Was Carlton's C-O-N-S-T-A-N-T-I-N-O-P-L-E song any bit the inspiration for the Encyclopedia song from the Mickey Mouse Club, sung by Jiminy Cricket?

In 2009, Melissa asked:

You'll be M-I-N-E mine
I'll be T-H-I-N-E thine
and I'll L-O-V-E love you
all the T-I-M-E time..
(another camp song--I can't remember which song it was tacked to)

Sorry not to respond sooner...

I think we sang it with "I am a Pretty Little Dutch Girl" (in the DT) and there was more to it:

You are the B-E-S-T best
Of all the R-E-S-T rest
and I'll L-O-V-E love you
all the T-I-M-E time.

Also, we spelled Mississippi in a tune: M-I-S...S-I-S...S-I-P-P-I
