Technically they were having a lot of fun so he helped them enjoy chores.

"Let's get 'im but let's finish the song first" 😆

This is similar to the Disney cartoon In The Bag, when the ranger gets the bears to start cleaning up the park but then they get mad when they see him lying in a hammock while they’re working.

2:28 when they work for you and then they ask for pay on payday and your pennyless.

I saw this in New York City at Radio City Music Hall many years ago. The reason they chased him is that they realized he'd duped them out of their belongings.

GREAT FLICK!! Grew up watching movies like Tom Sawyer, Swiss Family Robinson, Indiana Jones, Jaws. What happened to Movie Scores?! Movie Music Can Leave a Lasting Impact On The Audience. 👍

The lyrics :


GRATIFACTION

Boys Chorus:
You call this work?
Well, ain't that funny
We ain't doin' this for money
Heck, it's just a regular
Privilege to be occupied
It's a source of pride
Anyone can swim and fish on a Saturday
Anyone can just lay down
Layin' in a hammock,
Layin' in the grass
Like a lazy, no-good hound

Tom:
They just know that I'm softhearted
I was barely getting' started
Now I'm givin' all of my fun away
They keep beggin' me
And I'm generous

I mean, when's the last time
You could slosh a bucket
Full of wash on a mile of fence?
Look at them smilin'
And havin' a time
And all at my expense

Boys Chorus:
And you get that deep down inside gratifaction
Gratifyin' satisfac�
Well, I mean that deep-down inside gratifaction
Oh, how good you feel
When your shoulder's to the wheel

You don't need nothin' except ambition
Elbow grease for ammunition
And bang, what a righteous glow you get
From honest sweat,
It's a natural bet

Anyone who puts his
Nose to the grindstone
Is gonna get a great reward
Your eyes will see the glory of
The coming of the Lord

And you get that deep-down inside gratifaction
Pure enjoyment from employ�
Well, I mean that deep-down inside gratifaction
Oh, how good you feel
When your shoulder's to the wheel

You don't need nothin' except ambition
Elbow grease for ammunition
And bang, what a righteous glow you get
From honest sweat,
It's a natural bet

Anyone who puts his
Nose to the grindstone
Is gonna get a great reward
Your eyes will see the glory of
The coming of the Lord

And you get that deep-down inside gratifaction
And you get that deep down inside gratifaction
Gratifyin' satisfac�
Well, I mean that deep-down inside gratifaction
Oh, how good you feel
When your shoulder's to the wheel
