The 'Cartoon Eyes' Back Story...
Barrie wrote this song about Kyarna… looking at the world through her cartoon eyes… the song speaks for itself….love and peace.
Cartoon Eyes Lyrics
Verse 1
Sack the politicians making war
Making love is what we voted for
They’re ugly actors waiting for applause
Mine is bigger than yours
Chorus
I want to grow up and live in a house
With a cartoon kitty and a cartoon mouse
Where everyone’s happy and nobody cries
I look at the world through my cartoon eyes, eyes, eyes
Verse 2
Save the ice from melting in Greenland
Save the rainforest in Sandakan
Save the polar bear, orangutan
Who’s gonna save neanderthal man
Chorus
Verse 3
Take a minute won’t you read my book
The story in it needs a second look
We’ll all be reckoned up the road we took
Last supper, different cook
Chorus repeats parts to fade out with ad libs
Out take – verse never used
Although it’s sketchy I can only draw
This one conclusion I am wishing for
While politicians go on fighting wars
To show mine’s bigger than yours
