Someone asked about this deleted song from Dumbo, so enjoy your request! I thought that as another pep talk in Make Way for Miss Nettle, James and Sofia could try to convince Desmond not to be afraid of facing their enemy. I do not own Dumbo; that classic movie is owned by Disney.
James: When the going's getting rough,
And old man's trouble getting tough.
Stand right up and call his bluff.
"Are you a man or a mouse?"
Desmond (spoken): Got any cheese?
James (spoken): This is no joke, Des.
Sofia: Keep a good stiff upper lip,
And never, never lose your grip.
Don't give up the good old ship.
Are you a man or a mouse?
Desmond (spoken): Squeak-squeak?
(Instrumental Break)
Sofia (spoken over instrumental break): Desmond, we know you're scared, but this is important! The fairies are counting on us, and that means they're counting on you!
James: Be like that Pagliacci lad,
And learn to smile when things are bad.
Give your pants another hitch,
And stay right in there and pitch.
(Whistling Medley)
James and Sofia: Are you a man or a mouse?
Sofia: Don't give up and say you're through,
'Cause that's not like the likes of you.
Kick your troubles black and blue.
Are you a man or a mouse?
James: (Speaking as he sees Desmond's new look of determination) That's it! Don't frown!
Just clown, and laugh at stormy weather! Look up, not down!
And pull yourself together, brother!
Sofia: Wear a million-dollar grin,
Ya gotta lose as well as win.
Learn to take it on the chin.
James and Sofia: Are you a man or a mouse?
