Peoplitis is a deleted song from the 1977 disney animated film: The Rescuers.
Background[]
It was to be sung by a deleted character, a bear named Louis to The Rescuers during a flashback in which Louie recalls a visit from Penny after adoption day at Morningside Orphanage after she tells him that she worries that she might never get adopted. Louis was to be voiced by the late Louis Prima (the voice of King Louie in 1967's the Jungle Book).
Lyrics[]
Louis: (scat intro)
Have you heard about this latest craze that's hit the human race?
They call it "Peoplitis" and spread it every place
Oh, Peoplitis people, they fuss and fight all day
Then on Sunday morning, they go to church and pray
Peoplitis, Peoplitis, why the things that people do
They're funnier than animals who live inside the zoo
The only major difference as far as I can see
I'll look at them for nothing, but it paid to look at me
(scats) La la la la la la le, scoo be do be do be dee,
Now, people think we animals who live inside the zoo
Are treated like an animal, well, that just isn't true,
'Cause all we do is sleep and eat, just take a look at us
I'll bet you'd never seen the skinny hippopotamus
Peoplitis, Peoplitis, oh the things that people do
Sometimes, it makes you wonder if they're wrong ones in the zoo
The men you see have all got beards, there are no faces left
They look more like the baboons than the baboon does himself
