"Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" is a song from the Disneyland attraction, Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, which opened in 1963. The song was originally composed by Robert Hargreaves, Stanley J. Damerell, and Tolchard Evans in 1932[1].
The Tiki Room version has the emcee birds briefly imitating the late great celebrities, such as Bing Crosby, Maurice Chevalier, and Louis Armstrong. However, in the original version of the show formerly performed at Tokyo Disneyland, Pierre imitates Donald Duck's tone (in Japanese) instead of Maurice Chevalier's tone.
