Melody Time Little Toot

from Melody Time movie, written by Allie Wrubel and performed by The Andrews Sisters
Featured in this epic is a ship of proud design. It's not this ocean liner, we take a different line. With a huff, a puff, a chug-chug-chug and a perky little hoot, we introduce our hero, the tugboat, Little Toot.

Little Toot was just a tug. A happy harbour tug. He came from a line of tugboats fine and brave. But it seems that Little Toot. Simply didn't give a hoot. Though he tried to be good. He never could behave. Heave-ho, my lad! I'm a big toot just like my dad. Pull big boats with a yo-heave-ho. And away we go. Chug-a-chug-chug-chug. He made the ocean liners wait. While he made a figure 8. With the greatest of ease. He cut through the seas. He went too far one day. He slid in Big Toot's way. And it wasn't a joke. For it nearly broke. Big Toot's pride. Won't you ever grow up, Little Toot? When there's work to be done. All you think of is fun. Won't you ever grow up, Little Toot? Little Toot had quite a scare He decided then and there That he'd try to be good As good as he could be So when his dad came puffing slow With a mighty ship in tow Little Toot went to help him Take it out to sea Heave-ho, my lad! I'm a big toot just like my dad Push big boats with a yo-heave-ho! When you get into trouble You get into it double What a shame, what a shame You've disgraced your father's name He was drifting all around When a storm came crashing down In the billowing sea he tossed He was filled with fear He knew the rocks were near With the waves in pursuit Little Toot knew all was lost Then he saw a rocket's flare Bursting in the air And he suddenly knew That he must do or die A ship was in distress As he puffed an SOS He raced to the rescue Of the ship nearby Try! Do or die! It seems you've grown up, Little Toot Toot toot! You're a brave You're a brave Little Toot Can't you hear that cheering crowd? You have made your daddy proud You are now a big toot, Little Toot Yes, you're now a great big toot, Little Toot!
