The Greatest Star Of All

The Greatest Star Of All was a deleted song originally going to be sung in the 1977 Disney film, Pete's Dragon.
==Background==
The song was originally going to be a "Comic Opera" for a deleted villain known as Ferdinand, who sings to the film's antagonist, Dr. Terminus, where Ferdinand wants Elliott to be a celebrity. It was deleted in the film's final version because artist Ken Anderson advised the team that the script was too redundant to have two villains in the film, causing both Ferdinand and the song as mentioned above to be deleted in the final version. Despite being deleted, it can be found in the 2009 DVD edition of Pete's Dragon.
Al Kasha, the film's composer, sang a demo version of the song, recorded on February 11, 1976.
==Lyrics==
He'll open the show
Trumpets will blow
Crowds will be squealing
He'll walk in the wall
Fly through the hall
And lift with the ceiling
As strong as an ox
Smart as a fox
He'll be so appealing
I can make this dragon the greatest star of all
He will bring the house down with every curtain call
I will take this dragon and stake into a fine
Career...
I'll train him to flip
To hop and to skip
But I'm here to direct him (Don't try)
The rubric's right
An opening night
Of how they respect him (Goodbye)
The people were scared
Nothing but air
They'll never detect him
I can make this dragon the greatest star of all (He'll breathe fire)
He will bring the house down with every curtain call (No, I will not call him, no!)
I will take this dragon and stake into a fine (No!)
Career... (He's a menace, he's a monster!)
We'll paint in a story
Of glittering glory (He'll ignite you!)
He'll open a portal
That makes me immortal (He'll destroy you all!)
I've stored him the flames
My moment on the claim
Is here
He'll do as we'll choose
With banks and queens
They'll wine him and dine him (Big voice)
Forth run by the ton
He'll be number one
The minute I sign him (Not a dice!)
Glanced on the street
We'll fall on his feet
Someday, they'll enshrine him
I will make this dragon the greatest star of all
He will bring the house down with every curtain call
I will take this dragon and stake into a fine
Career...
They'll hear... (No, there won't! No, there won't!)
They'll cheer... (No, there won't!)
...for the greatest star of all!
