Theme to STEVEN SPIELBERG PRESENTS ANIMANIACS
Music by Richard Stone. Lyrics by Tom Ruegger.

YW+D : It's time for Animaniacs
And we're zany to the max
So just sit back and relax
You'll laugh 'til you collapse
We're Animaniacs!

Y+W : Come join the Warner Brothers
Dot : And the Warner Sister, Dot
YW+D : 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 Animaniacs!
Dot is cute and Yakko yaks.
Wakko packs away the snacks
+ While Bill Clinton plays the sax.
++ We've got wisecracks by the stacks.
+++ We pay tons of income tax.
We're Animaniacs!

+ Meet Pinky and the Brain who want to rule the universe.
+++* Meet Ralph and Dr Scratchansniff; say hi to Hello Nurse.
Goodfeathers flock together; Slappy whacks 'em with her purse.
Buttons chases Mindy, while Rita sings a verse.
The writers flipped; we have no script
Why bother to rehearse?

Cast : We're Animaniacs!
We have pay-or-play contracts.
We're zany to the max
There's baloney in our slacks.
We're Animanie,
Totally insaney
