Whistlin' a Happy Tune

    SYNOPSIS
    Underdog notices that Bullwinkle's voice sounds “a little hoarse,” which of course leads Bullwinkle to clarify that he is actually “more of a big moose.” As he declares he has a “frog in his throat,” Hoppity Hooper pipes up, so to speak, until Rocky apologizes for his friend. As per Rocky's suggestion, Bullwinkle whistles the number while the rest of the gang sing about how whistling can cheer a person up. Boris is reluctant at first, but then joins in at the end. Rocky then plugs Bullwinkle's “famoose pizza.”

    LYRICS
    Announcer: It's magic time at Bullwinkle's Family Food and Fun Restaurant! And here's our star, the toast of Broadway, and the pepperoni pizza of Park Avenue, Bullwinkle!

    Bullwinkle: Hi there friends and neighbours!

    Underdog: Say Bullwinkle, you're a little hoarse!

    Bullwinkle: No, I'm more of a big moose!

    Rocky: He means your voice sounds funny Bullwinkle!

    Bullwinkle: Yeah! I must have a touch of lary... of larengy...of...I must have a frog in my throat!

    Hoppity: (plays harmonica)

    Rocky: Sorry Hoppity! He didn't mean it!

    Bullwinkle: But how am I going to do the next number? I can't sing!

    Boris: What else is new?

    Rocky: You don't have to sing Bullwinkle, you can just whistle!

    Bullwinkle: Whistle? You mean like this?

    (Bullwinkle whistles)

    Rocky: Alright/Right!

    Company:
    Just whistle our happy song, it's the merriest way to go!
    When you're feeling sad or you're feeling glad, or your voice sounds like a crow!
    Just whistle our happy song, it's the happiest way to be!
    When a frowner hears your happy tune, he'll smile just wait and see

    Chorus:
    If you just pucker up and blow, first one note, then the other
    Now you'll see the world will smile, especially whistler's mother!

    Just whistle our happy song, it's the merriest way to go!
    When you're feeling sad or you're feeling glad, or your voice sounds like a crow!

    Chorus

    (Whistling Interlude)

    Chorus

    Let's whistle our happy song and sound just like the birds
    It's the thing to do when you're feeling blue or if you forget the words!
    Let's whistle our happy song, just join in right along
    It's the thing to do if you're feeling blue even if you whistle wrong!

    Come on Boris, pucker up there's really nothing to it!
    It makes you feel so good inside...

    Boris: That's just why I won't do it!

    Company:
    Oh whistle our happy song, it's an easy thing to do!
    If a moose and squirrel can give it a whirl...
    If a frog and pup can pucker up...

    Boris: If a low down spy can whistle high...

    Company: Then so can you!

    Rocky: We gotta go now! Back in a bit! But first, here's a word from Bullwinkle about our famoose pizza!

    Bullwinkle: (Whistles)

    Rocky: You said it!
