I starred in every high school play 
          Eb          Ab 
Blew every drama teacher away 
     Eb             Ab         Eb      Ab 
Graduated first in my class at Julliard 
          Eb             Ab 
Took every acting workshop I could 
      Eb           Ab 
And I dreamed of Hollywood 
         Eb        Ab        Eb         Ab 
While I read my Uta Hagen, and studied the Bard 
        Eb               Ab 
Hit the boards and paid my dues 
    Eb                 Ab 
And got phenomenal rave reviews 
          Eb             Ab              Eb      Ab 
I knew the world was gonna love me, without a doubt 
      Eb                                   Ab 
I was sure that Tarantino would be calling me on my phone 
      Eb                       Ab 
Annie Liebowitz would shoot me for Rolling Stone 
       Eb                         Ab 
But the years have come and gone and I'm sorry to say 
 Ab 
That's not the way that it's all worked out 

     Eb    Bb          Ab          Eb 
I'm a tour guide on the Jungle Cruise ride 
Ab     Eb         Bb 
Skipper Dan is the name 
       Cm   Gm  Ab         Eb 
And I'm doing 34 shows every day 
    Ab  Eb            Bb 
And every time it's the same 
Cm                  Gm 
Look at those hippos, they're wiggling their ears 
Ab                          Bb 
Just like they've done for the last 50 years 
       Eb            Bb                Ab    Eb 
Now I'm laughing at my own jokes, but I'm crying inside 
          Ab            Bb          Eb 
'Cause I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride 

      Eb                  Ab            Eb      Ab 
Oh the critics they used to say, I was the new Olivier 
           Eb            Ab                   Eb     Ab 
Thought I'd be the toast of Sundance, or maybe Cannes 
            Eb              Ab 
Ah, but don't bother trying to IMDB me 
    Eb                 Ab 
The only place you might possibly see me 
      Eb           Ab 
Is riding my little boat around Adventureland 
           Ab 
It ain't exactly what I planned but

I would've killed if I'd been in Speed-the-Plow 
Ab                           Bb 
But what's the difference that's all behind me now 
          Eb        Bb         Ab            Eb 
'Cause I'm paying the rent and I'm swallowing my pride 
       Ab            Bb           Eb 
And I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride 

F#                 Ab 
I should be there on Broadway 
                   Db      Bbm 
Knocking 'em dead in 12 Angry Men 
F#                  Ab 
But instead I'm here telling these lame jokes 
Bb              Bb 
Again, and again, and again, and again 
Bb              Bb 
And again, and again, and again

Cm                        Gm 
I should've listened when my Grandfather said 
Ab                   Bb 
Why don't you major in business instead? 
      Eb           Bb              Ab          Eb 
Now my hopes have all vanished and my dreams have all died 
        Ab           Bb 
And I'll probably work forever as a

Somebody shoot me 'cause I'm bored to tears 
Eb               Bb       Ab          Eb 
Always said I'd be famous, I guess that I lied

I'm still working on the Jungle Cruise ride
