"Walt Disney"
CHORUS
Make way for Walt Disney!
Say hey! It's Walt Disney!
GENIE
Hey! Clear the way! That means you, Tri-Star!
Hey Fox!
It's the box-
Office profit czar!
Oh come!
Be the first on your block to see our show!
Make way!
Here we come
With tunes you can hum
And tales that you love and know!
It's Disney! Yes, can it be?
Walt Disney Pictures!
Now we're back on the right track
Take it from me.
Our films have drama and fun,
Just see the Oscars they've won.
So come and watch--you'll notice they're rated G!
It's Disney! Yes, you can see
Walt Disney Pictures.
Paramount just doesn't count,
Definitely.
We'll face Columbia down,
Run MGM out of town,
Universal can't claim the crown
From Walt Disney!
ROGER & ANITA
We've got one hundred one fine Dalmatians--
GENIE
Don't they look lovely, June?
SNOW WHITE
Seven dwarfs, yes, from Doc to Dopey--
GENIE
Fabulous, Harry, I love those numbers--
MICKEY MOUSE
Mister Stokowski's great orchestrations--
BELLE & BEAST
"Beauty and the Beast,"
To say the least, it's a Best Picture nominee!
GENIE [in counterpoint with RIVAL STUDIOS]
It's Disney! Full of money!
Walt Disney Pictures!
We should stash all of our cash
Rationally.
Well, Warner Brothers beware,
'Cause we aren't willing to share.
Give all the dough you can spare to Walt Disney!
RIVAL STUDIOS [reading critics' reviews and financial reports]
There's no question that Disney's successful
And that's making our lives much more stressful.
Everything about the film just plain impresses.
It's a winner, it's a whiz, a wonder,
While the rest of us are going under...
It's a situation that totally depresses!
DISNEY ANIMATORS
We've got Donald and Pluto and Minnie,
(Of course there's Goofy! Remember Goofy!)
Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty,
(They're beautiful! So beautiful!)
Tigger, Piglet, and one Pooh named Winnie,
(Proud to give life to 'em!)
We've earned major praise: give us a raise!
There are plenty of royalties for Disney!
Walt Disney!
MARY POPPINS & BERT
It's Disney! Chim-chim-che-ree!
Walt Disney Pictures!
GENIE
Heard our soundtracks have songs as lovely can be!
And that's why there's been a craze
These Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah days--
ALL CHARACTERS & DISNEY COMPANY
We've got the lock on Best Song and Score
The bare necessities
Are now so much more!
A small world's growing, and we're all crowing
For one mouse known as Mickey!
Make way for Walt Disney!
