- Narrator: For many years, England was ruled by a wise and good king, and the people flourished and were very happy, but by and by, the good king became ill, and a darkness fell over the countryside. As the king grew weaker, his captain of the guard, a ruthless and greedy man, saw his chance to rob and terrorize the people of England, and worst of all, in the king's name. It seemed that no one could save the kingdom of England from the thieving captain and his ruthless henchmen... until one day...
- Mickey Mouse: [trying to sell wood to a by-passer] Why, you can't cook dinner without a *fire*, can you, sir?
- Horace Horsecollar: Now, Donald, I'll have you know that I don't find your behavior amusing at all. If the prince is to assume the royal duties...
- Donald Duck: But he started it!
- Horace Horsecollar: Donald!
- Donald Duck: Aw, phooey! I'm always getting in trouble over that stupid prince!
- Prince: Captain! I say, Captain! What is the meaning of this uproar?
- Captain Pete: Just a local riff-raff, Sire.
- Prince: Even the lowliest subjects of this kingdom deserve respect! Have him brought to me at once!
- Prince: Well, Mickey, I must thank you for saving my life.
- Mickey Mouse: Saving your life?
- Prince: I was about to die of boredom when you interrupted me from my lesson.
- Prince: Do you know what it's like to be the prince?
- Mickey Mouse: Oh boy! It must be fun!
- Prince: I don't get a single moment to myself! Breakfast at seven...
- Mickey Mouse: Breakfast.
- Prince: Lessons 'til lunch...
- Mickey Mouse: Lunch.
- Prince: Fencing 'til tea time, and every night, banquet after feast after banquet!
- Mickey Mouse: Wow.
- Prince: And then, 9:00, bedtime.
- Mickey Mouse: Beddy-bye. Ahh...
- Prince: Oh, how I envy your freedom.
- Mickey Mouse: Well...
- Prince: Games all day long, no studying or reading books, staying up late as you like eating junk food. Oh, if I could take your place for just one day...
- [notices the two of them in the mirror]
- Prince: Yes! What a grand idea! Don't you see? It'll be perfect!
- [they swap clothes]
- Prince: I'll take your place with your friends in the streets of London, and you shall be the Prince!
- Mickey Mouse: The prince? I can't be the prince! How do I act? What do I say?
- Prince: You needn't worry, lad. To govern, you need to say only one of two things: "That's a splendid idea. I'm glad I thought of it," and "Guards, seize him!"
- Mickey Mouse: But your father, the king!
- Prince: I'll be back in the wink of an eye! And if there's any trouble, only know me by this.
- [shows Mickey his ring]
- Mickey Mouse: Wow. I'm not sure this is a good idea.
- Prince: You'll do fine, Mickey. Why, you're looking more royal already!
- [Captain Pete drinks beer in an underground chamber; one of his guards is with him]
- Weasel #2: Now, I may be losing my mind, Captain.
- [laughs]
- Weasel #2: And I know that you have said that time and time again, but all I know is he's acting like a nobleman, and he had the royal ring.
- [Pete burps]
- Captain Pete: The ring? So, it *was* the prince I booted out.
- Weasel #2: [spits out beer] You threw out the prince? Ha-ha!
- [sing-song]
- Weasel #2: You're gonna get it! You're gonna get it! Nyah-nyah, nyah-nyah, nyah--!
- [Pete grabs him by the throat; he gags]
- Captain Pete: Not if he doesn't come back *alive*!
- [laughs evilly]
- Dying King: My son, from the day you were born, I have tried to prepare you for this moment. I shall be gone soon, and you will be king. You must promise... promise me that you will rule the land from your heart justly and wisely.
- Mickey Mouse: I promise.
- Donald Duck: Your highness! Your highness! We're saved! Wait a minute... you're in here too. We're doomed!
- Archbishop: Be seated, sire.
- Mickey Mouse: After you.
- Archbishop: Oh no, beauty before age.
- Mickey Mouse: Oh no, age before beauty, your highness.
- Archbishop: Oh, your highness, you are such a sport. Sit down!
- Mickey Mouse: Got it.
- Archbishop: It is both my duty and pleasure to crown you...
- [Mickey avoids the crown]
- Archbishop: ... to crown you...
- [Mickey avoids the crown]
- Archbishop: ... I say, a rather wiry lad. So slippery! Would you hold still?
- Mickey Mouse: [shouts] Stop!
- Captain Pete: What the?
- Mickey Mouse: Look, I'm the prince, right? And whatever I order must be done, right?
- Archbishop: Yes.
- Mickey Mouse: Well then, the captain is an insolent scoundrel! Guards, seize him!
- Captain Pete: Seize him! He's an imposter!
- Prince: But I'm not, captain!
- Mickey Mouse, Prince: Oh boy, am I glad to see... I mean, what a time I've...
- [they both laugh]
- Archbishop: But, you see I... which... Oh, good heavens, which one is which?
- [Pluto comes running up to the real Mickey]
- Mickey Mouse: Pluto!
- [chuckles]
- Mickey Mouse: I guess there's no fooling you, boy!
- Archbishop: [prepares to crown the real prince] Therefore, I crown you Prince of England... Uh, King! King, king! King of England!
- [crowns him]
- Goofy: [singing] Give me a suckling pig / too make my belly big.
- Mickey Mouse: [singing] I'm just a little guy / Give me a pizza pie.
- Goofy: [singing] I have a happy place / Let's do the fireplace.
- Mickey Mouse: [singing] I'd like a hat to wear.
- Goofy: [singing] And thermal underwear.
- Mickey Mouse: [singing] It would be a feeling...
- Goofy: [singing] To have a royal ceiling...
- Goofy, Mickey Mouse: [singing] Doing everything a little bit like a king.
- Goofy: [singing] Like a king!
- Mickey Mouse: [singing] Like a king!
- Goofy, Mickey Mouse: [singing] Just a little bit like a king.
- Goofy: [singing] Just a little bit like / just a little bit like / just a little bit, little bit, little bit like...
- Mickey Mouse: [singing] I... would love to live just like a king.
- Captain Pete: [after the weasel lets Mickey into the courtyard after mistaking him for the prince] What do you think this is? Open house?
- Weasel #2: Captain, that was the prince.
- Captain Pete: [shows him the real prince] Then who's *that*, numbskull?
- Weasel #2: [referring to a chicken] It's for the king.
- Clarabelle Cow: But it's all we have!
- Weasel #2: Well ,then, it's all we'll take.
- Horace Horsecollar: Your highness, your father is in his last hours and wishes to see you at once.
- Mickey Mouse: We'd better tell the prince. He'd want to see him.
- Horace Horsecollar: You are the prince, sire.
- Mickey Mouse: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about that.
- Horace Horsecollar: Sire, he is gravely ill.
- [last lines]
- Narrator: So, with his royal companions, Mickey and Goofy, at his side, the young king ruled his happy country as he sworn he would: with justice and compassion for all.
- Weasel #2: [singing as they wheel away a cart of food confiscated from the villagers] Captain Pete! Captain Pete!, he never met a man he didn't cheat, cheat, cheat, cheat! He's the vilest villain that you'd ever want to meet, what a cad, super bad, our Captain Pete!
