We're just listening for his call
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
And he will prove that crime will never pay
So let the trumpet players play
For Mighty Mouse is here today!

Theme song [edit]
- Mister Trouble never hangs around
When he hears this mighty sound
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
- Yes sir, when there is a wrong to right
Mighty Mouse will join the fight
On the sea or on the land
He has the situation well in hand!
- So though we are in danger, we do not despair
For wherever there is danger he'll be there
He'll be there, on the land, on the sea, in the air!
- We're not worrying at all
We're just listening for his call
"Here I come to save the day!"
That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way!
Theme song (Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures) [edit]
- Mighty Mouse: Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse
Coming to vanquish the foe with a mighty blow
So don't be afraid anymore
Choir: 'Cause things won't be like they've been before!
Mighty Mouse: Here I come to save the day!
Choir: Thank goodness Mighty Mouse is on his way
So let the trumpet players play
For Mighty Mouse is here today!
Mighty Mouse: Here he comes, that Mighty Mouse
Just like a bolt from the blue with a heart that's true
Fighting evil, fighting crime
Choir:And always there in the nick of time
Mighty Mouse: Here he comes to save the day
Choir: And he will prove that crime will never pay
So let the trumpet players play
For Mighty Mouse is here today!

(Quotes are out of order and single quotes with no names are all Mighty Mouse's)
- <sung> Here I come to save the day!
- Don't worry, Pearl! I'll be right there!
- Pearl: Do you have the feeling we're being watched?
Mighty Mouse: Oh, tut-tut, Pearl. It's just your imagination! (pictures creep them out) Then again, I could be wrong! - I think we just discovered Harry's secret lair.
- Mighty Mouse: Wow, Pearl! You never affected me like that!
Pearl: Let's just catch Harry, okay?! - A large gear! The Domesday Device must be close by!
- Harry: You may have freed your miserable ship, but I have you, Pearl! And you're going to tell me where the Interstellar Federation hides the Domesday Device! Once I have it, I will have the power to conquer the universe! The power to rule the galaxy! The power to make the planets grumble at the sound of my name!
Pearl: You're mad for power! That's all you want!
Harry: Actually, I wouldn't mind a little money, too. So tell me, where is the Domesday Device?
Pearl: No! No! 1,000 times no! I'd rather die!
Harry: Don't tempt me! - 1st Mate: How much longer do we have?
Pearl: Not much longer, I'm afriad. Goodbye, first mate!
1st Mate: Goodbye? But we aren't finished yet.
Pearl: Oh yeah? Stand on the bottom and say that! - Mighty Mouse: Ah, this is the life. I hope no ants come along and spoil it! (ants come to picnic and leave Pearl's ship) I knew the one thing they couldn't resist was a picnic. By the way, where is the ship?
Pearl: I'm standing on it. Don't worry, Mighty Mouse. We always carry a spare! - Pearl: I hate to do this, but I must. In the name of the Interstellar Federation, I hereby arrest you for stealing the Domesday Device.
Mighty Mouse: I swear I am innoncent. But if that won't convince you, I'll go peacefully. - King Muss: Order in the court! Order in the court!
Someone in crowd: I'll take a swiss cheese on rye!
King Muss: (ignoring comment) The next case is Humongo vs. Mighty Mouse, but first, I declare the court has a recess! (jumps rope 5 times) Recess is over! (tosses rope away) Don't worry, Mighty Mouse. We are going to give you a fair trial, before we find you guilty.
Mighty Mouse: Your honor, I appeal to you!
King Muss: Not as much as Queen Pearl does! Queen Pearl, will you take the stand? (He turns and notices the stand is missing) Oh, looks like somebody already took it! Ha! - Mighty Mouse: <whispers in Matta Furi's ear>
Matta Furri: A little louder, please!
Mighty Mouse: That's Star Coordinace 661.776 Omega.
<Harry turns off TV screen>
Harry: Thanks, you romantic fool, you! <laughs evil laugh> - Harry: Swifty, bring me my cable!
Swifty: Okay, boss. <confused over two cables>
Pearl: Psst. Not that one. The other one.
Swifty: Oh, gee; thanks! - Matta Furri: Come here, big boy!
- Pearl: All right, you! What did you do to him?
Mighty Mouse: Wow! That was some kiss!
Pearl: Oh, for goodness sake!
Matta Furri: Goodness had nothing to do with it! - King Muss: Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
Pearl: I do. I was in the middle of a conference with King Muss. I wondered where the Domesday Device was safe on Humungo. Suddenly, an alarm went off. When we got to the vault, the device was...<starts crying>...gone! I thought Harry the Heartless had stolen it, but there, in the empty vault, was...was...Mighty Mouse! - Harry: There it is! It's a toy store! Ah! I hate toys, well, except for one toy I had. It was an unbreakable toy. I used it to break everybody else's!
- Santa Claus: <after seeing a jack-in-the-box> I'll take several hundred billion of them! Ho, ho, ho!
Harry: Ho, ho, ho, yourself!
<Harry throws Santa out of "Toys We Is">
Swifty: Master! Do you know who that was?
Harry: Come on, Swifty. There's no such person as...
<scene on Santa>
Santa Claus: Well! What am I going to tell the tooth fairy about this?!i - Swifty: Hipporanium!
Harry: For the first time in your life, Swifty, you are right! - Harry: There it is! It's a toy store! I hate toys, well, except for one I had. It was an unbreakable toy! (maniacally) I used it to break everybody else's! (laughs)

- (sung) Here I come to save the day! (recurring catchphrase)
- Assistant: The poll shows that your local workforce in the farming communties around here total 99% of the population.
Pearl: Oh dear. And what about the other 1%?
Assistant: They're the coaltakers! (from Mouse of the Desert) - Tourist #2: (after Mighty Mouse causes it to rain) Rain! We're saved! Our prayers are answered!
Tourist #1: The rain is ruining my new dress!
Tourist #2: Then suppose I should have wished for a dry cleaner? (from Mouse of the Desert) - Harry: Who goes there?
Orville Ork: It's me! Orville Ork! I am the meanest, the rottenest, the foulest, and the lousiest ork in all of Middle Earth!
Harry: (rushes to bridge and lets him cross) Go ahead, Orville! (Orville crosses) Professional courtesy, you know! (from Stop...Pay Troll) - 1st Mate: And now, High Priest Oil Can Harry will lead a toast to the queen!
Harry: Uh, may the queen's rule be, uh, uh, uh, propserous, and, uh, uh, uh, long! (evil grin afterward)
Pearl: There is something strange going on with Harry. I don't trust him.
1st Mate: Frankly, Your Highness, I don't think anybody does! (from Mouse of the Desert) - Purple Genie: I am set, and I know all; even the reason why you call! To get rid of the queen and take over her kingdom, give her a basket of figs with a snake in them, and you will soon be the ruler of all!
Harry: Yes! Ha, ha, ha! I'll hide a snake in a basket of figs and give them to the queen! Oh! What a beautifully wicked scheme! (from Mouse of the Desert) - Harry: Your Majesty, I have brought you a basket of figs from Luxemborg. They are the finest quality figs, and I am pleasured to place them at your feet.
(snake hiss)
Pearl: Uh, how come they're hissing?
Harry: Maybe one of them is broken! (lets snake out)
Pearl: Oh, no! Help! Help me! Somebody help me! (from Mouse of the Desert) - Purple Genie: I am set...
Harry: (interrupting) Listen, you great big alley cat! You better get the queen, now!
Purple Genie: I'll get the queen and bring her back. And in the meantime, Harry, cut out the yak! (from Mouse of the Desert) - Sharky: (when chasing Harry) Shut up and swim! Stroke! Stroke! Stroke! (recurring catchphrase)
- <kid is crying>
Dad: When's that kid going to go to sleep?
Mom: Why don't you get him a glass of warm milk?
Dad: I tried that. It didn't work.
Mom: Then why don't you tell him to count sheep?
Dad: I did. He said wool makes him itch.
Mom: Oh. Then go with the obvious. Send him a lullaby.
Kid: No! No! Anything but that! <resumes crying>
<Mighty Mouse is watching through his telescope>
Mighty Mouse: My! What lungs on that little guy! (from Stop...Pay Troll) - Narrator: The mighty ocean, origin of all life. Man is again returning to the sea for future life sources.
Pearl: So is woman!
Narrator: That interruption came to you through the courtesy of Pearl Pureheart, who is compliling research on...well, never mind. See for yourself. (from Captain Nemo Oh-oh) - <Harry has just blown the foghorn>
Swifty: Don't do that! Don't go, "<imtates foghorn>," go, "<imitates softer foghorn>."
<Harry points at the farm>
Swifty: Wow, that darn near is pretty, as a Norman Rockwell calendar. <comes to his senses> Hey! What's a farm doing on the ocean bottom?!
Harry: That is Pearl Pureheart's undersea farm! And my diabolical plan is to capture her ship and use it to pray on other vessels!
Mighty Mouse: <who has listened in> You're not going to prey on vessels! You're going to pray on your knees! (from Captain Nemo Oh-oh) - Harry: And now, good night, sweet rodent! Rust in peace! (from Captain Nemo Oh-Oh)
- Pearl: Oh! Oh, what am I to do? If only there was someone, somewhere, to protect the oppressed! (from Cats and Robbers)
