Published | 1940 |
Length | 1:40 |
Composer(s) | Leigh Harline |
Lyricist(s) | Ned Washington |
The music is by Leigh Harline, and the lyrics are by Ned Washington and Oliver Wallace.[2] The song is sung by one of the film's antagonists, John Worthington "Honest John" Foulfellow, when he takes Pinocchio to Stromboli. A reprise of the song is sung when Pinocchio is being taken to Pleasure Island. The reprise in the soundtrack version on the disc contains none of the vocals as presented on the record and in the film. It is the very first Disney villain song in history. It also appears in Disney's 2022 live-action remake of the film, in which it was sung by Keegan-Michael Key as Honest John.[3]
