Origins
It was a toy factory in Tanzania
Clones of plush companions entered the world
They were creating so much cheer
One of them, number 313, 323
So I hear
As it came off the assembly line
Acquired a soul from the stratosphere
And came to life
Resurrected, no fear
No fear
A moment in time, one of a kind
A wild became a captive
Soul swaddled in fur
Soft as cashmere
The end result was an ALAN
ALAN
But how exactly did it happen
No sooner it acquired a soul
Packed in a wrapping
It was considered sold
Riding air cargo, was that a joke
Over and beyond the jungle
Emotions invoked, its heart broke
Dethroned, alone
Crossing timezones
Its destiny unknown
Its destiny unknown
A moment in time, one of a kind
A wild became a captive
A soul swaddled in fur, soft as cashmere
The end result was an ALAN
ALAN
But how exactly did it happen
Oooh, it cried, as it took flight
One dark and stormy night
An African Inanimate hero
In the twilight
Headed where, it was uncertain
With all its might
One big breath
A giant leap
We don't know
Beyond the trees, we sank to our knees
Misty eyed, we bade farewell
For months on end, we prayed
We've told our story
And the rest is
The rest is history
Clones of plush companions entered the world
They were creating so much cheer
One of them, number 313, 323
So I hear
As it came off the assembly line
Acquired a soul from the stratosphere
And came to life
Resurrected, no fear
No fear
A moment in time, one of a kind
A wild became a captive
Soul swaddled in fur
Soft as cashmere
The end result was an ALAN
ALAN
But how exactly did it happen
No sooner it acquired a soul
Packed in a wrapping
It was considered sold
Riding air cargo, was that a joke
Over and beyond the jungle
Emotions invoked, its heart broke
Dethroned, alone
Crossing timezones
Its destiny unknown
Its destiny unknown
A moment in time, one of a kind
A wild became a captive
A soul swaddled in fur, soft as cashmere
The end result was an ALAN
ALAN
But how exactly did it happen
Oooh, it cried, as it took flight
One dark and stormy night
An African Inanimate hero
In the twilight
Headed where, it was uncertain
With all its might
One big breath
A giant leap
We don't know
Beyond the trees, we sank to our knees
Misty eyed, we bade farewell
For months on end, we prayed
We've told our story
And the rest is
The rest is history
