She’s a small girl after all.
You can see she’s not too tall.
and in fact she’s rather small.
she’s a small, small girl.

There were a couple of verses, but I won’t subject you to any more than necessary. You’ll never get the blasted tune out of your head, but at least you can get some slightly more interesting lyrics. My options were limited by circumstance, so roll your own if you’ve got ‘em.

(This is where stream-of-consciousness thinking gets you)

People rag on me for bringing up points like this constantly.

It is a small world after all, Mr. Scalzi.

2) BradJ and his friend Allen are hilarious/brilliant.

There is just one moon
And one golden sun
How I wish that I could bring my shotgun
I would quickly take aim
Puppet parts fall like rain
In a small world after all.

I expect you also argue the finer semantic points of grammar and word definitions/connotations with your friends as well, John?

[The following preview is approved for all audiences.]

BLACK SCREEN. Words fade in in large letters. Music starts – the theme song, in a minor key…should sound creepy yet almost recognizable.

IT’S A WORLD OF LAUGHTER

Behind the words, images fade in. A child is playing on a swing, laughing. The picture appears to be home-movie quality. The words fade out, then the picture does as well until the screen is black again.

Words fade in again.

A WORLD OF TEARS

Image fades in of a mother crying, holding a poster. It’s a missing-child poster, with a picture of the child shown on the swing. Words fade out, then the picture again. New words fade in:

IT’S A WORLD OF HOPE

Fade in another woman in an empty church, praying. Fade out the words, fade out the picture, fade in new words:

AND A WORLD OF FEARS

Fade in: Soldiers walking children to school. Fade out the words, fade out the picture.

BLACK SCREEN.

Voiceover: Children are vanishing worldwide.

(Image montage: milk cartons, junk-mail inserts, posters on telephone poles, websites. All showing missing-children images. A newspaper, headline “THIRD AREA CHILD VANISHES”; underneath, “HUNDREDS NOW MISSING WORLDWIDE”.)

A multinational team is their only hope.

(An ethnically-balanced group of about 8 people getting ready for the big assault. Keanu, Michelle, and Jean, a token black guy, and a few redshirts.)

They must work together to stop a madman from turning the children into an acoustic weapon that will devastate the world.

(Assorted clips from the big climactic fight at the end. We probably spoil half the surprises in the fight here – it’s a trailer, that’s what we do.)

Keanu Reeves.

(Keanu diving to one side, firing a gun blindly.)

Gary Oldman.

(Gary Oldman stalking in front of a crowd of terrified kids from around the world. They’re half-heartedly singing the theme song; he’s obviously displeased with their progress.)

Michelle Yeoh.

(Michelle Yeoh beating the crap out of a goon.)

Jean Reno.

(Jean Reno putting a gun to the back of a guard’s neck.)

and Sean Connery.

(Sean Connery sitting at the head of a table. The rest of the team is sitting around it.)

Connery: “We have no idea where this madman is, but he _must_ be stopped.”

Keanu: “He can’t be that hard to find. It’s a small world, after all.”

(TEXT: IT’S A SMALL WORLD. COMING MAY 16.)

(Cut back to the table. Everybody around it is glaring at Keanu.)

Keanu: “What?”
