What a Wonderful World is a 1967 song by Louis Armstrong. In Madagascar the song is played when Alex feels bad after going savage and goes to the Fossa territory while his friends witness just how unsafe the wild really is. This song is also used in the teaser trailer for The Wild Robot.

Lyrics[]

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I've seen them bloom
For me and you
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue
And clouds of white.
The brightness of day
The dark secret night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying,
"I love you".

I hear babies crying
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.
