We savagely

deny it

Magnificent

Miraculous

We certainly

certify it

And even

the great impresario

Of the grand opera

Raised an eyebrow

And tried and tried

to figure it out

[Italian Accent]

Hmm. This a-whale,

she's a-maybe swallow

the opera singer.

That's it!

This a-whale, she's a-swallow

the opera singer!

I find-a the great Signor Donatelli

in the fish market.

I discover the great Lilli Galli

in the honky tonky.

Then why not I find

the opera singer...

in the belly

of a whale, huh?

I do it!

Oh, get-a me

a great big schooner

And get-a me

a good harpooner

Photographers and reporters

from all the newspapers

Publicity

Publicity

Publicity

[Eddy]

Publicity, yes.

But to Whitey the sea gull, it was

opportunity, the big opportunity...

for his friend,

Willie the whale.

There was no time to lose.

He must bring

these two together.

Well, there was

Tetti-Tatti now.

And Tetti-Tatti

was in for a wonderful surprise.

Because Willie hadn't

swallowed any opera singer.

He could really sing.

Listen.

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin', shortenin'

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin' bread

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin', shortenin'

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin' bread

Two little children

lyin' in bed

One of'em sick

and the other most dead

Call for the doctor

The doctor said

Feed them children

on shortenin' bread

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin, shortenin'

Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin'bread

- Mammy's little baby

loves shortenin, shortenin'

- [Dinging]

Mammy's little baby

loves

Shortenin' bread

- Mmm!

- [Applause]

After all these years...

of casting his shortenin'bread

upon the waters,

- now, at last,

success lay just over the waves.

- [Seagull Squawks]

Willie! Willie!

Willie, look!

That's you, Willie.

He's looking for you.

It's your big

opportunity.

Willie's going to be

a great star.

Our Willie,

going to sing grand opera!

Good-bye, my friends

I'm off to be discovered

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

I'm off to be discovered

At last, the long years

of patient waiting...

and the endless hours

of faithful practice...

were about

to be rewarded.

As Willie sped

to his audition,

he wondered what he should sing

for his opening number.

What would impress

this impresario?

How about a bit

of"Figaro"?

Yes, sure,

"Figaro."

[Willie Singing

In Italian]

[Singing Continues]

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

There she's a-blows!

There she's a-blows!

Figaro! Figaro!

Figaro!

[Willie]

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro.

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro,

Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!

- [Squawking]

- Figaro!

[Willie Singing

In Italian]

Shoot-a the whale!
