Happy Working Song -Enchanted

Now this here song is from a movie that I completely adore and is probably way too underrated. I am referring to Disney's 2007 movie Enchanted starring Amy Adams. For those unfamiliar with the movie, in a nutshell it's about a young woman, Giselle who gets sent from her magical cartoon forest into modern day Manhattan in our world. The movie pays tribute to all the great Disney movies, as you will see in this scene (see video below) where Giselle cleans up the Manhattan apartment she is staying at (in a manner similar to Snow White cleaning the dwarves' cabin). She does so of course with help from her animal friends, which in this case are rats, roaches and pigeons. I hope you sing along! 
Here are the lyrics:

All right everyone, time to tidy things up

Come my little friends
As we all sing a happy little working song
Merry little voices clear and strong
Come and roll your sleeves up
So to speak, and pitch in
Cleaning crud up in the kitchen
As we sing along

And you’ll trill a cheery tune in the tub
As we scrub a stubborn mildew stain
Lug a hairball from the shower drain
To the gay refrain
Of a happy working song

We’ll keep singing without fail
Otherwise we’d spoil it
Hosing down the garbage pail
And scrubbing up the toilet
Ooh!

How we all enjoy letting loose with a little
La-da-da-dum-dum
While we’re emptying the vacu-um
It’s such fun to hum
A happy working song
Oo-ooh
A happy working song

Oh, how strange a place to be
Till Edward comes for me
My heart is sighing
Still, as long as I am here
I guess a new experience
Could be worth trying
Hey! Keep drying!

You can do a lot when you've got
Such a happy working tune to hum
While you’re sponging up the soapy scum
We adore each filthy chore
That we determine
So friends even though you're vermin,
We're a happy working throng

Singing as we fetch the detergent box
Or the smelly shirts and the stinky socks
Sing along
If you cannot sing then hum along
As we’re finishing our happy working song!

Ah...wasn’t this fun?


Here's that scene! (I want that poofy dress so badly!)
