Hail, Hail Freedonia
The Mickey Mouse country of Freedonia has financially collapsed and is begging benefactors to lend it money to stave off bankruptcy. To pull it out of this terrible crisis, Freedonia appoints as its leader the 'progressive, fearless fighter' Rufus T. Firefly, a man with a thick moustache and bushy eyebrows, who declares:
The last man nearly ruined this place
He didn't know what to do with it
If you think this country's bad off now
Just wait till I get through with it
The country's taxes must be fixed
And I know what to do with it
If you think you're paying too much now
Just wait till I get through with it.
