Jose (originally red, white, and green - voiced by Wally Boag):
Awwwahhh...
My siestas are getting 'chorter and 'chorter.
Oh look at all the people!
Welcome to Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.
Hey Michael mi amigo, pay attention - it's 'cho time.

Michael (originally white and green - voiced by Fulton Burley):
So it is, and what darlin' people I have sittin' under me.
Pierre you rascal you, let's put on the show.

Pierre (originally red, white, and blue - voiced by Ernie Newton):
Mon ami, I am always ready, as you say, to put on ze show.
(wolf whistle) Oh, pardon madam, that whistle was for my good friend, Fritz.

Fritz (originally red, black, and white - voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft):
Ach du liebe! I almost fell out of my rubber (number?) perch.
Glad to see you all aboard, er, ashow, or hehehe, wherever you are!
Mien goodness, you're all schtaring at us - we better start the show rrrolling.

Michael: Wait, wait, we forgot to wake up the glee club (shrill whistle).

(birds start chirping and the room fills with the sound of singing birds)

Jose: Ole, ole it's 'cho time.

All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
Jose: All the birds sing words,
Michael: And the flowers croon,
All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.

Michael:
Welcome to our tropical hideaway, you lucky people you,
If we weren't in the show starting right away, we'd be in the audience too.

All: Altogether!
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
Jose: All the birds sing words,
Michael: And the flowers croon,
All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.

Fritz: I sing so beautiful, I should sing solo.
Jose: Si, so low we can't HEAR you.

Pierre: My voice may not be so marvelous, but my profile is out of this world.
Michael: Jawohl, but the trouble is - it's not FAR enough out of this world.
Isn't that right Herr Schmidt? Whoo hoo!
I see Schmidt has no hair! ('Schmidt' is Wally Boag?)

Jose: Mi amigos stop the cl__________g, you sound like a bunch of old hens.
There's a lot of birds waiting to go on. For instance:

Michael: The boys in the back are called macaws.
Jose: Because of their claws?
Michael: No because they're macaws!
And our fine feathered friend is a jolly toucan,
and two can sound better than one toucan can.

(toucan hooting)

Michael:
The bird of paradise is an elegant bird,
It likes to be seen, and it loves to be heard.
Most little birdies will fly away,
But the Tiki Room birds are here everyday.

All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
Jose: All the birds sing words,
Michael: And the flowers croon,
All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.

Michael:
Our show is delightful, we hope you'll agree,
We hope that is fills you with pleasure and glee,
Because if we don't make you feel like that,
We're gonna wind up on a lady's hat!

All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
Jose: All the birds sing words,
Michael: And the flowers croon,
All: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.

Pierre:
Our magnificent production is yet to come,
So strum the guitar, and beat the drum.
We've been a hit, and we know you adore us,
So come on and join us in another chorus!

Everyone: In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,

Michael: A little softer...

Everyone: All the birds sing words and the flowers croon,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room.

Michael: A little louder...

Everyone:
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room,
All the birds sing words and the flowers croon,
In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki room!

(horns ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)

-------------------------- Offenbach interlude cut from show here...

Jose: Ah Ha! Applause! Applause! Si, that was crazy.

Pierre: Mes ami, such wonderful singing calls for applause.

Jose: Let's give the little birdies a great big hand.

Pierre: Qui! Applaud, applaud!

Fritz: Ja! You down there - mit both hands.

Jose:
And now señor and señoritas,
Please place yours eyes into the center, of the room that is,
We present the enchanted fountain...

Fritz:
Ack, ja, and the wunderba bird mobile.
It has birds on it, and it goes rrround and rrround.
That's why we call it a bird mobile!

Michael: Look! Here come the girls!

Pierre:
Madame and Monsieur, introducing the lovely ladies of ensemble,
Just like the Folies Bergere, with only feathers.
There's Colette, 'ello Colette, Suzette, hello Mimi, Gigi, Fifi, ah, hehehe, Josephine...

Jose: I wonder what happened to Rosita?

(birds begin to whistle)

Jose: And now, our national anthem.

Girls:

(everyone whistles and it gets faster, then a big orchestra finish)

Jose: Ah ha! Applause, applause, that was good.

Fritz: Wunderba, wunderba, give yourselves a hand.

Jose: A little applause for the girls, too...

Pierre: Ah, that was magnifique!

Jose: Si, no one laid an egg but me.

Michael: And now ladies and gentlemen, we have somethin' really big for you.

Fritz: Ja, the birds stand still, und the Tiki Room flies away!

Pierre:
Mon ami, quit talking while I'm interrupting.
Ladies and gentlemen, now we present direct from the islands, a musical luau!

(a=ah, e=eh, i=ee, o=oh, u=oo)

Flowers:

The gods have been angered by all the celebratin'.

I so very much wish they would reinstate the original version, I could be completely wrong, I just think Walt Disney would not like, in my opinion, the tacky, cheesy updated version. My 3 year old at the time did not like the birds shouting shut up and being mean and rude. A disappointment to me and my little one. :(

I can't stand the new show, I hate Iago.
I always listen to the first 50 seconds or so of the new show on the "Four Parks, One World" soundtrack...it's all I can tolerate. I much prefer the original 1980 soundtrack from the LP record where they actually sing the entire song all the way through without being interrupted! HAha. This attraction needs a serious overhaul!!

Having just sat through the "original script" version 3 days ago, it's going to be a long time before I can force myself to do it again. :lookaroun

I appreciate that Walt made this attraction, that it was cutting edge at the time, and all of that. However, it's a major snooze-fest that seems to go on forever. :lol:

The newer version in FL is so much more upbeat, and way shorter!

And crappier as well.

I'm not a fan of Iago either - although I have to admit that I don't remember the first one. I was probably very little the last time I saw the original, and then I didn't see the show again until it was refurbished. I like the beginning on the "Four Parks, One World" soundtrack too, and then I usually skip to the next song.

Thanks! This totally made me smile! :D

Yeah, it makes me smile too. I don't even need the words in front of me.

The Ipod is filled with DL and WDW attraction audio of all types.
Drives my wife nuts.
We put it in the car on shuffle with the other music and she just can't get away from it.
Every 4th song or sooner is some clip, like a barker bird from Pirates, or a monorail spiel, or the Dapper Dans, if not a full attraction.
I even have the individual tracks recorded from the attraction , and even multiple versions of CoP.

There are a couple of sets out there, a 6 CD audio set A Musical History of Disneyland and Disneyland: The First 50 years- A retrospective.

Sir, it sounds like you need your own iPod so you don't have to wait for the shuffle to get to the Disney music. I actually had a CD player in my car that ran off of flash drives, I had 3 Disney flash drives and the rest on another. Too bad some idiot stole my radio :(

It is my Ipod! DW isn't very tech savvy. She has an mp3 player, but has never used it.

Maybe my boyfriend and your wife need to start a support group. Same thing happens to us on road trips. He just looks at me and shakes his head when a Disney ride spiel somes on.

I am waiting for the first post when someone says "In the Tiki room, now it says xx when it used to say yy. They went and ruined it again!"

This post with the original script would seem to be a necessary first step in that process. You know the new one with not be exactly like the old one and people will still want the old one back.

Hi, I want to add to this discussion. Today I was at Disneyland and I requested to look at the transcript (this is a DAS service offering). I can confirm that it is "folks outside" rather than "boats outside".

Any more info? I read a few threads in the forum related to kamikaze...
...how, in the past 10-20 years, nobody ever thought about requesting the "Written Script" as part of the DAS service?
