After visiting my public library and checking out "The Disney That Never Was" I've been sucked into Disney history!

The book features from Chanticleer and Reynard; wartime propaganda films; early versions of Fantasia, and later efforts to expand elements of the film; and projects ranging from Hiawatha to Destino.
And when I saw Chanticleer, I knew I found the right book that fits me.
So since I have already done Chanticleer before in "The World of Forgotten Disney", I found the songs that were going to be used in the film that many say was "The Best Film Disney Never Made."

The song Chanticleer was written for the proposed 1960 film of the same name. Meant to open the film, it was to have been sung by all of the farmyard animals as they completed their morning routine.
Lyrics:
Farmyard Animals: Who brings up the morning sun?
Who makes all the chickens run?
Who is loved by everyone?
Chanticleer!
Over whom do we all fuss?
Whom does every girl discuss?
Someone who's so good to us
Chanticleer!
Chanticleer, Chanticleer
Il est tres populaire
Always charming, always gay
We're enchanted every day
And he keeps the fox away
Chanticleer!
(spoken): Ah Chanticleer, Bonjour!
Chanticleer (spoken): Bonjour, bonjour mes amies!
Ah tres jolie, ma petite poupee!
(sung): ' Who brings up the morning sun?
Who makes all you chickens run?
Who is loved by everyone?
Farmyard Animals: You! Chanticleer
Chanticleer: Over whom do you all fuss?
Whom does every girl discuss?
Someone who's so good to us
Farmyard Animals: You! Chanticleer
Chanticleer, Chanticleer
Vous etes tres debonair
Chanticleer: Am I charming, am I gay?
Do I thrill you every day?
Do I keep the fox away?
Farmyard Animals: Oui, oui Chanticleer!
Oui, oui Chanticleer!
Vive le, vive le Chanticleer!
Sings:
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
I couldn't resist, mate.

"Many of Disney's suggestions for the presentation of the song that would introduce Chanticleer to the audience anticipate the theatrical staging of "Belle," the opening number in Beauty and the Beast: "What we're doing here is a take-off of a musical comedy...Have your chorus line and have people setting out tables. Open and they come in, then Chanticleer enters: Like you'd stage a musical comedy."
No wonder it reminded me of the opening of Beauty and the Beast.
