(From Walt Disney World, Epcot Center 1982)

21st century's here, it's time for the dream to come true
This glorious figment of one mans imagination.
It started a long time ago, continued to flower and grow
From the marvelous mind of that magical man.
How the theme of the dream and the fabulous plan are born
And just busting to get underway and the 21st century begins today.

The 21st century's now, there's history happening here.
Before you you see how the dream reached it's domination.
And most thrilling sight one could see, with visions of things yet to be.
A brilliant design of incredible stoke.
constructed of miracles magic and hope.
And a new kind of joy for this weary old sphere
And the 21st century begins right here.

This world of wonders will astound you.
With fantasies that you can touch and feel.
The world of Epcot's all around you.
But it's no fantasy, no fantasy.
It's all alive and real.

Epcot the magnificent dream realized.
But but maybe you're asking yourselves who but what's in Epcot?
That's a good question. Is it just another amusement park? No.
Number 1, Epcot is the experimental prototype community of tomorrow
And Number 2, Epcot isn't just an any ooh no.

It isn't just a resort, it isn't just a worlds fair.
Not Just a cavalcade wizardly technology and flair.
It's not just acuity and displays by international gourmets
Where one can dine, lunch, munch crunch, for days and days and days.

Not just a festival of music, dance, the arts or education
Nor a pageant for the sensors spot by wild imagination
Not just communication nor the bounty of the land.
Not just the world of motion nor the ocean or the sand.
It's not just transportation nor life or sight or sound.
Not just satellites in space nor the fossils underground.

Where Epcot is concerned there ain't no just about it.
Epcot isn't just an anything it's everything or more.
A break to more than anything the world has seen before.
The perfect plan community the splendor rick-it straw
And Epcot sends her it's the height of it all.

Just so there's no confusion, Epcot center is located
In the center of Epcot and Epcot center is made up of 2 parts
Which is future world and the world showcase.
It's 2.5 miles from the magic kingdom
Which is also part of Epcot which is what the entire 27000 acre area
Known as the experimental prototype community of tomorrow
Or Epcot or Walt Disney World is called. Just so there's no confusion.

I hear a thousand voices loud and strong.
And Epcot is the song, The wonderful song.
The dream waits to welcome you here.
Enchantment is just up ahead.
The star of all stars is preparing to take a bow.
The Sequel the genius has created here
And the magnificence that still has dissipated here.
And if you see more then you're likely more than made it here.
It's because Disney people know how.
To present the 21st century.
Hooray for the 21st century.
That 21st century begins right now.
