At the Big Wrap Party Tonight
Titles
"The New Year's Party Tonight"
"At the Big Wrap Party Tonight" is a song from the segment of the same name . It is a song about who is at the wrap party for the third season of the show. The music is by Richard Stone and the lyrics by Tom Ruegger , who is, in fact, one of the people waiting in line at the beginning of the cartoon. Babs, Buster and Plucky make cameos in the cartoon.
The segment was originally aired as part of The WB 's New Year's Eve Bash on December 31, 1995, under the title "The New Year's Party Tonight" . As such, that version of the song had the lyrics redubbed as "the New Year's party tonight" in place of "the big wrap party tonight."
Lyrics
Yakko :
Come in, be a smarty!
The shindig's 'bout to starty!
Wakko :
The gang's all here!
Dot :
Let's give a cheer
The Warners :
For the big wrap party tonight!
Wakko :
There's chow galore!
Dot :
So open the door
The Warners :
To the big wrap party tonight!
Yakko :
We're dining buffet style
With food from every nation
So plan to stop a while
And join the celebration!
Wakko :
They've come for fun and feastin'
Dot :
We've even let the Beast in.
The Warners :
Let's go hors d'oeuvre-in'
And see what they're servin'
At the big wrap party tonight
There's manicotti for Dotty,
Soft shell taco for Yakko,
And Wakko is ready
For a truck load of spaghetti
At the big wrap party tonight
Hello Nurse is eating liverwurst,
Thaddeus Plotz has red hots
Ralph the Guard is cooking with lard
The apron that's cute is Dot's
Wakko :
Take a whiff, Dr. Scratchansniff .
Dot :
No veal in the meal for Miss Flamiel
The Warners :
The Flame keeps a-glowin'
The punch bowl's overflowin'
At the big wrap party tonight.
The Randy Beaman kid is eatin' fried squid
At the big wrap party tonight
Wakko :
The pasta by Pesto is the besto
Dot :
Bobby helps Squit , who's choking on a pit!
Yakko :
The cheese balls are nectar
To Mr. Director ...
The Warners :
At the big wrap party tonight
The Great Wakkorotti has gone to the potty
At the big wrap party tonight
Yakko :
Runt bakes the bundt cakes
Dot :
A pocket of pita for Rita
The Warners :
Nothin' but mutton
For Mindy and Buttons .
Sylvester wants a parakeet-ah
Yakko :
Katie Ka-Boom can clear out a room
Wakko :
A pie, key lime
Dot :
Is headed for the mime !
The Warners :
Chicken Boo is eating tiramisu
At the big wrap party tonight
The entire crew came from Acme Loo
For the big wrap party tonight!
Get another nappy for Slappy
More bean dippy for Skippy
Extra chippos for the Hip Hippos
The Brain 's eating pizza that's drippy
Minerva 's leavin' with Steven
A hot cocoa drinky for Pinky
Yakko and Wakko
Don't allow tobacco
At the big wrap party tonight!
It's happy hour in the water tower
At the big wrap party tonight!
In our toon careers,
These are the golden years!
We've loved the jokes,
So thank you, folks!
You've eaten your fill,
Now here's the bill
For the big wrap party
Yakko :
Pay with your credit cardy!
The Warners :
At the big wrap party tonight!
The big wrap party tonight!
