"A Mouse Like Me" is a song performed by Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Minnie Mouse. Originally featured on the Silly Classical Songs album, it was later re-released on the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse soundtrack album. Its melody is based on Ludwig van Beethoven's composition, "Turkish March". The lyrics allude to some of Mickey's most famous moments, including Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, Brave Little Tailor and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Lyrics[]
Mickey: (spoken) Hmm. Gosh, just look at all these old photos.
Minnie: (spoken) Oh, Mickey. Why, you've certainly done a lot of interesting things.
Goofy: (spoken) Whatcha doin' in that one, Mickey?
Mickey: Riding on a roller coaster
Minnie: Sailing on a boat across the sea
Goofy: Here you are in Honolulu
Mickey: Resting by a big palm tree
Minnie: Drove a car through a raging blizzard
Goofy: Took a steamboat down the river
Mickey: Cleaned the gears of old Big Ben
When I played at golf I dressed in spats
Minnie: Won an Oscar
Goofy: Climbed a mountain
Mickey: Wore a feather in my cap
Directed a band with big brass buttons
Goofy: In a tornado - kept conducting
Mickey: All this opportunity
Was lucky for a mouse like me
Minnie: You were the captain of the space patrol
Goofy: The driver of a Model T
Mickey: (laughs, spoken) That was a pretty bumpy ride, you know
Minnie: Chased by a grizzly
Goofy: Kicked by a mule
Minnie: Wandered in Sherwood Forest with your band of merry men
Mickey: Here I'm a knight in shining armor
Wrestled with a rope and didn't win
Chased a chicken 'round the barnyard
Goofy: Never lost your famous grin (A-hyuck!)
Minnie: That brave little tailor was defiant
Found his courage and slayed the giant
Mickey: All this opportunity
Was lucky for a mouse like me
Minnie and Goofy (echo): Like he
Mickey: I'll try anything once or twice
That's the kind of mouse I am
I don't know what I'm doing
Goofy: But you're doing real good
Minnie: You're handsome, brave and awfully nice
Goofy: A mouse like you
Will always come out smelling like a rose
Minnie: Rode a camel through the desert
Mickey: I was a soldier - was a king
Goofy: A big-game hunter on safari
Minnie: You've been almost everything
Mickey: I was apprentice to a sorcerer
Goofy: Tried his spells but worked them worser
Mickey: All this opportunity
Was lucky for a mouse who wrote with a quill
Minnie: And cooked on a grill
Goofy: Tapped rat a-tat in tails and top hat
Mickey: I did all of that?
Minnie and Goofy: All this opportunity
Was lucky for a mouse like he
Mickey: Was lucky for a mouse like me (ha ha)
