Disney previously unveiled a new verse to the classic tune that songwriter Richard Sherman wrote before his death in May 2024.

Disney is making a change to the long-running theme park boat ride attraction that popularized the song. “ It’s a Small World (After All) ,” the famous song penned by songwriter brothers Robert Sherman and Richard Sherman, has a new verse that’s being added to the ride.

After nearly 60 years of being a Disneyland staple, the iconic “It’s a Small World” ride is getting a new set of lyrics for a new generation of park visitors. Disney Parks announced on its blog today that the updated lyrics will premiere at Disneyland in time for the park’s 70th anniversary.
