Unhappiest of Them All
Scorching heat
Backed up cars
And 20 dollar parking fees
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
Crowds of people
Kids screaming
Babies crying
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
Irritating loud speakers
Overpopulated ticket booths
And ridiculous ticket prices
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
Endless walking
Pretty brutal lines
And atrocious food and drink rates
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
Rides all for young kids
Congested parades
And uncivil people
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
Lingering bathroom lines
Full dinner tables
And jam-packed gift shops
All at The Happiest Place on Earth
This is Disneyland—
The Unhappiest Place on Earth, yet we still keep going back.
