Peter Pan is pushing 60
And Wendy’s a soccer mom
The Lost Boys have all been found
Except the one who’s gone all wrong
Tinker Bell’s clerking the token booth
Out on the Jersey Turnpike
It was the only job that met the qualifications
Of a geriatric wood sprite
(Chorus)
And Captain Hook
Stands alone on the deck
Of his ship run aground on the sand
The kids are playin’ video games
And no one comes to Never Land
Tiger Lilly’s workin’ as a cashier
At the Cherokee casino
She’s been workin’ there since the
Mermaid’s Lagoon
Got flooded by El Nino
Mr. Smee went away to NYU
And got a graduate degree
Starkey works a corner
vending cart
selling hot dogs and iced tea
(Chorus)
And Captain Hook
Stands alone on his pirate ship
Just missing his hand
Nothing’s been the same
Since the croc went away
Around here in Never Land
John’s the pilot of a big jet plane,
flyin’ the friendly skies
Michael has a job filling inventory
delivering office supplies
Peter’s shadow is floating away
Bouncing through time and space
But Peter doesn’t even miss him
And the shadow doesn’t know his face
And Captain Hook’s
Still on his pirate ship
Just shouting out commands
But there’s no one to hear cept'
the stars and the moons
that surround Never Land
And Captain Hook
Stands alone on his pirate ship
Just missing his hand
Nothing’s been the same
Since the croc went away
Around here in Never Land
Wendy,
I thoroughly enjoyed this song. A very interesting take on Never Land...twenty five years on. And I liked the simple, somewhat melancholic rendition.

What a wonderful song! Perfect songwriting and lyrics. It's bedtime here now, but I'll definitely come back to listen to your other songs too.
Regards,
Steffen
