One day, the president was on the show
The kids were all excited as the car came up the road
They all lined up to greet him in their sweaters and their shoes
He shook their hands one by one, they said, "How do you do?"
They were to ask him questions on the set
She asked about the grandkids, did they get to keep a pet?
In fact, they had two cats which he thought were oh so dear
Her name was Louise, she was the only black Mouseketeer
In the second year on Halloween
They all wore their costumes for a certain dance routine
Someone tripped and others fell, they just laughed so hard
They left it as it was and went out early to the yard
She was dressed as if for masquerade
The gown was from the studio, they headpiece was handmade
One of the boys, he looked again, he felt a sudden stir
It was the first time he knew that he was sweet on her
In New York City, 1962
Classes from Strasberg, scholarship to N.Y.U.
At the studio before this chapter did begin
They had a wrap party for a film that she was in
With one friend, she went down in the vault
They saw some of their old things and a picture of them with Walt
He was at the party and when she went to go
He gave her a big hug and said, "I always loved you so"
For many years, folks said excuse me please
I have to ask, could you tell me if you are Louise?
I can't believe it's you, I can't believe you're standing here
It meant so much to me to watch you as a Mouseketeer
