Not to be confused with "The Work Song'" from the final version of the film.
The Mouse Song is a deleted song from the 1950 Disney animated feature film Cinderella.
Development[]
During the mid-1940s, Walt Disney observed Cinderella who wanted to make clothes for mice who lived in the chateau. This element was included in the final version of the film and in the aforementioned deleted song, where the mice reveal their unique outfits.[1] However, the song was cut from the final version of the film.
Lyrics[]
One, two, three, four
Four little mice, how many more?
Five, six, seven, eight
Eight little mice with clothes
In fancy clothes, big fancy folks
As fancy folks keep saying
Just think what fancy clothes can do
For eight little mice rigged out, displaying
Hats, spats, silk, rug - that's
Petty coats and panties
If gentlemen and ladies have the right to put on heirs
A mouse should have the right to be proud of the clothes he wears
In London or in Paris
No one is ever better dressed than we
A million dollar heiress
Couldn't put on clothes more elegant to see
Our clothes are properly designed
Our shoes are neat and tiny
Although our tails stick out behind
The barber keeps them bright and shiny
I hate dress this way
How can we help concluding?
If gentlemen and ladies have the right to put on heirs
A mouse should have the right to be proud of the clothes he wears...
That he wears (3x)
