Dumbo

Synopsis: A young circus elephant is born with comically large ears and given the cruel nickname Dumbo. One day at a show, he is taunted by a group of kids, inciting his mother into a rage that gets her locked up. After Dumbo's ears cause an accident that injures many of the other elephants, he is made to dress like a clown and perform dangerous stunts. Everything changes when Dumbo discovers that his enormous ears actually allow him to fly, and he astounds everyone at the circus with his new talent.

Through the snow and sleet and hail...

through the blizzard, through the gale...

through the wind and through the rain...

over mountain, over plain...

through the blinding lightning flash...

and the mighty thunder crash...

ever faithful, ever true...

nothing stops him.

He'll get through.

Look out for Mr. Stork that persevering chap

He'll come along and drop a bundle in your lap

You may be poor or rich It doesn't matter which

Millionaires, they get theirs like the butcher and the baker

So look out for Mr. Stork and let me tell you, friend

Don't try to get away He'll find you in the end

He'll spot you out in China or he'll fly to County Cork

So you'd better look out for Mr. Stork

Look out for Mr. Stork He's got you on his list

And when he comes around it's useless to resist

Remember those quintuplets and the woman in the shoe

Maybe he's got his eye on you

All aboard! All aboard!

All aboard! Let's go!

Hike, ugh, hike, ugh hike, ugh, hike

When other folks have gone to bed

We slave until we're almost dead

We're happy-hearted roustabouts

Hike, ugh, hike, ugh hike, ugh, hike
