“Savages” (Part 1 & 2) by David Ogden Stiers, Jim Cummings, Judy Kuhn, and Chorus from Pocahontas

[Ratcliffe]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Here’s what you get when the races are diverse
Their skin’s a hellish red
They’re only good when dead
They’re vermin, as I said
And worse

[English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
Barely even human

[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
Drive them from our shore!
They’re not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!

[English Settlers]
They’re savages! Savages!
Dirty shrieking devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!

[Powhatan]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed

[Kekata]
Beneath that milky hide
There’s emptiness inside

[Native Americans]
I wonder if they even bleed
They’re savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!

[Powhatan]
Killers at the core

[Kekata]
They’re different from us
Which means they can’t be trusted

[Powhatan]
We must sound the drums of war

[Native Americans]
They’re savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one

[All]
Then we sound the drums of war
[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!

[Ben]
Let’s go kill a few, men!

[Native Americans]
Savages! Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
Now it’s up to you, men!

[All]
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!

[Ratcliffe]
This will be the day …
(Let’s go men!)

[Powhatan]
This will be the morning …
(Bring out the prisoner)

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will see them dying in the dust

[Pocahontas]
I don’t know what I can do
Still, I know I’ve got to try

[English Settlers]
Now we make ’em pay

[Pocahontas]
Eagle, help my feet to fly

[Native Americans]
Now without a warning …

[Pocahontas]
Mountain, help my heart be great

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
Now we leave ’em blood and bone and rust

[Pocahontas]
Spirits of the earth and sky …

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
It’s them or us

[Pocahontas]
Please don’t let it be to late …

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
They’re just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking

[English Settlers]
Savages!

[Native Americans]
Savages!

[English Settlers]
Demons!

[Native Americans]
Devils!

[Ratcliffe]
Kill them!

[Native Americans]
Savages!

[English Settlers]
Savages!

[Ratcliffe]
What are we waiting for?

[All]
Destroy their evil race
Until there’s not a trace left

[Pocahontas]
How loud are the drums of war

[English Settlers and Native Americans]
We will sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)

[Ratcliffe]
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums

[Native Americans]
Now we sound the drums … of … war!
[English Settlers]
Of course it means the drums … of … war!

[Pocahontas]
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of war?

“Mine Mine Mine” by Mel Gibson, David Ogden Stiers, and Disney Studio Chorus from Pocahontas

[Ratcliffe]
The gold of Cortes
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys
Dig up Virginia, boys

Mine, boys, mine ev’ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig ’til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine
It’s gold and it’s mine, mine, mine

[English Settlers]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety …
Dig and dig and dig and diggety …

[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

[Ratcliffe]
Oh, how I love it!

[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

[Ratliffe]
Riches for Cheap!

[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
There’ll be heaps of it …

[Ratcliffe]
And I’ll be on top of the heap!

My rivals back home
It’s not that I’m bitter
But think how they’ll squirm
When they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court
Will be all a-twitter
The king will reward me
He’ll knight me … no, lord me!

It’s mine, mine, mine
For the taking
It’s mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets dug it…

It’s glory they’ll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine

[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
When all of the gold…

[Ratcliffe]
Is mine

[English Settlers]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!

[Smith]
All of my life, I have searched for a land
Like this one
A wilder, more challenging country
I couldn’t design
Hundreds of dangers await
And I don’t plan to miss one
In a land I can claim
A land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!

[Ratcliffe/English Settlers]
Keep on working, lands/Mine
Don’t be shirking, lands/Find a mother lode
Mine, boys, mind/Then find another load!
Mine me that gold/Dig! Dig! and diggety
Beautiful gold/Dig! Dig! for that gold

[All]
Make this island
My land!

[Ratcliffe]
Make the mounds big, boys
I’d help you to dig, boys
But I’ve got this crick in me spine

[Smith]
This land we behold …

[Ratcliffe]
This beauty untold …

[Smith]
A man can be bold!

[Ratcliffe]
It all can be sold!

[Ratcliffe/English Settlers ]

And the gold
Is …/So go for the gold
Mine!/We know which is here
Mine!/All the riches here
Mine!/From this minute
Mine!/This land and what’s in it is
Mine!

[Ratcliffe, Wiggins, and English Settlers]
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it’s mine!

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now,
Just now I ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now.

Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now,
Just now I got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now.

Called the doctor, called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now,
Just now I called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now.

Penicillin, Penicillin,
Penicillin just now,
Just now I took Penicillin,
Penicillin just now.

Operation, operation,

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

I’m adding a second video because this is the version I originally heard. It has some slight differences with the lyrics, but essentially the same song. Plus, you can hear a bunch of other songs I heard when I was young, because my parents actually had this audio cassette.

“Love Don’t Live Here” by Lady Antebellum

Well, this heart of mine
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I’m movin’ on
And you don’t haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name
Hey

Well, I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin’ through
To claim your lost and found
But I’m over you
And there ain’t nothin’ that
You could say or do
To take what you did back

You’ve got nerve to waltz right in
And think what’s mine is yours again

I been doin’ fine without you
Forgettin’ all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain’t the one that slammed that door
But now you say you’ve changed your thinkin’
But I ain’t got a heart for breakin’
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore
Oh, no

Well baby, you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify
Everything you did
But honey, I’m no fool
And I been down this road
Too many times with you
I think it’s best you go

Well, I got one thing left to say
Is you can lay in the bed you’ve made

I been doin’ fine without you
Forgettin’ all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain’t the one that slammed that door
But now you say you’ve changed your thinkin’
But I ain’t got a heart for breakin’
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore
No, no
Love don’t live here anymore
Oh no, oh no

Well you don’t live here anymore
Oh you don’t live here anymore
Oh no

“Push” by Matchbox Twenty

She said “I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved
By a hand that’s touched me, and I feel like something’s gonna give
And I’m a little bit angry”

Well, this ain’t over
No not here, not while I still need you around
You don’t owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, well I will

She said “I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don’t know why you couldn’t just stay with me
You couldn’t stand to be near me when my face don’t seem to want to shine
‘Cause it’s a little bit dirty”

Well, don’t just stand there
Say nice things to me
‘Cause I’ve been cheated, I’ve been wronged
And you, you don’t know me
I can’t change, I won’t do anything at all

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, well I will

Oh, but don’t bowl me over
Just wait a minute, well I kinda fell apart
Things get so crazy, crazy
Don’t rush this baby
Don’t rush this baby, baby, baby

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you
Yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will, yeah
Well I will, I will, I will, yeah
Push you around
And drag you down
I wanna push you around
Well I will
