ANIMANIACS LYRICS as appearing in the booklet for the ANIMANIACS
CD

In order to shorten the length of this document, I have only
included
returns where necessary. Lines which appear in the booklet as:
And living on that Earth are the plants and
the animals and also the entire human
race
that are presumably one long line appear here justified to 76
columns.

ANIMANIACS (M: Richard Stone; L: Tom Ruegger)
It's time for An-i-man-i-acs
And we're zany to the max
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh till you collapse [1]
We're An-i-man-i-acs
Come join the Warner Brothers
And the Warner sister Dot
Just for fun we run around the Warner movie lot
They lock us in the tower whenever we get caught
But we break loose...
And then vamoose...
And now you know the plot
We're An-i-man-i-acs
Dot is cute and Yakko yaks
Wakko packs away the snacks
While Bill Clinton plays the sax,
We're An-i-man-i-acs
Meet Pinky and the Brain, who want to rule the universe
Goodfeathers flock together, Slappy wacks 'em with her purse
Buttons chases Mindy, while Rita sings a verse
The writers flipped, we have no script, why bother to rehearse?
We're An-i-man-i-acs
We have pay or play contracts
We're zany to the max
There's baloney in our slacks
We're An-i-man-ee
Totally insane-y
Here's the show's namey
Pinky and the brainey
Pinky and the brainey [2]
An-i-man-ee-acs!
Those are the facts!
[NOTES: [1] This version of the theme does not have the sound
effects such
as Dr. SNS laughing and collapsing, so the "till
you" is quite
clear.
[2] Copied verbatim. Obviously a typo in the booklet.]
YAKKO'S UNIVERSE (M & L: Randy Rogel)
Everybody lives on a street in a city or a village or a town for
what
it's worth
And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
that sits
upon a planet known as Earth.
And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains, which
is out
there spinning silently in space,
And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals and also
the entire
human race
It's a great big universe and we're all really puny, we're just
tiny little
specks about the size of Mickey Rooney
It's big and black and inky, and we are small and dinky
It's a big universe and we're not
And we're part of a vast interplantary system stretching seven
hundred
billion miles long
With nine planets and a sun, we think the Earth's the only one
that has
life on it, although we could be wrong
Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids including
meteors
and Halley's Comet too
And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons in
a panoramic
trillion mile view!
And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars in a
galaxy we call
the Milky Way
It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other, and
still
that's just a fraction of the way
Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the
sky filled
with constellations, planets, moons and stars
And still the universe extends to a place that never ends, which
is maybe
just inside a little jar!
It's a great big universe and we're all really puny, we're just
tiny little
specks about the size of Mickey Rooney
Though we don't know how er got here, we're an important part
here, it's a
big universe and it's ours

WHAT ARE WE? (M & L: Randy Rogel)
Maybe we are dogs, cute little dogs with ears, And little tails
that we can
wag, hey let's go fetch slippers and play tag!
Hey, get off of me...!
Maybe I'm a cat, whaddaya think of that
A lovely cat that all the world adores
And here's my kitty paws,
With little kitty claws, which I like to sharpen on your couch!
Augghh! That's not funny...
Maybe I'm a bunny
Hopping 'round here happy as I please
Or penguins and it's cold, which makes you sneeze
I've got it, of course!
Maybe I'm a horse
I can live on oats and hay
And laugh and run and jump and play
And you can ride on me all day!
No way
Hey, maybe I'm a skunk
Oh boy, you really stink!
A dinosaur might be some fun
But then you'd be extinct
Maybe we're all insects
Do you like bugs and bees?
You kids are buggy in the head
Maybe we're giant fleas!
Maybe an electric eel
Yowch!
Or a seal
Get real
Hey wait a minute, I've got it now
You do?!
Yes, I do
We're not bees and we're not cats or bugs or horses or things
like that
What we are is clear and absolute!
What we are, dear doctor...
Is... cute!
Smooch... I'm sorry I asked.
YES, BROTHERS WARNER WE (M: Sir Arthur Sullivan (P.D.); L: Paul
Rugg)
We surf the sea!
The Warners we three be!
To catch a gaze
Of a beach to get some rays!
We'll never sink!
Our board's not what you think!
It's got a tail
In fact it is a whale!
Yes! Brothers Warner we!
And the Warner Sister!
You'd like her if you kissed her!
We've surfed the seven seas
Now it's time to catch some z's!

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Columbus is
the capital
of Ohio; there's Montgomery, Alabama, south of Helena,
Montana; then

Texas has Austin, then we go north, to Massachusetts, Boston, and
Albany,
New York; Tallahassee, Florida, and Washington, D. C., Santa
Fe, New
Mexico, and Nashville, Tennessee.
Elvis used to hang out there a lot, ya know

VIDEO REVUE (M & L: Randy Rogel)
Hey, look at this store!
There's movies galore!
We've seen 'em all a thousand times over before
And that's why our brains don't work anymore
"The Player" is a movie about finding fresh new scripts...
Like "Rambo 3"...
And "Rocky 5"...
And "Star Trek" Number 6
Eva Joined with Zsa Zsa and they formed a "Sister Act"
But both were "Unforgiven" because neither one could act
"The Hand That Rocked The Cradle" once belonged to "Hook", you
see
But it got bored and so it joined "The Addams Family"
"Amadeus" was a genius
"Beethoven" was a dog
The "Muppet Family Christmas" is about a pig and frog
There was a sled named Rosebud
And a "Citizen" named "Kane"
He rode it till the snow was melted
Now he's "Singin' In The Rain"
The "Princess Bride" got married to the handsome "Prince Of
Tides"
Which now makes her dad "The Fisher King", the "Father Of The
Bride"
And pretty soon you'll find them all inside the "TV Guide"
Along with all the stars you like to see!
Like Hitchcock and Spielberg and Oliver Stone
Shirley Maclaine and Sylvester Stallone
Francis Ford Coppola, Hepburn, and Tracy
Robert Zemeckis and Martin Scorcese
Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, Woody Allen, and Mia
Robert Deniro and Andy Garcia
Sophia Loren, Barbra Streisand, Joan Crawford
Paul Newman, Rock Hudson, Spike Lee, Peter Lawford
Jack Nicholson, Brando, and Marilyn Monroe...
And that's all the people we know!
We're glad the dinosaur is gone, he was an easy mark
But if we ever miss him we can rent "Jurassic Park"
So when it comes to clunkers like "The Babe" or like "Presidio"
Don't pay $7.50, just catch 'em on home video
As for us it's bye-bye time, so long now toodle-oo
We've had quite enought of this video revue
[The book puts the movie titles in an italic font, not quotes.]
I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A CARTOON INDIVIDUAL
(M: Sir Arthur Sullivan (P.D.); L: Paul Rugg)
I am the very model of a cartoon individual
My animation's comical, unusual, and whimsical
I'm quite adept at funny gags, comedic theory I have read
From wicked puns, and stupid jokes, to anvils that drop on your
head
I'm very good at fancy dances, I can even pirouette
Then smack the villain ... with a fish, I know my cartoon
etiquette
I can make my face all mean and really give you quite a fright
Then make up with flowers made of real exploding dynamite
When in a jam, I just yell "stop" and villians in their tracks
are froze
Then I sneak up, and utter "start" and take my hands and honk
their nose
I am quite proud to be in such a hierarchal progeny
From Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird to Babs and Buster Bunny!
To suit my mood I can call forth a lot of different sceneries
Like outer space
And desert scapes
And Himalayan eateries
From this bag here why I can pull most anything imaginable
Like office desks
And lava lights
And Bert who is a cannibal
You see in matters comical, unusual, and whimsical, we are the
very models
of cartoon individuals!
I'M MAD (M & L: Randy Rogel)
Wake up
It's late!
It's twenty minutes after eight
Everyone get up, it's time to go
Up and at 'em now, come on, shake a leg
Have some juice and scrambled egg
On the floor and out the door, let's get on our way
Hey, watch out!
What's the matter?
You almost knocked me off the ladder
No I didn't
Yes you did, I almost fell
Don't exagerrate
I'm not
Yeah, right
Are you trying to pick a fight?
Will you get out of my face?!
Well, you're always in my space
Hey get off each other's case because we're trying to get along
I want pancakes or a waffle, this tastes awful
Is that all we've got!
Can't find my clothes, and I need to blow my nose, and my socks
are full of
holes and my shoelace has a knot
That's my toothbrush
No it's not
Well, it's sitting in my slot
No it isn't, this is mine and that one's yours
Well, you're standing in my way
Yeah, that's tough
Alright now that's enough, everybody get your stuff because we're
going out
the door
Every time we get into the car it's so much work it takes us
twenty minutes
while you're driving me berserk
With your playing and your jumping and your running all about
When I finally get you inside, you always lock me out!
I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm really, really, really mad, you poked me
with your elbow
in my side
No I didn't!
Yes you did
Nuh-uh
You did, and I'm just a little kid, you're lying, don't deny it
Oh, I'm gonna hit you
Yeah, just try it
Will both of you be quiet 'cause we're driving in a car!
Ow, he hit me!
Ow, she bit me!
He said he's gonna "get me"
No I didn't
Yes you did!
Alright that's it now I forbid either of you to say another word!
Are we there yet? I'm tired. I'm hungry. How far?
My nose is snotty, need to move my body, gotta use the potty,
better stop the
car
Stop it!
No, you stop it
Why can't you both just drop it?
Well, he started it
Oh, yeah, I'm really sure, uh-huh
Na-ah
Uh-uh
It's your fault
No it's not. Your leg is in my spot
Yakko you be quiet, and that goes for you too, Dot!
Every time we take a trip it's always just the same
With the fighting and the biting and the calling all those names
Then there's pushing and there's shoving and there's scratching
on the neck
When we finally get to where we're going, everyone's a wreck!
Yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak yak!
I'm mad, I'm mad, I'm really, really, really mad, you poked me
with your elbow
in my side
Are we there yet! I'm tired. I'm hungry
No I didn't!
How far!
Yes, you did, you did, and I'm just a little kid
My nose is snotty,
Need to move my body
Will both of you be quiet 'cause we're driving in a car!
Gotta use the potty, better stop the car
We're here, we're here Doesn't anybody want to give a cheer!
You mean this is where we're all gonna spend the day?
At the circus?!
Hey, guys, look, they got rides!
Now you're satisfied?
Alright everyone inside and let's have some fun, okay?
I'm glad, I'm glad,
What a really great time we had
Did you see those lions and those tigers, weren't they neat?
Are you happy now?
We are thanks alot, I'm sorry that we fought, from now on I'll
get along
That's alright, Dot, I was wrong
Ah that's nice, now come along let's all get in the car
You can take the seat you like, you're always so gallant
Ah, thank you, Dot, but ladies first, you take the seat you want
Everybody's happy now, we've had a real good day
And now it's time to go back home, so let's be on our way
You hit me
No I didn't
Yes you did. Stop it!
No you stop it
Move your leg
No, you move your leg
You started it
No I didn't, you did
No I didn't, you did
THE PLANETS (M: Richard Stone; L: Paul Rugg)
The closest to the Sun
Is the planet Mercury
Next the shrouded planet Venus
Is as cloudy as can be
The Earth is next, we call it home
Let's hope it stays that way
And then there's Mars, it's really red
What more can I say!
The gassy planet Jupiter's
As big as planets come
Then there's Saturn with its mighty
Rings made up of tiny crumbs
We travel on to Neptune
That's a gassy, freezing ball
And cold and tiny Pluto
It's the furthest one of all.
There you go, that's our solar system.
You forgot Uranus.
Goodnight everybody.
THE ETIQUETTE SONG (M: Richard Stone; L: Peter Hastings)
When you walk into a party
It's a formal universe
Ya!
So you jump on your host
And with a kiss say "Hello, Nurse!"
No!
Remember that good diction
Reflects so well on you
Ya!
So practice all your vowel sounds by saying
"AEIOUUUUU"
No!
To use the right utensils is
One of etiquette's demands
So we recommend...
You throw them out...
And eat with your hands!
A salad fork
A dinner fork
A butter knife
A water glass
A soup spoon
A dinner knife
A fork for eating pickled bass
An oyster fork, dessert spoon, a napkin, and a finger bowl,
A dinner spoon, a salad knife, a bread plate for your dinner
roll!
We've heard the rules you need to know to make that social climb
But we'd rather spend our energy on having a good time!
I'M CUTE (M & L: Randy Rogel)
I'm cute, yes it's true
I really can't help it
But what can I do
When you're cute, it just shows
With these two darling eyes and a cute little nose
And a pretty pink dress, that's adorable, yes
And when they see my dimples then everyone says
Oh shoot!
Isn't she cute!
Cute, cute
Oh, isn't she cute, cute, cute
I'm the one they adore I'm sweet and I'm cuddly
And small just like Dudley but more
It's a chore
To be constantly cute
And enchanting to boot
When my lip's sticking out
in that cute little pout
Then there just is no doubt
Why the guys like to shout
She's a beaut
Let's face it, I'm cute
Cute, cute
Oh, baby, she's cute, cute, cute
Being cute's a thing you can't hide
If you look up the word in a book
There's my picture inside!
"TV Guide"
Has me on the cover
Don'cha just love her?
I'm simply a goddess
And isn't she modest?
I'm the answer to one of the questions on Trivial Pursuit
For "Who's the most cute?"
Cute, cute
Oh, isn't she cute, cute, cute
I'm cute and I'm sweet
And I'm innocent, neat
And so trusting
If you want our opinion this song is becoming disgusting
I'm cute
So what!
I never am vain
She's becoming a pain in the...
But I'm also real nice
I'm a doll through and through
So big whoop-de-do
I'm sweet and adoring
And also real boring
And that's why we're snoring at you
That's it! You've ruined my entire cute song!
I am angry! I am furious! I am enraged!
I have had it!
You're awfully cute when you're angry
You really think so?
A babba dabba dooba do wah!
She's cute!
THE SENSES (M: Randy Rogel; L: Randy Rogel and Tom Ruegger)
The sense of sight
Is what guides us right
When we go out on walks
The sense of smell's
The way you tell
That you need to change your socks
The sense of touch
Is what hurts so much
When you bang your toe on the bed
The sense of hearing is something good
'Cause if a tree falls in the wood
Would there be a sound? You bet there would
If it landed on top of your head
Your head
If a tree lands on top of your head
The sense of taste
Affects your waist
Which makes fice senses in all
There's a sixth sense, too, but it's hard to explain
It's a psychic connection inside of your brain
So you can understand people like Shirley Maclaine
Who wear crystals they bought in the mall
The mall
Who wear crystals they bought in the mall
There are scents you can smell
Like cologne from Chanel
Or the scents of expensive perfume
There are scents of flowers
We hope overpowers
The kitty box next to your room
Phew!
There's a sense of pride
You have deep down inside
When you practice a sense of fair play
There are dollars and cents that you pay at a toll
Or the census man who is taking a poll
And a sense of confusion; we're out of control
And they really should take us away
Away
They really should take us away
There's a sense of humor
A sense of doom, or a sense of awe
Sense of timing
The sense of word
A sense of absurd
Like trying to do all this rhyming
There's incense
And horse sense
And common sense, it's true
Sense of wonder
Sense of beauty
Sense of honor
Sense of duty
A sense of doubt
A sense of danger
A sense of fear, when you meet a stranger
A sense of style, a sense of worth
A sense of direction for knowing the earth
A sense of dread as we're singing this song
That it's starting to turn out completely all wrong
And it's time that we end it because it's too long
'Cause it just doesn't make any sense
Nonsense
This song doesn't make any sense
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU EAT (M: Jacques Offenbach (P.D.); L: Randy
Rogel)
[1] Zinc trisodium, aspartate,
[1] Sorbitol and bisulfate,
[1] Oxide beta carotene,
[1] Lactic acid, carob bean.
Grade A milk emulsified, malto-dextrin alkalide, silicon
deoxylite,
lots of sugar,
Hey, alright!
Calcified synthetic salt, artificial barley malt,
Glycerine and aspartate, folic Acid
That tastes great!
Monosodium glutamate, dehydrated calceinate; soybean oil, butter
fat,
caramel center
I'll eat that!
Hooray for sugar, 'cause we love it, chocolate chips, we want
more of it,
cakes and ice cream, watch us shove it, down our throats real
fast.
Here's a candy bar, you tried it?
Hey, let's all see what's inside it
Gelatinized triglycerin, phospate soybean lecithin, deoxylite
tri-silicon,
dipped in chocolate
Bring it on!
Citrus enzymes, BHT, powdered milk
Sounds good to me!
Baking soda, carob gum, carbohydrates
Yummy yum!
Monosodium glutamate, zinc disodium algenate,
Whole grain flour, yeast and fat,
Time to eat it, I'll do that
[2] We like sweets a lot, but they make your insides rot,
[2] So remember it's your body and the only one you've got
[3] We like sweets a lot, so give us all you've got,
[3] And we will stuff 'em in our bodies till they make our
insides rot.
[NOTES: [1] Spoken words by Yakko, included on the CD but not

the lyrics for some reason.

LET THE ANVILS RING
(M: Richard Stone (Includes arrangements of traditional music
and P. D. music by Richard Sanderson); L: Peter Hastings)
Let us introduce ourselves, O people of this land
We are the Warner Brothers
With sister close at hand
I bet you all are wondering, who is this young unknown?
And why am I inheriting the Anvilanian throne?
Yes, why?
Yes, why?
Oh, please, please tell us why
The bottom of the family tree starts with Yakko, that is me
I'm the cousin to the sister of the son's niece's brother
Of the uncle's daughter's father of the nephew's sister's mother
And my grandpa's only cousin was the king's daugh-ter's sib-ling
But they're all gone, and that is why I am now your king!
He is now our king!
Yes! I am now your kning! Repeat what I just said!
Repeat what I just said!
And let the anvils riiiinnng!
Old King Yakko's mania was for Anvilania
So good citizens I pledge to you I'll do the best that I can do
For honor, country, and the king, let the anvils ring!
Let the anvils ring!
Let the anvils ring!
Let the anvils ring!
