's Bay, they couldn't keep me there
even turned away from Kingdom Hall

- they probably threw you out - he he they probably threw ..
but since I was young, good Lord there's one spot
one little bit of heaven on my tongue

Why it's Poddamaquassy, no, no
Paquamasoddy, no, Passamamassy, uh, Quoddamapoddy
P-P-Passamadaddy, uh, Quoddamapassy, uh, Passamahoddy ?
oh, I know, it's Passamashloddy
- no, it's Passamaquoddy -
of course, ha, ha, I knew it all the time

- My hair was grey and thanks you to it turned into pink -
but that colour, it's so becoming
- we're gonna wash your faulty tonics right down the sink -

Wait, listen, my specialties are
audiology, mycology, sarology, teritology
embryology, psychology, zoology
and every other 'ology' you can think of

.....

My friends you've seen a miracle and you'll see many more
people will come pouring in from land and sea

we'll have centres for testing, let's start investing
keep those dimes and dollars mounting, (I'll collect) I'll do the counting

Everyone who lives here will be strong and healthy
you'll be getting richer by the day (yay)
hear them acclaim us, this down will be famous
the whole wide world will look at us and say, hey:

It's Poddamaquassy, no, Paquamasoddy, no, no, Passamamassy
uh, Quoddamapoddy, P-P-Passamadaddy, Q-Q-Q-Quoddamapassy
Quoddamaddy, Dappadaddy, Dappamossy, Quoddapossy
Quassapossa, Passaquossa, ha ha ha ha (Quaddy)

- Passamaquoddy - I know

Candle on the water (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

I'll be your candle on the water
my love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
but the clouds are lifting
don't give up, you'll have some where to turn

I'll be your candle on the water
til ev'ry wave is warm and bright
my soul is there beside you
let this candle guide you
soon you'll see a golden stream of light

A cold and friendless tide has found you
don't let the stormy darkness pull you down
I'll paint a ray of hope around you
circling in the air lighted by a prayer

I'll be your candle on the water
this flame inside of me will grow
keep holding on you'll make it
here's my hand so take it

look for me reaching out to show
as sure as rivers flow
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you go

There's room for everyone (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

There's room for everyone in this world
if everyone makes some room
won't you move over and share this world
everyone make some room

Even a dragon deserves a place, a wide open space
with no reins, no chains
he wants to play games, dance with you, give him a chance

to sing his song, he only wants to belong

There's room for everyone in this world
will everyone make some room
spread out while Elliott gets uncurled
fly on his back and zoom

Rock him and ride him and line up beside him
you'll see how quickly you blend
a dragon is just one more stranger in search of a friend

From an ant to a bird to a buffalo herd
let them walk and fly and roam
step aside, let them live, it's simple to give
like us, they just need a home

There's room for everyone in this world
back up and make some room
let's all move over and share this world
everyone make some room

Just think how far out the ocean goes, the whirling wind blows
shore to shore, door to door
think of the valleys, the mountaintops, the Earth never stops
so deep, so high, with miles of sky, we all have part of the pie

welcome the dragon while you have a chance
give him his moment to rise up and dance

There's room for everyone in this world
will everyone make some room
love given freely can spare this world
let friendly feelings bloom

Just give an inch, give a yard, never flinch
when the time comes to offer a hand
so let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand

(so let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand)
just the way God planned it, just the way God planned

Every little piece (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

Dragon whiskers, dragon toes
a dragon tooth and, hm-hm, dragon nose

Ev’ry little piece, ev’ry little piece
we could make a million by slicing him, dicing him
Hoagy, we can sell every little shell
there’s enough of him to go around
money, money, money by the pound

Ev’ry little piece, ev’ry little piece
I can take a scissor and clip him up, rip him up
ev’ry little part is a work of art
think of what a dragon heart would bring
wrapped up in a ribbon and a string

Dragon liver can cure a cold
dragon powder grows hair
with dragon blood you’ll never grow old
ev’ry item is covered with gold
ev’ry item is covered with gold

Ev’ry little piece, ev’ry little piece
dragon, you’re my wagon to destiny, you’re the key
ev’ry little shred, moving me ahead
ev’ry dream of mine will be fulfilled
oh, what a dragon business we can build

Dragon cartilage keeps you thin
dragon fat is for burns
a dragon tear will clear up your skin
watch the profits come rolling in
watch the profits come rolling in

Ev’ry little piece, ev’ry little crease
oh, lead me to the dragon, I’ll buy him up, tie him up
drag him from the cave, show him that I’m brave
I’ll bind him up, grind him up, lock him up, chop him up

can’t you hear that jingle jangle sound, oh yeah ha ha ha ha
it’s money, money, money by the pound
money, money, money, crouns, sous
we’ll have banks, full of francs, quids, bucks, in truckloads
cash, stocks, bonds, biggest shares, millionaires
marks, yens, in tens and twenties, cash

Dragon cartilage keeps you thin
dragon fat is for burns
a dragon tear will clear up your skin
watch the profits come rolling in
watch the profits come rolling in

Ev’ry little piece, ev’ry little crease
lead us to the dragon, we’ll buy him up, tie him up
drag him from the cave, show him that we’re brave
- oh no boss, no, you’ll go yourself -
we’ll bind him up, grind him up, lock him up, chop him up
can’t you hear that jingle jangle sound, oh yeah ha ha ha ha
it’s money, money, money by the pound

money, money, money by the pound
money, money, money by the pound .....

(a little later)
We’ll bind him up, grind him up, lock him up, chop him up
can’t you hear that jingle jangle sound, oh yeah ha ha ha ha
it’s money, money, money by the pound

Brazzle dazzle day (Hirschhorn / Kasha)
Note : The first four lines of the song can also be heard at the nearly end of the film.

It's a brazzle dazzle day
so throw off the past an everything in it
that's the brazzle dazzle way
enjoying your time, from minute to minute
running through the sand without your shoes on (shoes on)
making sure that you don't keep your blues on
finding a boat we can cruise on

It's a brazzle dazzle day
when you think of love and never of sorrow
that's the brazzle dazzle way
to do your work now and take off tomorrow
flying through the air; you don't need wings on (wings on)
climb right up and feel the thrill it brings on
flock with the wind as it sings on

Ride higher and higher and glide above the clouds
free, no one to catch us or slow us
even the birds are below us

It's a brazzle dazzle day
a life time of joy in just a few hours
all our brazzle dazzle years have just begun
we'll follow the sun and replay
this brazzle dazzle day

When your job becomes a frolic
you'll become a "brazz-a-holic"

Ride higher and higher and glide above the clouds
free, no one to catch us or slow us
even the birds are below us

It's a brazzle dazzle day
a life time of joy in just a few hours
all our brazzle dazzle years have just begun
we'll follow the sun and replay
this brazzle dazzle day
this brazzle dazzle day
this brazzle dazzle day
this brazzle dazzle day ....

Bill of sale (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

- Lady, that boy is ours -

We got a bill of sale right here
that says he belongs to us
we bought him fair and square last year
and we own the little cuss

Look here, read the writin' that gives us a legal claim
oh, we got a bill of sale right here
with dear little Petey's name
I don't believe it

We got a bill of sale in hand
and lady, if you don't budge
we'll pick ya up right where you stand
and bring ya before the judge - no Sir -

That boy is our property
same as the family cow
cause we got a bill of sale right here
and we're gonna take him now

You can't have him (gotta do his chores)
you don't love him (make him gonna wash the doors)
all you've done up to now is break his heart

(shine shoes, turn screws, fix the broken fuse)
you'll abuse him (he's so good at feedin 'hogs)
and just use him (feedin' hay and choppin' logs)
look out, or I'll take you apart

(we'd like to see you try it)

We got a bill of sale right here
he's ours until he dies

stay where you are, just one more move
and you'll get it between the eyes
you won't make a slave of him
even if you connive

Yes we will, cause we got a bill of sale right here
we got a bill of sale right here
we got a bill of sale right here

right here

You can't have him (he's gotta clean and sweep)
you don't love him (feed the hens and comb the sheep)
all you've done up to now is break his heart

(plant seeds, pull weeds, bow to all our needs)
you'll abuse him (carry water from the well)

and just use him (answer every time we yell)
watch out, or I'll take you apart

(we’d like to see you try it)

We got a bill of sale right here
that says he belongs to us
fight all ya want won't do no good

to holler and fume and fuss

Leave town, keep on goin'
before I can count to five
we got a bill of sale right here (I'll protect...)
we got a bill of sale right here (...him as....)
we got a bill of sale right here (...long as I'm alive)

right here, right here

I saw a dragon (Reprise) (Hirschhorn / Kasha)

A dragon, a dragon, you bet we saw a dragon
so big and brave, he came to save a village in distress
he kept the ship from crashing when he heard the S.O.S.
he faced a group of villains and he fought them with success
he's great, he's great, a chum, a pal, a mate

A dragon, a dragon, we're proud to love a dragon
before he came to fight the storm the night was dark and dim
now ev'ryone in town is save again because of him
he filled the ocean full of fish, he packed it to the brim
we want it known that he's our very own
