==Lyrics==
A million, million people are happy, 
Bright and gay
The bells are ringing in the steeple, 
It's a public holiday
All the world is so delighted
And the kids are all excited
'Cos the stork has brought a son and daughter 
To Mister and Missus Mickey Mouse
All the mayors and corporations, 
Have declared such jubilations,
'Cos the stork has brought a son and daughter 
To Mister and Missus Mickey Mouse
Pluto's giving a party 
And before the fun begins
He'll present a gorgonzola 
To the father of the twins
Mister Preacher's eyes are glistening, 
And he's fixing up a christening,
'Cos the stork has brought a son and daughter 
To Mister and Missus Mickey Mouse
There's a crowd around the house
Of Mister Mickey Mouse
Their cheering splits the air
Now, let's see who is there
I'm Percy Pig, the postman and I bring the telegram
I'm Charlotte Sheep and I have come to see the little lambs
I'm Donald Duck, just waiting till my verse, I can recite
I'm Henry Horse and I have brought my band to play all night
I'm Gertie Goat, the punster timing all the cars that pass
I'm Bertie Bleat, the donkey I am a silly ass
But who is this approaching just when all the fun begins?
It's Willy Wolf, the wicked man, he's come to get the twins
Hello, twins, nice little twins
Oh, save my son and daughter!
We'll drench this sky with water!
I've got more than I ought a
Let the parties go on, boys
The bad old wolf has gone, boys
And we had to save the son and daughter 
Of Mister and Missus Mickey Mouse
