"Home on the Range" is a classical western song, also known as the "unofficial anthem of the American West". It was composed by Dr. Brewster M. Higley in 1872.
In Disney media, a villainized parody appears by Percival McLeach from the 1990 film The Rescuers Down Under. It is a villainized parody of the original song, which was performed by Frank Welker, McLeach's singing voice (and also the voice of Joanna the Goanna) in the film.
Part of the original version of the song was sung by Grace in the animated film of the same name, and the full version appeared in Disney Sing Along Songs: Little Patch of Heaven.
Lyrics
McLeach:
Now sit down, relax, enjoy the view. Nothing but abandoned opal mines as far as the eye can see and dead ahead is home sweet home.
Home, home on the range
Where the critters are tied up in chains
I cut through their sides
And I rip off their hides
And the next day, I do it again.
Everybody!
Home, home on the range...
Oh, Give me a home
where the buffalo roam,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Chorus: Home, home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Oh, Give me a home
where the buffalo roam,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Chorus: Home, home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Oh, Give me a home
where the buffalo roam,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
How often that night,
when the heavens are bright,
with the light of the glittering stars,
have I stood there amazed
and asked as I gazed,
If their glory exceeds that of ours
Home, home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
Then give me a land,
where the bright diamond sand,
flows leisurely down to the stream,
where the graceful white swan
goes gliding along,
like a maid in a heavenly dream
Oh, I would not exchange
my old home on the range,
where the deer and the antelope play,
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word,
and the skies are not cloudy all day
