"Watch Out for Goofy!" is the seventh track on the 1979 album Mickey Mouse Disco. As the title suggests, it is about Goofy and how he is not a very good dancer.

The album's promotional music video featured a brief snippet of the song, set entirely to a clip from How to Dance. The full song also received its own DTV music video.

The song was also used, with slightly altered lyrics, in the first Walt Disney's World On Ice show, in which it plays over Goofy's introduction.

The song is briefly quoted by an interviewee in Mickey: The Story of a Mouse.

Lyrics[]

A night on the town, he's all set to get down and boogie, Goofy!
Dressed for the kill, he can't keep his feet still, he'll boogie, Goofy!
When the disco explodes into life,
When he's feeling the beat and the music's just right,
He falls on his face and he's out for the night, Goofy!

[Chorus]
So watch out, watch out for Goofy!
Watch out for Goofy, he's a disco demolition!
Watch out, watch out for Goofy!
Watch out for Goofy, we love him but he just can't dance!

He clears the floor when he walks through the door, Goofy, Goofy!
They head for the chairs cause he's no Fred Astaire, Goofy, Goofy!
When he asks a young lady to dance,
She sort of says yes, he jumps at the chance,
Then he steps on her feet, it's the end of romance, Goofy!

[Chorus]

Goofy: Watch this step! Ahyuck-yuck-yuck!
Whoa, pardon me! (EEEEK!) Oh, oh gawrsh!
(OH!) Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry! A-hyah-hah-hah!

[Chorus]

He trips and he falls and he bumps into walls, Goofy, Goofy!
But he gets up again and he never gives in, Goofy, Goofy!
Though he thinks he's second to none,
When it comes to dancin', he's not number one!
But he sure tries his best and he always has fun, Goofy!

[Chorus repeats and fades]
