Mickey wanted Mr. Toad to get a decent fancy hotel, but they were all booked. Toad was happy just to be at All-Star Music. That night, he stood in his bathroom getting dressed in a suit that looks identical to the one he always wore. Mickey and Cyril sat in the bedroom.
"Toad, they invited you to Pleasure Island!" Mickey said to him through the closed bathroom door. "They serve alcohol there!"
"So?" came Toad's voice.
"If I know those ghosts, they have some sort of plot revolving around you! It's the only reason they bothered to save you earlier, and they're probably planning on getting you drunk!"
"My dear Mickey, J. Thaddius Toad never gets drunk!"
"I'm not sure...they can be very persuasive."
"Hey!" said Cyril. "I'm trying to watch Toon Disney! It's a lot better than the garbage they show on the regular Disney Channel! They show 'The Jungle Book 2' instead of 'The Jungle Book!' Where's the justice?"
Toad stepped out. "Well, I'm ready to go. How do I look?"
"Like you always do," admitted Mickey.
"Wonderful! Well, I'm off!" Toad hopped out the door.
"How come he isn't getting mobbed?" asked Cyril.
"I had to tell everyone that he's at a different hotel. I feel bad for the people at the Swan and Dolphin, though."
"Well, being trapped in a hotel by mad fans will teach them something. What they'll learn, I don't know..."
Mr. Toad and the ghosts sat in a small bar at Pleasure Island. "So, why do they call it Pleasure Island?" ranted Toad. "Who wants to go to a place where kids turn into donkeys? Bad marketing, that's what it is!"
"So, Toad, feeling a little tipsy?" asked Ezra.
"Not in the least! But I think I'll buy myself another drink all the same."
"And so it starts..." whispered Phineas.
"Here, have one of mine," said Gus, tossing Toad a drink.
Ezra finally cut to the chase. "So, how did you feel about Pooh's ride?"
"It was great fun! Not much like my old Toad Hall, but just as crazy!"
"So...you liked it?" said a stunned Ezra.
"Yes!"
"Darn. Uh...it's still kind of sad, you know. Look at Fantasyland in California. It had a great rehab that wasn't bad at all...but it cost you the Chicken of Sea restaurant."
"Look at what happened to the Tiki Birds..." continued Phineas.
"Can't forget Journey Into Imagination," added Gus.
"And now Toad Hall's gone..." sighed Ezra. He tossed Toad another drink. "Feel drunk yet?"
"A bit..."
Soft music began to play. "Yep, it really tears me up inside..." smiled Ezra.
(Sung to the tune of "A Guy Like You")
Ezra: Disney, our home theme park
Is
glowing this evening
True, it's caused by Illuminations
But
still, there's black light
Somewhere out there in the states
A
sad little heart waits
For a guy who will make his
Favorite
dark ride right...
A guy like you
They do need one, Toad
A
guy like you
You'd have a new fan everyday
You truly can
Make
a ride fun, Toad
Could there be two?
Phineas
and Gus: Like you?
All Three: No way!
Ezra:
Those other rides
That this
park features
All look the same
From ev'ry boring point of
view
We need Toad Hall
And weasel creatures
All Three: When in a car
We need a star:
A guy
like you
Phineas: A guy like you
Is true
and classic
Your cardboard figures
Have a
certain Disney feel
(Ezra: You're aces, kid)
Gus: Ride
it once
And it's
fantastic
All Three: Want something hot?
Ezra:
You've got
All Three: Appeal
Gus:
We all have seen
Expensive
coasters
Phineas: But then we crave a meal
More
nourishing to chew
Ezra: Listen to us
The crazy
ghosts, or
All Three: At times like this
They're gonna miss
A guy like you!Gus: Call me a hopeless nostalgic
But Toad,
I can feel it
Phineas: They need you so
Any moment, they'll walk through that door
All Three: For...
Ezra:
A guy so grand
(Phineas and Gus: It's really
great
Your ride is smashing)
Ezra:
At least, what we've heard
(Phineas and Gus:
What's not to hate
With cars nearly crashing)
Ezra:
In all the land
Who should command?
Why, you-know-who!
(Phineas and Gus: It's not too late
We'll
help out you-know who)
Ezra: And
speeding Toad
Phineas and Gus: Is always absurd
All
Three: When they want classic stuff
They'll
never get enough
There's just one thing to do
Go save Winnie
the Pooh
On that line, Toad got into a bus and drove back to the hotel to get a good night's sleep before tomorrow's big day pf "saving" his ride. The ghosts walked laughing into the bar and had a victory round of drinks.
All
Three: They really need a guy
Like you!
(Ezra: And
after all,
You'll save them from a fall
So they've gotta
love
A guy like you!)
