Hero


Mr. trouble never hangs around,
when he hears this Mighty sound,

Here I come to save the day!
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will join the fight!

On the sea or on the land,
He's got the situation well in hand!

We know that when there's danger, we'll never dispair;
Because we know that when there's danger he is there...
On the land on the sea in the air.

We're not worrying at all
We just listen for his call
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way.

When there is a wrong to right,
Mighty Mouse will joint the fight
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!

Mighty Mouse Theme Song
(Philip Scheib / Marshall Barer) - circa 1955

Remember Mighty Mouse? He was quite the hero, as I recall.

After reading this, I was thinking that with nothing more than a simple name change, it could be used as someone else's theme song, too!

Jan! I fear you're waxing cynical:)

Linda..hmmm, let's see.

Cynical:
Having or showing the attitude or temper of a cynic: as a. a contemptuously distrustful of human nature and motives - those cynical men who say that democracy cannot be honest and efficient -

b. based on or reflecting a belief that human conduct is motivated primarily by self-interest - a cynical ploy to cheat customers

Yep, you could be right! LOL

Should I stop, and just wax my legs, instead? :)

Jan, I'm a little hesitant to ask if you quoted that from memory.I only find the courage to ask because I remember most of it from a longgggg time ago. But then in those days kids had such for heroes. I would run all the way home from school (all five miles of it in the snow )just to watch Mighty Mouse on our little black and white TV. Too bad we can never go back. DM

DM..I'd like to say that I did, but that wouldn't be true.

I did remember enough of the words to realize that it would be good theme song for a certain other 'hero' though! :)

I think they showed reruns of that cartoon in recent years..I always liked the tune of it!

Yes..too bad.
