Lyrics Dr. Scratchansniff Wake up! It's late! It's 20 minutes after 8! Everyone get up, it's time to go Up and at them now Come on, shake a leg! Have some juice and scrambled egg On the floor and out the door Let's get on our way! Dot Hey, watch out! Yakko What's the matter? Dot :You almost knocked me off the ladder! Yakko :No, I didn't! Dot :Yes you did, I almost fell! Yakko :Aww, don't exaggerate Dot :I'm not! Yakko :Yeah, right Dot :Are you trying to pick a fight? Yakko :Will you get out of my face? Dot :Well, you're always in my space! Dr. Scratchansniff :Hey, get off each other's case Because we're trying to get along Wakko I want pancakes, or a waffle This tastes awful, is that all we've got? Can't find my clothes and I need to blow my nose And my socks are full of holes And my shoelace has a knot! Dot :That's my toothbrush! Yakko :No, it's not! Dot :Well, it's sitting in my slot! Yakko :No it isn't; this is mine and that one's yours. Dot :Well, you're standing in my way! Yakko :Yeah, that's tough! Dr. Scratchansniff :Alright, now that's enough! Everybody get your stuff Because we're going out the door! Every time we get into the car it's so much work It takes us twenty minutes while you're driving me berserk With your playing and your jumping And your running all about When I finally get you inside, You always lock me out! Dot :I'm mad, I'm mad! I'm really, really, really mad! You poked me with your elbow in my side! Yakko :No, I didn't! Dot :Yes, you did! Yakko :Nuh-uh! Dot :You did! And I'm just a little kid! You're lying! Don't deny it! Yakko :Well, I'm gonna hit you! Dot :Yeah, just try it! Dr. Scratchansniff :Will both of you be quiet? Cause we're driving in a car! Dot :Ow! He hit me! Yakko :Ow, she bit me! Dot :He said he's gonna get me! Yakko :No, I didn't! Dot :Yes, you did! Dr. Scratchansniff :All right, that's it! Now I forbid Either one of you to say another word! Wakko :Are we there yet? I'm tired! I'm hungry! How far? My nose is snotty, need to move my body Gotta use the potty, better stop the car! Dot :Stop it!
Yakko :No, you stop it!
Dr. Scratchansniff :Why can't you both just drop it? Dot :Well, he started it! Yakko :Oh, yeah, I'm really sure, uh-huh!
Dot :Nuh-uh! Yakko :Uh-uh! Dot :It's your fault! Yakko :No, it's not Your leg is in my spot! Dr. Scratchansniff :Yakko, you be quiet! And that goes for you too, Dot! Every time we take a trip, it's always just the same With the fighting and the biting And the calling all those names, Then there's pushing and there's shoving And there's scratching on the neck When we finally get to where we're going Everyone's a wreck! The Warners :Yak yak yak yak, yak yak yak yak, yak yak yak yak yak!
Dot :I'm mad, I'm mad! I'm really, really, really mad! You poked me with your elbow in my side! Yakko :No, I didn't! Dot :Yes, you did! You did! And I'm just a little kid Dr. Scratchansniff :Will both of you be quiet? Cause we're driving in a car!
Wakko :Are we there yet? I'm tired! I'm hungry! How far?
My nose is snotty, need to move my body Gotta use the potty, better stop the car!
Dr. Scratchansniff :We're here, we're here! Doesn't anybody want to give a cheer? Yakko :You mean this is where we're all gonna spend the day? Dot :At the circus? Wakko :Hey, guys, look! They got rides! Dr. Scratchansniff :Now you're satisfied? Alright, everyone inside, And let's have some fun, okay? Dot :I'm glad, I'm glad! What a really great time we had! You see those lions and those tigers? Weren't they neat? Dr. Scratchansniff :Are you happy now? Dot :We are, thanks a lot! I'm sorry that we fought From now on I'll get along Yakko :That's alright, Dot, I was wrong. Dr. Scratchansniff :Ah that's nice, now come along, Let's all get in the car Dot :You can take the seat you like, You're always so gallant Yakko :Aw, thank you, Dot, but ladies first, You take the seat you want Dr. Scratchansniff :Everybody's happy now,
We've had a real good day
And now it's time to go back home So let's be on our way! Dot : You hit me!Yakko : No, I didn't!Dot : Yes, you did. Stop it!Yakko : No, you stop it!Dot : Move your leg!Yakko : No, you move your leg!Dot : You started it!Yakko : No, I didn't, you did!Dot : No, I didn't, you did!
Yakko: Started what? Don't you cross that line! This is where the line is, right here! Dr. Scratchansniff, she started it!
Dot: You always start it! You're not the boss of me! Oh, yeah, since when? Get out of my face! I'm the boss here!
[arguing continues and fades out] Trivia The melody of this song has been used for other songs including the prior "Mean Old Man " from "A Christmas Plotz ," and later "A-Zit " in the 2020 Animaniacs rebootof the same name .
Both of the actors for Yakko and Dot, Rob Paulsen and Tress MacNeille, were having so much fun with recording the argument scene at the end of the song, that they both started cursing as their characters. The directors told them to stop, and during the record version, the song would fade out as Yakko and Dot fight as an attempt to hide the cursing.[citation needed Select PAL prints of episode 69 crop this cartoon to 4:3, rather than letterboxing it.
The theatrical film print would not resurface in full until a YouTube upload by FT Depot on September 27, 2023. However, Warner Bros. issued a copyright strike against the video the following day and removed it. It has since been archived .
