Someone wanted me to do NYC from Annie, so enjoy your request! Thanks to Niagara14301 with helping on the lyrics, and to AquaTurquoise for inspiring me with the story Good as Gold, which allowed James and Amber to observe life outside the castle. With this song, which takes place after the events of The Baker King, the entire royal family explores the village.
Sofia: Dunwiddie
What is it about you
You're big
You're loud
You're tough
Baileywick: Shall I have a carriage prepared?
Miranda: No, I think they've been cooped up long enough
Sofia: Dunwiddie
I go years without you
Then I can't get enough
Enough of carriage drivers answering back
In language far from pure
Enough of frankfurters answering back
Brother, you know you're
Miranda: In Dunwiddie
Too busy, too crazy
Sofia: Too hot, too cold, too late
I'm sold again on Dunwiddie
Miranda: Dunwiddie
The shadows at sundown
The roofs, that scrape, the sky
Sofia and Miranda: Dunwiddie
The rich and the rundown
The big parade goes by
Sofia: What other town has a castle like this
And a king, six foot two
Roland: Are you saying I'm short?
Sofia: No other place in the entire world
Can half compare to you
Miranda: Dunwiddie
You make 'em all postcards
Miranda and Sofia: You crowd, you cramp
You're still the champ
Amen For Dunwiddie
Sofia: The shimmer of lamp light
Roland: The pulse
Miranda: The beat
Sofia: The drive
Miranda and Sofia: The village's bright
As a penny arcade
It blinks, it tilts, it rings
Roland: To think that we've lived here all of our lives
And never seen these things
James: Dunwiddie
The whole world keeps coming
By bus, by train
You can't explain
Their yen for
Star to be
Amber: Dunwiddie
Just got here this morning
Three bucks, two bags
One me,
Dunwiddie
I give you fair warning
Up there in lights I'll be
James joins in: Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart
The place they love the best
Though California pays big for their art
Their fan mail comes addressed to Dunwiddie
Tomorrow a penthouse
That's way up high
Tonight the "Y"
Why not?
It's Dunwiddie
All: Dunwiddie
You're standing room only
You crowd, you cramp
You're still the champ
Amen for
Dunwiddie
