Styx parody lyrics
No Film Ever Goes As Planned
For use with Nothing Ever Goes As Planned
(What does the markup on these lyrics mean?)
Whatcha gonna do for a Caribbean villain this time?
He’s not the same old stuff
No thing from the past, that’s right
You got legends of the Locker and the Flying Dutchman
Kraken too and a treasure to match
But the viewers are acting bored
And you’re feeling like you’re going to lose
You’ve got don’t believe you
blues
You get up every morning and you go to work each day
You go to work, you go to work, you go to work
Been doing the same film job for many long years at Disney
You’ve got to work, you’ve got to work, you’ve got to work
You’ve been working and making an - other Caribbean dream
A-scare in making for the screen
But when away from islands, movie-plot turns to lost-views
You’ve got the ocean blues
Cause no-film ever goes as planned
It’s a hell of a notion
(Not) even Dead-Man’s buried in sand
And he drops in the ocean
Bare - ly together, do not act so organized
But every time that things go wrong
You’re still surprised
You’ve done your movie
You’ve paid a fortune to do
Still got the lack-of nature blues
He struts around the set like a horrible thing tonight
They’ll scream over the horror and organ notes, that’s right
But when the showing is over, audi - en - ces go
Critic - ize the movie on the telephone
And everywhere I look Dead Man’s Chest has bad reviews
He got the big star blues
Boy, no-film ever goes as planned
It’s a hell of a notion
(Not) even Dead-Man’s buried in sand
And he drops in the ocean
Bare - ly together, do not act so organized
But every time that things go wrong
You’re still surprised
You’ve done your movie
You’ve paid a fortune to do
Still got the lack-of nature blues
