"We Could Try and Do It, Santa" Song - Animaniacs - Hulu
"We Could Try to Do It, Santa" is a song from the Animaniacs rebootSantamaniacs ." It is performed by Yakko Warner (Rob Paulsen ), Wakko Warner (Jess Harnell ), Dot Warner (Tress MacNeille ), and Santa Claus (John DiMaggio ).
Description The Warner siblings sing this song to convince an exhausted and bitter Santa to resume delivering gifts around the world, despite his lack of passion for the job anymore. Santa occasionally chimes in with his own comments. Eventually, he relents and resumes his Christmas delivery job with the Warners joining him in his sleigh.
Lyrics Yakko :Well, we could try to do it, Santa, but without your magic ways, There's no way we'd fit eight billion presents in this tiny sleigh We don't know how to make reindeer fly, and even if we did It would take us weeks to ride from Puerto Rico to Madrid. Since we've only got one evening to deliver all these toys To a billion different households full of parents, girls and boys We would need an average sleigh speed of at least 12 miles per second That's not counting bathroom breaks Unless this sleigh's got a poop deck and I think- Prancer and the others might burn up if we're that fast Due to atmospheric drag just like a meteoric blast ‘Cause these speeds would mean these reindeer reach 3,000 Fahrenheit They'd explode just moments into our inaugural Christmas flight! And a sonic boom would work its way through Dasher, Donner, Dancer, Soon engulfing Cupid, Comet; Santa, this can't be the answer! See the last thing that we'd wanna do is make the reindeer yelp! Yakko, Wakko , and Dot : We could try to do it, Santa, But we think we'd need your help! Santa Claus :Exploding reindeer is a risk I'm willing to take! Yakko: That's one cranky Kringle! Santa Claus: No! Bad Prancer! Wakko: We could try to do it, Santa, but for us three Christmas rookies, That's an awful lot of milk, and that's an awful lot of cookies Let's assume four choc-chip biscuits and a pint of milk per house That's 100,000 pounds of sugar! Only counting Laos. In Africa alone, the three of us would have to drink 600 million milky gallons, which is just enough, I think, to fill up Every single pool in Miami and Tallahassee And Yakko can't drink milk at all, the lactose makes him gassy! Before the night is out, each one of us will have knocked back Roughly seven trillion calories, that's not including snacks. And our weight gain would be somewhere north of six quintillion tons Which would make our bodies denser than the plasma in the sun. We'd implode upon ourselves, just like three mini neutron stars Each exerting the same pull as the gravity of Mars And our mass would tear the Earth into a million tiny shreds! Yakko, Wakko, and Dot: We could try to do it, Santa, But think you should go instead! Santa Claus: Okay, okay. Maybe you got a point. Dot: We could try to do it, Santa, but... Santa Claus: I see where this is going... Dot: Without using mass surveillance, we would have no way of knowing Which of all the girls and boys were nice, and which ones have been naughty But the problem is this spying thing won't fly in federal court See, we would need to put a wiretap on every single phone And log every single web search, and pilot every drone ‘Till we had a constant feed of every single child on Earth And with every single second, Santa, five more moms give birth! See, there's just no way to spy on all those kids all by ourselves So, we'd have to form an agency from all your worker elves With a team of thousands; sure, maybe we could handle the load Then, one would surely blow the whistle, though, our own elf Edward Snowden . Then, our crooked operation would collapse in on itself, And Vlad would give asylum to that loose-lipped little elf And we'd take the fall, we're not above the law in any way Yakko, Wakko, and Dot: We could try to do it, Santa, But we're not the NSA !!! Trivia When Yakko sings about Puerto Rico and Madrid (and tries to point out Laos), he points at a map and dons a graduation cap as a reference to "Yakko's World ."
The joke about Yakko being lactose intolerant is a reference to an end credit stinger from episode 25 of the original Animaniacs Animaniacs fan-fiction by Mimi0204 called Big Brother's Responsibility ; which became a meme within the Animaniacs fandom in 2020-2021. Audio
