Opening Theme Lyrics
It's time for Animaniacs!
And we're zany to the max!
So just sit back and relax,
You'll laugh till you collapse.
We're Animaniacs!
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.
Then we break loose, and go vamoose,
and now you know the plot.
We're Animaniacs!
Dot has wit, and Yakko yaks!
Wakko packs away the snacks,
Our careers have made comebacks.
We're Animaniacs!
Meet Pinky and the Brain, who wanna rule the universe!
A brand new cast who tested well on focus group research.
Gender Balanced, Pronoun Neutral,
And Ethically Diverse!
The trolls will say we're so passe,
But we did meta first!
We're Animaniacs!
You should see our new contracts!
We're zany to the max,
There's bologna in our slacks.
We're ani-mane-y,
Totally insane-y,
Have no shame-y,
Animaniacs!
Those are the facts!
