An American Tail: Mystery of the Night Monster
Music: Michael Tavera, James Horner
Lyrics: Michele Brourman, Amanda McBroom
Get the Facts
NELLIE:
When the night is dark
With shadows all around
And monsters everywhere you turn
There's a very simple secret I have found
That anyone with courage can learn
Get the facts!
All the whats and wheres and whys
Get the facts!
Simply open up your eyes
Seek the truth, find the proof
And your fears will all go poof
Follow the tracks
Get the facts!
Get the facts!
Stick your nose in everywhere
Get the facts!
Snoop it here and sniff it there
Find the clues, see it through
Do the best that you can do
Don't be lax
Get the facts!
Everyone's afraid at times
But if you use your wits
You'll find what once was scary
Is really very ordinary
FIEVEL:
Get the facts?
NELLIE:
Don't you listen to the gabble
NELLIE & FIEVEL:
Get the facts!
FIEVEL:
Not the balderdash and babble
NELLIE:
Don't give up on the goal
Til you've figured out the whole ball of wax
FIEVEL:
Get the facts!
NELLIE:
Learn to tell the difference
Between truth and fairy tales
For when it's all in focus
You'll find it's mostly hocus pocus
BOTH:
Get the facts!
NELLIE:
Keep your eye on every house
BOTH:
Get the facts!
FIEVEL:
On every dog and cat and mouse
NELLIE:
Shine your light, make it bright
BOTH:
Everything will turn out right
NELLIE:
Don't be lax!
FIEVEL:
Follow tracks!
NELLIE:
Give the boogie man the axe!
BOTH:
Get the facts!

Creature de la Nuit
MADAME MOUSEY:
From the creature de la nuit
The poodle of Paris
And nowhere in the world is there a dog more smart than me
I'm clever, chic, and wise
Don't judge me by my size
And if you give me trouble
I will rip out both your eyes!
You're fools to mess with me
The creature da la nuit
Without me you were starving
Living on scraps and rice
CATS:
Rice!
MADAME MOUSEY:
Now we're on our way to easy street
Soon we'll be rolling in mice
CATS:
Mice!
MADAME MOUSEY:
C'est moi who rules the street
Powerful, yet petite
Don't try to double cross me
Or I'll break your stinking feet!
So don't make light of me
The creature de la nuit
I may appear a mere poodle
CATS:
Poodle!
MADAME MOUSEY:
But deep in my heart I remain
CATS:
She remains
MADAME MOUSEY:
A Pitbull! A wolf! A Doberman Pincher!
Or better yet--a Great Dane!
CAT 1:
You know there's nothing like a Dane
CAT 2:
But what about that there reporter?
MADAME MOUSEY:
I will nab that nosey miss!
In a trap she can't resist
And then I'll give her pretty neck
A chic French twist!
So madmoiselle Nellie Brie
You must take me seriously
If Napoleon were a her with fur
He would be me!
I make no apologies
Je suis
CATS:
Not she!
MADAME MOUSEY:
Un formidable enemy
CATS:
That means she's bad
MADAME MOUSEY:
You pressy pussy cats agree
I'm the creature de la nuit!
En garde!

Who Will
NELLIE:
If you don't lend a hand
When a hand needs lending
Who will?
FIEVEL:
If you don't help your friends
When they need befriending
Who will?
When nothing goes right
And everything's wrong
When the days are too cold
And the nights are too long
NELLIE:
If you won't be there to stand and be strong
NELLIE & FIEVEL:
Who will?
TONY:
If you don't risk your neck
When a risk needs taking
Who will?
If you don't break the rules
When the rules need breaking
Who will?
You've gotta be tough
NELLIE:
And forthright and square
TIGER:
You can't hide your head
And pretend you're not there
FIEVEL:
If we don't fight for what's right and what's fair
Who will?
NELLIE:
Everyone has a hero hiding deep inside
Waiting to appear
But there is no time left to hide
The moment is now, the place is here
TONY:
Who will risk life and limb
Just to help a stranger?
I will
FIEVEL:
Who will walk through the dark
Even though there's danger?
I will
Who'll stay by your side?
TONY:
And take up the cause?
TIGER:
Who'll give you his strength, his heart, and his paws?
TONY:
Who'll be your back-up?
TIGER:
Your buddy?
FIEVEL:
Your friend?
FIEVEL, TONY, & TIGER:
We will
FIEVEL:
Fievel
NELLIE:
And Nellie
TONY:
And Tony
TIGER:
And Tiger
ALL:
We will
