Lyrics Announcer: And now, the Warners present: the Senses! Yakko The sense of sight is what guides us right when we go out on walks Wakko The sense of smell is the way to tell that you need to change your socks Dot The sense of touch is what hurts so much when you bang your toe on the bed Yakko :The sense of hearing is something good, cause if a tree falls in the wood, Would there be a sound? You bet there would... If it landed on top your head! The Warners :Your head! If a tree lands on top of your head! Wakko :The sense of taste affects your waist Yakko :Which makes five senses in all Dot :There's a sixth sense, too, but it's hard to explain It's a psychic connection inside of your brain So you can understand people like Shirley MacLaine Yakko :Who wear crystals they bought in the mall! The Warners :The mall! Who wear crystals they bought in the mall! Yakko :And now, the other senses! Dot :There are scents you can smell, like cologne from Chanel Or the scents of expensive perfume Yakko :There are scents of flowers we hope overpowers the kitty box next to your room. P-yew! Wakko :There's a sense of pride you have deep down inside Yakko :When you practice a sense of fair play Dot :There are dollars and cents that you pay at a toll Yakko :Or the census man who is taking a poll Wakko :And a sense of confusion, we're out of control... The Warners :And they really should take us away! Away! They really should take us away! Dot :There's a sense of humor, a sense of doom Or a sense of awe, sense of timing Yakko :The sense of a word, a sense of absurd, Like trying to do all this rhyming! Dot :There's incense Wakko :And horse sense Yakko :And common sense, it's true Dot :Sense of wonder, sense of beauty Wakko :Sense of honor, sense of duty Yakko :A sense of doubt, a sense of danger Dot :A sense of fear when you meet a stranger Wakko :A sense of style, a sense of worth Yakko :A sense of direction for knowing the earth The Warners :A sense of dread as we're singing this song That it's starting to turn out completely all wrong And it's time that we end it because it's too long..... Cause it just doesn't make any sense! Nonsense! This song doesn't make any sense! Trivia
