Disney changes “It’s A Small World” lyrics for 60th anniversary

It may be a small world, but there is a big change for guests of Disneyland's Main Street USA and its “it's a small world” charm.

According to Disney Parks blog, the resort is celebrating its 70th anniversary, with new lyrics being added to the song synonymous with Boat Ride.

In the film, the new poem written by Richard M. Sherman will officially be added to the lyrics of “Popular Songs,” a Disneyland spokesman confirmed by Fox News Digital.

Richard Sherman passed away in May 2024 at the age of 95, but not before writing his third and final poem aimed at making his debut to mark the 60th anniversary of the song.

The song “It's Almall World” made its debut at the New York World Fair in 1964. Featuring the use of animatronics, the ride became a visitor's favorite and moved to Disneyland in 1966.
