Animaniacs – A Quake! A Quake! (Album Version) lyrics

Yakko:
It's a quiet peaceful night,
The moon is shining bright,
Giving not a hint of what's in store.
A few hours before morning
Without a single warning,
Something strange begins to move the floor.
A quake, a quake,
The house begins to shake.
You're bouncing 'cross the floor
And watching all your dishes break.
You're sleeping, there's a quake,
You're instantly awake.
You're leaping out of bed
And shouting, "Oh, for heaven's sake!"
I ran outside with neighbors,
Their faces filled with shock.
That's because I'm standing there
In nothing but my socks.

Wakko and Dot:
Oops!

Yakko:
A quake, a quake!
This must be a mistake!
Just feel the ground
Go up and down!
Won't someone hit the break?
A quake, a quake,
Oh, what a mess they make!
The bricks, the walls,
The chimney falls,
Destruction in its wake!
I did not have insurance,
So I called them from the scene
And suddenly I'm listening to
An answering machine
Saying, "Too late! Too late!
You shouldn't oughta wait!
So now you're stuck,
We wish you luck!
Here comes a six-point-eight!"
Whose fault? Whose fault?
Blame it on the fault,
'Cause Mister Richter
Can't predict her
Kicking our asphalt!
Seismologists all say
Tectonic plates are in between
An encroaching crustal mantle.
Yeah, so what the heck's that mean?
It means a quake, a quake!

Wakko and Dot:
Oh, really, yeah, no fake?
We kinda had that feeling
When the ground began to shake!

Yakko:
And so, we wait,
Resign ourselves to fate,
Because our lawn
Is sitting on
A continental plate.
We shivered through a blizzard,
Went swimming in a flood,
Then we blew off a hurricane,
And now we hear a thud
Of a quake, a quake!
How much more can we take?!
We thought that we had seen it all
But this one takes the cake!
The dirt, the rocks,
Those crazy aftershocks!
It's just the planet
Moving granite
Several city blocks!

The Warners:
Now the town is falling down
While the ground moves around!
We won't let it get us down,
Get beneath the doorframe!

Yakko:
A quake, a quake,
It's time to pull up stake.

Dot:
The worst is over!

Yakko and Wakko:
We don't buy it!
We're fed up,
We can't deny it!
We just want some peace and quiet!

The Warners:
So we're moving to Beirut!
