I read comicbooks and I was the hero of the comicbook
I saw movies and I was the hero of the movie
So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true

They're dedicated

Without a song, the day would never end,
Without a song, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song, the road would never bend
Without a song.
So I'll keep singing the song.
Goodnight.
