A Quake! A Quake! (Yakko’s World Version) Lyrics by Animaniacs

Yakko’s World

1994

[Intro: 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
[Chorus 1: Yakko]
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!"
[Verse 1: Yakko]
I ran outside with neighbors
Their faces filled with shock
That's because I'm standing there
In nothing but my socks (oops!)
[Chorus 2: Yakko]
A quake, a quake!
This must be a mistake!
Just feel the ground go up and down!
Won't someone hit the brake?
A quake, a quake
Oh, what a mess they make!
The bricks, the walls, the chimney falls
Destruction in its wake!
[Verse 2: Yakko]
I did not have insurance
I called them from the scene
And suddenly I'm listening to
An answering machine, saying
[Chorus 3: Yakko]
Too late! Too late!
You shouldn't oughta wait!
So now you're stuck, we wish you luck!
Here comes a 6.8!
Whose fault? Whose fault?
Blame it on the fault
'Cause Mister Richter, can't predict her
Kicking our asphalt!
[Verse 3: Yakko]
Seismologists all say
Tectonic plates are in between
An encroaching crustal mantle
Yeah, so what the heck's that mean?
[Chorus 4: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot]
It means a quake, a quake!
Oh, really, yeah, no fake?
We kinda had that feeling
When the ground began to shake!
And so, we wait
Resign ourselves to fate
Because our lawn is sitting on
A continental plate
[Verse 4: Yakko]
We shivered through a blizzard
Went swimming in a flood
Then we blew off a hurricane
And now we hear a thud
[Chorus 5: Yakko]
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!
[Bridge: The Warners]
Now the town is falling down
While the ground moves around!
We won't let it get us down
Get beneath the door frame!
[Outro: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot]
A quake, a quake
It's time to pull up stake
The worst is over! We don't buy it!
We're fed up, We can't deny it!
We just want some peace and quiet!
So we're moving to Beirut!
