Opening Theme Lyrics
Buster: We're tiny!
Babs: We're toony!
We're learning to be Looney!
And we'll be famous soon-y at the college of our dreams!
Buster: We got our admissions
Babs: And forked over tuitions.
Plucky: Fulfilling our ambitions with a faculty esteemed.
At ACME Looniverstity, we'll earn our toon degree
The teaching staff's been getting laughs since 1933
Babs: We're classmates
Sweetie: And roommates!
Plucky: We paid the OUT-OF-STATE RATES?!
Let's grab our books and go
Class is about to start
They're furry, they're funny,
We're Babs and Buster Bunny.
Their comedy is punny
and a friendship's guaranteed
Hampton is worried
and Sweetie's a tough birdie
And if you're lucky, Plucky is the perfect-
Plucky: FRENEMY
So, here's where the greatest toons all got their humble start
There's quite a lot of history from teaching Looney art
We're tiny,
We're toony,
We can't wait to be Looney.
When the bell has rung, come in and join the fun
Babs and Buster: And now class has begun!
