be an artiste...

if you weren't

nervous.

I'm not pretty.

Says who?

You can be whatever you want

if you believe in yourself.

Show me some grit and guts.

Come on, honey.

Give me a smile.

Oh, no, no.

Sweetheart, you can

do better than that.

Think of something

real nice.

I want you to reach

deep down...

and find the most beautiful

thought that's in your heart.

Oh, beautiful.

Um.

Tonight, Tanya,

forget you're in this cowpie

hole-of- an-olive-pit town.

You're with your fella

at the El Purrocco club.

You're on that stage,

and he has a front row seat.

You're singing your heart out

just for him.

There are things there

I miss so much.

[Kiss Sound]

I've forgotten why I left.

So much for regrets.

- So, do you like yourself?

- I look like a real lady.

Remember, the real lady

is what's under the mask.

Now go

knock 'em dead.

[Chula] Oh, dear, oh, dear.

He's not cookin'evenly.

[Humming]

Yeow!

[Cat R. Waul]

Gentle creatures, I have arranged...

for a special preview

of the artistic virtuosity...

that will become of

commonplace on this stage.

Allow me to present

the divine diva,

Miss Tanya!

[Clapping]

[Cat Laughing]

- I can't do this.

- Sure you can.

If anyone throws so much

as a radish at you,

I'll slap 'em so hard

their meow'll fall off.

# [Fanfare]

Huh?

Oh.

A mouse!

Throw the mouse out of the house!

# Do you ever miss... #

[Booing]

The boss has hit the catnip again.

What's wrong with the boss?

# Do you ever

miss the girl #

# You left behind #

Gosh!

Gosh!

Gosh!

# Is the girl you left behind

out there tonight romancin' #

# Makin' eyes at someone else and singin'

Is she dancin' #

[Chula] Come back mouse!

You wouldn't want me to miss dinner!

# Puts teardrops in your eyes

from secrets she is keepin' #

I'm blind!

Help, Tanya!

# Have the fiddlers play a

tune and dance the night away #

I'm not here,

you pointed head.

# You know you'll always

miss her #

# Lonely is the lover's heart if only you

could kiss her kiss her, kiss her #

Come here!

Come here! Aah!

[Cowboy]

Durn mouse!

Bugger face!

#Just don't leave 'em too darn long,

I think I oughta warn ya #

#Absence makes the heart grow cold

and makes a heart to wander #

# If you stay by their side

you'll feel their hearts grow fonder #

# Hope you see her someday

Hope I find my way #

# Back to the girl

I left behind #

#Tell me you will never roam #

#We swear we won't go roamin' #

#You'll be by your fireside #

#We'll all be home sweet homin' #

# Kiss her

miss her, kiss her #

# Inky-dinky spider

caught a mouse in his web #

#The inky-dinky spider

bit off the mouse's head #

Hee-hee-hee!

Ow! I'm in pain!

#Where's the girl you left behind #

# She's waitin' for her sister #

#We won't stop until we're home

We'll hug and kiss her #

# I'll find the girl

I'll find the girl #

# I'll find the girl

I'll find the girl I left behind #

#Tonight, tonight, tonight

That's right, all right #

[Applause And Cheering]

Encore, encore!

[Sneezes]

[Cheering]

Tanya, let's

get out of here.

I must stay.

My public needs me.

I can't leave you.

It's dangerous.

"Thank you for your...

a-du-lation."

Tanya.

[Wylie]

What's the matter, son?

Did you ever know something

important but nobody will believe ya?

Boy, I wish

Wylie Burp was here.

You do?

Well, then,

he... he... he's right here.

Where?

The old dog's right under your whiskers.

[Snoring]

Read the badge, son.

"Wylie Burp, Sheriff."

Wow!

We need you, Sheriff Burp.

The cats are gonna turn us into

mouseburgers. You gotta help us now!

Let this

sleepin' dog lie, son.

Doggone it, I'm dog tired. I'm

tired of leadin' a dog's life...

and fighting like cats and dogs

against cats and dogs,

and young pups doggin'

my trail trying to become top dog.

I'm goin' to the dogs

in a dog-eat-dog world, son.

I'm so far over the hill,

I'm on the bottom

of the other side.

[Snoring]

But you know,

I think I might

be able to help ya.

How? We've only got

'til sundown tomorrow.

Gotta find me a dog.

I'll teach him the stuff.

I'll make a hero

out of him.

I don't know

any dogs...

but I do know

a god!

Oh, no, I can't.

You got the wrong cat.

I am a god of eternal peace

and cosmic love, my friend.

But why argue?

I'm here, you're here.

We're all here.

But we're going to Green River.

You're going to Green River.

I'm gonna stay right here.

So, you know, give my

regards to everybody.

[Purring]

Too bad...

because there's a very, very

pretty cat there you might remember.

My darling baby

bubby-bunka- boo.

[Purring]

Oh.

You convinced me!

What do I gotta do?

Ah, it ain't nothin' much.

You just gotta pretend to be a dog!

A dog!

You got it.

A dog!

Tiger...

anyone can be a god, but...

it takes grit to be a dog!

So you're the frivolous feline

I've got to whip into shape?

I've got my work

cut out for me.

I don't have to listen to this.

I... am a god!

Yeah?

Yeah!

- Yeah? Yeah?

- Yeah! Yeah!

I don't have to listen

to this. I'm a god!

Fetch, dog.

- Moi?

- [Snarls]

Aah!

[Humming]

[Giggling]

Hmm.

No, no.

All wrong.

What did I do wrong?

You want me to dribble all over it?

You wanna act like a dog,

you gotta think like a dog...

'til you smell

like a dog.

No self-respecting dog

fetches anything,

unless he's good

and feels like it.

You wanna intimidate someone,

give 'em the la-a-zy eye.

Gee, I'm afraid to ask.

Okay, what's the la- a-zy eye?

The la-a-zy eye!

Wah!

Woof.

Now you do it.

[Grunting]

[Yelling]

Hopeless.

[Grunting]

Now, lemme

see you walk.

You're wiggling

like a French poodle.

Get down on all fours and get

a snoot full of mother earth.

Yuck! That goes

against my grain.

Yech!

Roll, you varmint. Roll.

Give yourself

a dirt bath.

Now you're gettin' it.

C'mon. We're rootin' for ya.

Get up. Suck in

your paunch, boy.

Saunter on out there,

one leg in front of the other,

slow and easy.

Woosh!

I hurt myself.

If you're gonna act like a dog,

you gotta sound like a dog.

Let's hear you bark.

[Sputters]

Well, go ahead.

Bow-wow.

Bow-wow?

It's more like... bark!

Bark.

No, again.

Woof.

Again.

Woof! Rawf!

Raft! Racket!

Rap! Rapscallion!

Rumpelstiltskin!

Redincta gracio, amore!

Oh, this is

embarrassing.

Try growling.

Grr!

Grr-rrr.

[Growling]

[Fievel] C'mon, Tiger.

We're running out of time.

Now...

[Roars]

Bark!

[Echoes]

Woof, woof!

[Echoing]

Woof, woof!

Bow-wow-wow-wow-wow.

Ha-ha-ha- ha.

Woof-woof-woof!

Grr!

Grr! Bark, bark!

Bow-wow!

Bark-bark,

bark-bark-bark.

Woof-woof-woof.

Bark-bark-bark.

Bark-bark-bark.

Woof-woof-woof.

[Barking Noises]

Woof!

Ten-hut!

Grr.

- [Gasps]

- Who?

[Cat R. Waul]

Jolly good. Now pay attention.

Cats and gentle mice,

lend me your ears.

It is my distinguished pleasure

to invite all of you...

to share our

dinner... triumph!

To share our triumph!

Today we herald in

a momentous...

new feast... ival.

"Feastival..." festival.
