Look Out For Mr. Stork
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look out for Mr. Stork
That persevering chap
He'll come along and drop
A bundle in your lap
You may be poor or rich
It doesn't matter which
Millionaires--they get theirs
Like the butcher and the baker
So look out for Mr. Stork
And let me tell you, friend
Don't try to get away
He'll find you in the end
He'll spot you out in China or he'll fly to County Cork
So you better look out for Mr. Stork

Look out for Mr. Stork
He's got you on his list
And when he comes around
It's useless to resist




Remember those quintuplets and the woman in the shoe
Maybe he's got his eye on you

This song takes on a whole new meaning when you imagine all those baby animals were the result of unplanned pregnancy

"Let me tell you friend. Don't try to get away, he'll find you in the end."

DISNNNNNNNEEEIIIIIIIYYY

@azazel166

Animals are driven by instinct, so they can't really plan it.

@muffinland8660

Other than Mrs. Jumbo, the tigers seemed like the only ones who were definitely expecting this.

@daisymay6505

Muffin Land I agree

@TheVeryLastOne

​@@muffinland8660or maybe they were all expecting it however the father tiger was the most nervous awaiting parent out of all of them so he was pacing around and watching the sky

@girl1213

@@TheVeryLastOne Yeah, the ladies are all sleeping because they're not worried.
Mrs. Jumbo is just eager because she's been waiting for one for a long time from the way it's portrayed. She's the only elephant who wanted a baby. But it's true in real life that even though you really want a baby doesn't mean it'll come right away. That's why she's so protective of him: he was wanted

@daughterofmaleficent8119

Daddy tiger was waitin bruh! Love that part

@pikppa

His joyful expression when they finally arrived <3

@daughterofmaleficent8119

Francesco Brosolo shout out to a good dad!

@girl1213

Even though in reality male tigers don't want anything to with babies, I'm glad to see this subversion since it shows positivity towards fatherhood.
