A Mouse Like Me

Hmm gosh, just look at all these old photos

Oh Mickey, why you've certainly done a lot of interesting things

What you doin' in that one, Mickey?

Riding on a rollercoaster

Sailing on a boat across the sea

Here you are in Honolulu

Resting by a big palm tree

Drove a cart through a raging blizzard

Took a steamboat down the river

Cleaned the gears of ol' Big Ben

When I played at golf, I dressed in spats

Won an Oscar

Climbed a mountain

Wore a feather in my cap

Directed a band with big brass buttons

In a tornado, kept conducting

All this opportunity

Was lucky for a mouse like me

You were the captain of the Space Patrol?

The driver of a Model T?

That was a pretty bumpy ride, you know?

Chased by a grizzly

Kicked by a mule

Wandered in Sherwood Forest with your band of merry men

Here I'm a knight in shining armor

Wrestled with a rope and didn't win

Chased a chicken 'round the barnyard

Haven't lost your famous grin!

That brave little tailor was defiant

Found his courage and slew the giant

All this opportunity

Was lucky for a mouse like me

Like he!

I'll try anything once or twice

That's the kind of mouse I am

I don't know what I'm doin'

But you're doin' real good

You're handsome, brave and awfully nice

A mouse like you will always come out smellin' like a rose

Rode a camel through the desert

I was a soldier, was a king

A big game hunter on safari

You did almost everything

I was apprentice to a sorcerer

Tried his spells but weren't them worser

All this opportunity

Was lucky for a mouse who wrote with a quill

And cooked on a grill!

Tapped rat a-tat in tails and top hat

I did all that?

All this opportunity

Was lucky for a mouse like he

Was lucky for a mouse like me
