HELP!-'This is my island in the sun'

Just wondering if anyone knew whether the song the rats sing when they ask scrooge for coal is a real song (and so what and who by) or just something they created for the film? Am trying to find it so i can use it in a school play!

Thanks for any help

Yep, it's a real song made famous by Harry Belafonte called "Island In The Sun"...

...though the rats' version is more uptempo!
