Yakko's Universe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Yakko's Universe" is a song from Animaniacs sung by Yakko Warner.It is sung like the Galaxy Song from Monty Python though some of the facts are missing and it is set to a whole new tune. The song starts out with the Warner Siblings on celebrating Christmas, then to have Yakko start singing about the universe. He explains the possibilities of people living out there and also that more universes might exist.

Yakko: Everybody lives on a street in a city

      Or a village or a town for what it's worth.
      And they're all inside a country which is part of a continent
      That sits upon a planet known as Earth.
      And the Earth is a ball full of oceans and some mountains
      Which is out there spinning silently in space.
      And living on that Earth are the plants and the animals
      And also the entire human race.

      It's a great big universe
      And we're all really puny
      We're just tiny little specks
      About the size of Mickey Rooney.
      It's big and black and inky
      And we are small and dinky
      It's a big universe and we're not.

      And we're part of a vast interplanetary system
      Stretching seven hundred billion miles long.
      With nine planets and a sun; we think the Earth's the only one
      That has life on it, although we could be wrong.
      Across the interstellar voids are a billion asteroids
      Including meteors and Halley's Comet too.
      And there's over fifty moons floating out there like balloons
      In a panoramic trillion-mile view.

      And still it's all a speck amid a hundred billion stars
      In a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
      It's sixty thousand trillion miles from one end to the other
      And still that's just a fraction of the way.
      'Cause there's a hundred billion galaxies that stretch across the sky
      Filled with constellations, planets, moons and stars.
      And still the universe extends to a place that never ends
      Which is maybe just inside a little jar!

YW+D : It's a great big universe

      And we're all really puny
      We're just tiny little specks
      About the size of Mickey Rooney.

• Though we don't know how it got here
• We're an important part here
• It's a big universe and it's ours!

• - In the original script, these lines were:

YW+D : You might think that you're essential

      Try inconsequential
      It's a small world after all!
