Wild Goose Chase- Honk! Lyrics

Graylag:

WE'RE OFF ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE

WE WILL BE NO STRANGER TO DANGER THE SQUADRON WILL SHOW NO FEAR

Dot:

WE'RE OFF AND NO MATTER WHERE WE ROAM

ALTHOUGH THE MIND BOGGLES THIS GAGGLE IN GOGGLES

IS SURE TO FIND YOUR HOME

Graylag:

RUNWAY'S CLEAR

PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF, DEAR

WE MUST

PLAY OUR

PART

Dot:

HARK AT HIM

I FEAR HIS CABIN LIGHTS ARE RATHER DIM

Graylag:

CHOCKS AWAY

OUR AIR DISPLAY

MUST START

Graylag & Dot:

WE'RE OFF ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE

AND OUR SIMPLE MISSION POSITION THE WHEREABOUTS OF YOUR FARM

WE'RE OFF AND UNLESS WE'RE BLOWN INTO KINGDOM COME

WE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL WE'VE FOUND YOUR MUM

Dot:

(But we don't even know where his farm is, dear. How are we going to plan the route?)

Graylag:

(Don’t worry dear. I'll navigate!)

Dot:

(That’s what I was afraid of.)

All Geese:

WE'RE OFF ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE

IT'S A THANKLESS TASK BUT WE ASK

WHO COULD DO IT AS WELL AS WE

WE'RE OFF, TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM'S CRACKS

FOR WHAT COULD BE GRANDER

THAN HAVING A GANDER 

FOR AWOL MISSING DUCKS

Cat:

(Hello ducky! I thought I lost you.)

Graylag:

(Stand back or I'll peck!)

Cat:

(Ooh, be still my quaking legs, I'm going to be goosed!)

Ugly:

(What are you doing here?)

Cat:

(What are friends for? I’ve come to take you home. Your mother is carrying on some fearful.)

Ugly:

(My mother? You’ve seen my mother?)

Cat:

(Of course, she sent me to fetch you. Special envoy.)

Graylag:

(Listen here, cat. I am in command around here, and I have taken personal charge of the duckling's 

safe return to his mother.)

Cat:

(Well, I wouldn't try flying at the moment. Haven't you heard the guns?)

Graylag:

(We will commence maneuvers as soon as the shooting party is over.)

Cat:

(Well, maybe I could be of assistance. I'll go over to the shoot, and then I will let you know when they are packing up for the day.)

Graylag:

(Very well, but no funny business. I know several ways to skin your type.)

Cat [aside]:

(It's like taking candy from a baby.)

All Geese:

We're off on a wild goose chase.

Dot:

YOU MAY THINK IT ODD

THAT A SQUAD

SUCH AS OURS 

CAN PERFORM THIS ROLE

All Geese:

WE'RE OFF,

AND WE'LL PROVE THAT'S NOT THE CASE

Graylag:

AVOIDING THE ACK, ACK

WE'LL SEARCH FOR THIS QUACK, QUACK 

AND THEN RETURN TO BASE

(We're about to face the most perilous mission to date. I need hardly to tell you of the risks involved, 

or of the ultimate price we may have to pay. As we fly on to glory, I want you to know how very proud I am of this squad. Keep a stiff upper beak men, and remember our motto: "siempre victorium non pâté de foie gras"!)

Dot:

(Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My name is Dot. I am your senior flight attendant and on behalf of captain Graylag, I would like to welcome you to this afternoon's flight from Boggy Marshland to some far-flung farm. We will be cruising at an altitude of several feet and flying in a rather attractive V-formation. In the unlikely event of an emergency landing, we ask that you observe the safety procedures we've been through so many, many times before. We hope that you have a pleasant journey, and thank you for choosing Goose Air– “the fluffy skies!")

All Geese:

WE'RE OFF TO ENSURE THIS DUCKLING IS NOT SO GLUM

WE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL WE'VE FOUND YOUR–

Cat:

(The coast is clear. They're putting away their guns.)

Graylag:

(Do you swear?) 

Cat:

(On one of my lives.)

Graylag:

(Good. Alright men. Final check. Oh, and here’s a parachute for you.)

Cat:

(F-f-for me?)

Graylag:

(You don't think I’m going to leave you here with the duckling do you? Oh no, puss, you're coming with us!)

Cat:

(Oh cat litter!)

All Geese:

OUR WINGS ARE SPREAD

Ugly:

SO DON'T DELAY

All Geese:

OUR EXCESS BAGS ARE STOWED AWAY

Ugly & Geese:

IT'S TIME TO FLY

Geese:                                                          Ugly:

WE'RE OFF ON A WILD GOOSE CHASE     THEY'RE OFF TO TRY AND FIND THE FARM 
WITH A HAPPY ENDING IMPENDING         AND WHEN THEY FIND THE FARM THEY'LL FIND MY MUM 
IF WE CAN LOCATE HIS NEST                   AND THEN SHE'LL BE THERE FOREVER EVERY DAY

(LOCATE HIS NEST)                                    I’LL BE WAITING COME WHAT MAY

WE'RE OFF CHEERIO, GOODBYE,             SO I’LL SAY GOODBYE,

TOODLEPIP OLD CHUM                              TOODLEPIP OLD CHUM 

Geese:

WE WON'T BE BACK UNTIL…

Ugly:

WE WON’T BE BACK UNTIL…

Cat:

WE WON’T BE BACK!

Geese & Cat:                                                    Ugly:

We won't be back until we've found…

Your mum!                                                        My Mum!
