Does anyone know where I can find the sheet music for “It’s a Small World” online that I can play with my Feadóg D whistle?
Every time the ice cream truck drives by, it’s playing that tune and my kids go crazy! But the thing is, we’re on a single income and a tight budget and for the price of the two ice creams my jedis would buy, I can buy 12 eskimo pies from Aldi’s!
So I figured I’d get the music, learn it and serenade them while they eat the reasonably priced ice cream from Aldi’s!
Life should be full of these simple pleasures…tight budget or no. And I admire the ice cream truck driver for his entrepreneurial spirit. I just can’t find it in me to fork out that much money, even if the ice cream does look like a space alien.

I’m afraid Tony is right on about the copyright and the Mouse still has it gripped tightly in his avaricious little fingers, so you won’t find it for free. But if you start the verse on the lower octive fourth finger, you’ll be in D and will end up with the chorus starting on D and no half-holing. Oh, hell, hang on a minute while I go get the words . . .
It’s a world of laughter, a world of tears

It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears

There’s so much that we share
F# G A D’ E’ F#’
that it’s time we’re aware
D’ C# B E’ F#’ G’
It’s a small world after all.

At least that’s how I remember it from my kids’ Cub Scout song ("We are Cub Scouts, after all . . .).
Sorry if the notation sucks, but I don’t know how to do it correctly. But if you can make sense out of it, then we both have the satisfaction of having kept another $3.95 out of the grasping coffers of corporate america. Spend it wisely – it ought to cover at least one box of ice cream bars.
Drat, now that song’s in my head, too.
And after viewing how this posted, double drat. The notes were all neatly lined up with the words in the edit window, but not when it posted. Again, my apologies for not knowing correct annotation. I wouldn’t have bothered with this, but the prospect of screwing the Mouse out of a couple of bucks was too much to pass up.

It’s a Small Word is the most evil tune known for its ability to get stuck in the mind. The German phrase for such a stuck tune translates as a brain worm! My brother Fred has an absolutely brilliant way to get tunes out of the mind; sing it out loud and in till it goes away; fighting it only makes things worse.
