Rock-A-Doodle Page #6

Synopsis: Edmund is a boy whose favorite story of Chanticleer, a rooster whose singing makes the sun rise every morning until the Grand Duke of Owls, whose kind despises the bright sun, makes him look like a fraud. With Chanticleer driven from his farm, the owls put it under a spell of perpetual darkness and rain. As Edmund's own farm floods, he calls to Chanticleer, only to summon the Duke himself who transforms him into a kitten to devour him. Rescued by Chanticleer's former friends Patou the hound, Snipes the magpie and Peepers the mouse, they go on an adventure to the city where the rooster had gone and became a great singing rock star!

- [Patou] Chanticleer had become a star.

I wanna rock, rock, rock

'til the day is through

I want to rock,

rock-a-doodle-doo tonight

I wanna rock, rock, rock

'til the morning light

Well it ain't right to rock alone

It takes two, I do believe

I'm gonna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you

To you

Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me

I'm gonna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you

To you

Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me

Rock-a-doodle-doodle

- [Patou] But not

everybody liked the King.

Goldie here was jealous of him.

- Less my manager's fee of 60%.

- Look, Pinky, I just have to know when.

- Oooh, Goldie, will you not

bother me with this right now?

You've gotta go on in two minutes.

- But I'm too good for the chorus.

What's he got that I ain't got?

- A voice.

I wanna rock, rock-a-doodle

through the night

I wanna rock, rock, rock

'til the morning light

- [Patou] Fortunately

for us, Goldie was a lot

smarter than she sounded,

and a lot nicer too.

She just didn't know it yet.

Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me

Rock-a-doodle, rock-a-doodle,

rock-a-doodle-doo to me

- Lookie, Goldie, when I

found him, he was a nobody.

Nobody wanted him, nobody cared about him,

but I picked him up out of the gutter

and now look at him.

Well it ain't right to rock alone

Everybody starts in the chorus. Goldie.

Of course, you could

give up show business.

- Pinky!

I wanna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you

Just like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me

- Thank you, thank you very much.

I love you, I love you.

(audience cheering)

- [Edmond] Now that we found him,

how do we get in to see him?

- [Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,

the King is leaving the building.

- Ow!

- Out of the way!

Move it, move it, move it!

Don't touch the frogs.

Try it, you won't get very far

We'll bounce you once, bounce you twice

If you get out of

line, we're not very nice

We'll bounce, bounce

you all over the place

Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce,

if we don't like your face

Get away from the star!

- [Patou] Chanticleer was a star alright,

but it's hard to be happy without friends

even if you are famous.

I reckon he'd be awfully glad to see us,

if we could just figure

a way to get near him.

- Aggravation.

- You were fantastic tonight, really!

What can I get for ya, kid?

You name it, anything

You want a beach house in Maui?

Ooh, I'll buy you the whole island.

Cars, yachts, what?

Name it, it's yours.

- Ah, thanks.

- Say, what's eatin' you?

- Well, I...

Well, I just don't know.

I guess I'm just a little

lonely, that's all.

- Lonely?

Are you crazy?

There's 20,000 people out

there screaming your name

and you're lonely?

(glass breaking)

I love this guy.
