( same as verse )
dennis loves to look
in the mirror .
he tells me that he is beautiful .
so i look too , and what do i see?
my eyes are full ,
but my face is empty .

he’s got a photo
of his hero .
he keeps it under his pillow .
but i’ve got a pin – up
from a newspaper
of peter pan .

i found it in a locket .
i hide it in my pocket .

( same as chorus )
they took the game right out of it .
they took the game right out of it .

when i Am a man
i will be an astronaut ,
and find peter pan .

second star on the right ,
straight on ’til morning .
second star on the right ,
straight on ’til morning .
second star on the right ,
straight on ’til morning .

Am throughout
“when you wish upon a star ,
makes no difference who you are .
when you wish upon a star
your dreams come true . ”
