In this episode we start with some audio recorded on the Mousefest 2007 trip with the ToonTown Tuners before hopping back in time to 2002 for a Rootin' Tootin' good time in the old west, then return to Main Street for a very fun ensemble performance of the Citizens of Main Street USA backed up by the Toontown Tuners.

Notes and Links

The Ballad of tourist Ted

• Come and listen to my story bout a tourist named Ted
• Made his kids a promise when tucked them into to bed
• "said you've been mighty good my little boy and girl"
• so he loaded up the mini-van to drive to Dis-ney Worrld
• (as an aside, while jingles vamps) straight through, no stops, you shoulda gone before we left the house, mom she's touching me, and everybodys' favorite, say it with me, (full crowd joins in) "Are we there yet?"
• Well First thing you know there drivin into town
• all you see are smiles, no one has a frown
• there gonna have a real good time, except for dear old mom
• They've only been here one day and the moneys almost gone
• now that they've been here a while they know just where to go
• Magic Kingdom, Ep-cot Center and the stu-di-os
• They'll extend their stay one more week they have such fun so far
• they might just stay forever cause they still can't find their car
• (as an aside) Honey Where'd we park I told you to write it down
• Well folks we're mighty glad you've come to see our little show
• and while you're here we think theres something that you oughta know
• we know that you're not really here to watch us play and sing
• we know you're really here for the air con-di-tion-ing!

The Citizens of Main Street USA

For the first two songs the Toontown Tuners were playing solo over on the hospitality House side of Town Square. At he end of their second song the Fire Engine pulls up with Mayor and Chief Miller, the Tuners board the Engine and they all ride over to City Hall (as the tuners are playing Hot Time in the old Town Tonight). Upon arrival Chief Miller introduces the whole group which now includes the suffragettes as "the Citizens of Main Street", as the full cast launches into "Down on old Main Street". After the song when \ Mayor Weaver tries to announce for re election the "Main Street Womens Auxiliary" steps up, after their rendition of Sister Suffragette, the Mayor is fine with them getting the vote as long as they vote for him, but when he once again launches into "campaign mode" questions arise about accusations against the mayor of corruption, which he handles humorously with the song "little tin box". When the song ends, he returns to making more typical (but still humorous) campaign promises. Then stumbles on the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, so the whole cast helps him with it (in song of course). Following that they close with a short and fitting reprise of "Down on old Main street". The singing citizens then talk with the guests a bit while the tuners march off (I chose to follow the tuners).

• The Entertainer - tuners
• Maple Leaf Rag - tuners
• Hot time in the old Town - tuners
• Down on old Main Street - full cast
• Sister Suffragette - full cast
• Little Tin Box - full cast
• Supercalifragilistic - full cast
• Minnies yoo hoo
• Mickey Mouse March

As the tuners march off stage you can hear a Trolley show starting up the street, isn't Main Street great?
