Tom Russell - Farewell Never Never Land lyrics

Second star to the right Straight on until morning, my little friend There's an island called Never Land Where childhood dreams never end Farewell, Never, Never Land Farewell, Never, Never Land Some kids playing baseball in a vacant lot In New York City Found a body lyin' in the weeds The voice of Peter Pan, the cabin boy In 'Treasure Island' Mommy didn't tell me Peter Pan could bleed No one identified the body He was buried in an unmarked, potter's field grave From Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Chino state prison Oh what a holy noise Bobby Driscoll made Adventures in the Hollywood skin trade Whatever happened to Bobby Driscoll? Whatever happened to Peter Pan? Whatever happened to the cabin boy Young Jim Hawkins? Farewell, Never, Never Land Farewell, Never, Never Land When Walt Disney terminated Bobby Driscoll's contract, little Bobby got the blues He screamed, "Nobody terminates Peter Pan uncle Walt" Then he started walkin' backwards in a junkie's shoes 'Song Of The South, The Happy Time Treasure Island, When I Grow Up' Bobby Driscoll played hell out of 'em all The first child actor to move to Topanga Canyon The first one to take a fall Yeah, Bobby really hit the wall My old man got us a ranch in Topanga Canyon Bought me a broke down thoroughbred named, My Chief That crazy old racehorse died tangled up in barbed wire Sort of like Bobby Driscoll and the entire age, don't ya think? I saw Bobby hangin' out near the Topanga Canyon Market To tell ya' the truth he looked a trifle stoned I walked up to him and said, "Gee, Bobby You were great in Treasure Island" He snarled, "Go away, kid And leave me the hell alone" Like a dog and I was gonna take away his bone
