Mickey Mouse Hoedown Script

As we are led to our log seats, we see a small dark green curtain in the center of the room,
a painting of Mickey's face in the center of it. As the doors to the theater shut, we hear
crickets chirping, frogs croaking, and bats screeching through the eerie darkness. An owl 
hoots as a wolf is heard howling to the full moon which rises above the theater. The curtain
thus opens to show Mickey and Goofy dressed in fishing gear as they roast marshmallows over
a roaring campfire, their small tent nearby. Goofy looks around frightened as the wolf lets
out another howl.
Goofy: Hey Mickey, what was that?
Mickey: That was a wolf Goofy.
Goofy: A WOLF? I wanna go home!
Mickey: Calm down Goofy, why wolves are our friends!
Goofy: They are?
Mickey: Yep! As a matter of fact, all animals are our friends.
Goofy: Well garsh I never knew that!
Mickey: See Goofy, we coexist with all creatures, we live in a grand circle of life that is forever
changing. As a matter of fact with a little magic I can take you all on a journey through 
these woods, so you yourselves can witness the circle of life!
Goofy: Sounds great Mickey, let's go!
Mickey: Alrighty then we're off! (Blackout. Mickey thus sings in the tune of "Yankee Doodle"
as we prepare for the first number)
Let's head out to the American woods
Where the bears and billygoats play.
We'll ride there on a riverboat
And stay around a day.
Let's sing with a crocodile
And maybe even a raccoon.
And if we're real lucky
We'll howl with a wolf at the moon! (A instrumental of "Yankee Doodle" plays as a spotlight
hits a turtle dressed as a fisherman, a bear dressed as a hunter, and the Geese Quartet dressed as farmers)
Six Critters: Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away
Dixieland.
Goose: I gotta gal and you got none.
Bear: Little Liza Jane.
Turtle: I gotta go and you gotta run.
Geese Quartet: Little Liza Jane.
Bear: Camptown races sing this song.
Goose: Doo-dah.
Turtle: Doo-dah.
Geese Quartet: Camptown racetrack five miles long.
All six: Oh the doo-dah days. (The spotlight moves over to a dog dressed like a cowboy,
that rests upon a Big Thunder Mountain-style peak, playing a guitar)
Dog: Oh, give me a land
Where the bright diamond sand
Flows leisurely down the stream
Where the graceful white swan
Goes glidin' along
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
Home, home on the range. (coyote howls off in the distance)
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouragin' word
And the skies are not cloudly all day. (A light shines on a railroad trestle where we see a
bunny and a coyote sitting in a mine car, rolling along the tracks slowly)
Coyote: I've been workin' on the railroad
All the live long day.
Bunny: Iv'e been workin' on the railroad
Just to pass the time away. (The car disappears behind a rock but then quickly speeds back
as a train is heard coming)
Geese Quartet: Here she comes,
Look at 'er roll
There she goes
Keep it cool
Watch 'er fly
Look at 'er sail
Let 'er by, by, by
The Fireball Mail
(The cart is heard crashing and exploding as the critters roll behind another rock. The same
spotlight quickly moves over to Mickey and Goofy who appear fishing far from their original
spot)
Mickey: And now...the Swamp Boys! (Mickey and Goofy stay as a stage near them rises to show
a jug band consisting of an alligator banging on an upside down washtub with bones, a smiling
wiener dog wagging his tail up and down on a washboard, a fox on the banjo, and a moose on
the corn jug)
Swamp Boys: Oh, I went down south
For to see my Sal
Singin' polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sally is a spunky gal
Singin' polly wolly doodle all the day
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
Fare thee well my fairy fay
I'm off to Louisiana for to see my Suzy-anna
Singin' polly wolly doodle all the day. (The Swamp Boys lower back down)
Goofy: Garsh, there's something I frankly forgot...
All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun... (Blackout. A single spot comes up on a tiny "house" at the top of the
gazebo. A smiling weasel pops out.)
Weasel: (Pop! sound) Goes the weasel! (He laughs mischievously, pops
back in and the doors slam shut. Lights back up on Mickey and Goofy, who
laugh.)
Mickey: And now the three caballeros! (A light shines on the
serape with Donald Duck on the maracas, Panchito on the pistols, and
Jose Carioca on the guitar)
Three Caballeros: We're three caballeros
Three gay caballeros
They say we are birds of a feather
We're happy amigos
No matter where he goes
The one, two, and three goes
We're always together
Jose and Panchito: Ahhhh!
We have the stars to guide us
Donald: Guitars here beside us
To play as we go
We sing and we samba
We shout 'aye caramba!
What means aya caramba?
Oh yes, I don't know
Three Caballeros: Ahhhh!
Through fair or stormy weather
We're always together
So let come what may
Like brother to brother
we're all for each other
The Three Caballeros
Forever we'll stay! (Their stage blackens as Goofy)
Goofy: Please welcome Kermit, the Frog! (Kermit appears on a lilly pad holding a banjo, not
too far from Mickey's camp)
Kermit: It's not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold...
or something much more colorful like that.
It's not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other ord'nary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
or stars in the sky.
But green is the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important like a mountain,
or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I'm green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be. (Blackens on both Mickey, Goofy, and Kermit. Suddenly
the weasel pops out of the distiller)
Weasel: (pop sound)...goes the weasel! Hee, hee! (A giant 
crocodile dressed as a cowboy rises from a swamp surrounded by a frightened toad, a scared
raccoon, and a fishing possum)
Toad: Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Possum: Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Raccoon: Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk a while
All three: Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
Crocodile: You better believe it. (Their lights go out as lights go to Isabella and the Fireside Girls)
Fireside Girls: We're Fireside Girls, one and all
And together we belong.
We wear our patches upon our sashes,
And stand cute, small, and strong.
This is the Fireside Girls song...
And it's not too terribly long! (their corner blackens, a mandolin strum fills
the air as we see a donkey on its hind legs appear in between two cacti overlooking a desert)
Donkey: Mama don't whup little Buford
Mama don't pound on his head
Mama don't whup little Buford
I think you should shoot him instead. (A black bear in a Mexican vest and sombrero ridden with
a bullet hole appears sitting on an upside down mine car pointing at his hat)
Bear: (Sings with a Spanish accent) Who shot that hole in my sombrero?
Who put that bullet through my hat?
Who shot that hole in my sombrero?
Who would do a terrible thing like that?
I can't figger
Who'd pull that trigger.
(Speaks) You don't reckon my wife could be back in town? (Blackout, the weasel emerges from the barrel of blasting
powder)
Weasel: (pop sound)...goes the weasel. Hee, hee. (Light to Goofy)
Goofy: Folks, it's time to continue with our scheduled program. Please welcome The Lake Hoohaw Funky Band! (Lights go to Peanut Otter, Jelly Otter, Munchy Beaver, Flick Duck, Ootsie Snootie, Bootsie Snootie, Pinch Raccoon, Scootch Raccoon, and Baby Butter Otter)
Jelly: You sing a note and I sing too
Sing it straight or curly-Q
Any honk or howl will do
For friends like me and you.
Lake Hoohaw Funky Band: We're all together, fur and feathers, just because
We're flappin' our wings and beaks and clappin' our Feet and paws
Yappin', yowlin', quackin', howlin', happy just because
We're friends and neighbors playin' loud, on Lake Hoohaw
Peanut: There's nothing better than a crowd
So play along and sing out loud
Like ripples moving cross a pond
Songs and friends go on
Lake Hoohaw Funky Band: We're all together, fur and feathers, just because
We're flappin' our wings and beaks and clappin' our Feet and paws
Yappin', yowlin', quackin', howlin', happy just because
We're friends and neighbors playin' loud, on Lake Hoohaw! (Blackout, they lower back down)
(The wind is heard blowing as the World of Color arrangement of "Firebird Suite - 1919 version" by Igor Stravinsky plays. A spotlight with the shadow of a mysterious creature from The Secret of Kells appears on the mist. Lights reveal Aisling and Pangur Ban.)
Aisling: You must go where I can not
Pangur Ban Pangur Ban
Nil sa saol seo ach ceo
Is ni bheimid beo
ach seal beag gearr
Pangur Ban Pangur Ban
Nil sa saol seo ach ceo
Is ni bheimid beo
ach seal beag gearr
You must go where I can not
Pangur Ban Pangur Ban
Nil sa saol seo ach ceo
Is ni bheimid beo
ach seal beag gearr. (Blackout. Lights go to Nicole Anderson who looks up in the sky at one glittering star)
Nicole Anderson: When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star as dreamers do...... (Blackout, lights to Mickey and Goofy in their
original spot. A light piano version of "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays as Mickey and Goofy
converse)
Mickey: See Goofy, the animal kingdom is full of wonder, just like ours'!
Goofy: Garsh Mickey, I would have never known!
Mickey: Well I'm glad you know now Goofy, it has been an honor singing with you. And all of
you folks out there as well, but before we go we have one more song for you guys.
Goofy: Sing along you all know the words! (A dixieland band version of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"
blares out as every critter in the show appears for the grand finale, minus the second pair
of Mickey and Goofy)
Entire Cast: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder,
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
Wonderful feelin', feelin' this way!
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
My, oh, my, it's a sunshiny day.
Plenty of good times headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay!
Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder,
It's the truth, it's "actch'll"
Everything is "satisfactch'll."
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay,
Wonderful feelin', what a wonderful...what a wonderful...
Oh what a wonderful day! (Blackout, Mickey's curtain closes and the house lights turn on as we exit back out into the streets of Critter Country)
Crouch End Festival Chorus: I seem to hear those gentle
Voices calling low
Out of the long long ago
Singing a song, a Song of the South!
