Wakko: Maybe we are dogs
Cute little dogs with ears
Woof woof! (pant)
And little tails that we can wag
Hey! Let's go fetch his slippers and play tag!
DrSns: Hey, get off of me!
Dot : Maybe I'm a cat
Whaddaya think of that?
A lovely cat that all the world adores
And here's my kitty paws
With little kitty claws
Which I like to sharpen on your couch!
DrSns: Augghh! That's not funny!
Yakko: Maybe I'm a bunny
Hopping 'round here happy as I please
Or penguins and it's cold, which makes you sneeze.
Yakko: I've got it! Of course!
Maybe I'm a horse
I can live on oats and hay
And laugh and run and jump and play
And you can ride on me all day!
DrSns: No way!
Dot : Hey, maybe I'm a skunk
DrSns: Oh boy, you really stink!
Yakko: A dinosaur might be some fun
DrSns: But then you'd be extinct.
Dot : Maybe we're all insects
Wakko: Do you like bugs and bees?
DrSns: You kids are buggy in the head
Yakko: Maybe we're giant fleas!
Dot : Maybe an electric eel
Wakko: Or a seal
Dot : Get real!
Hey wait a minute, I've got it now
DrSns: You do?!
Dot : Yes, I do.
YW+D : We're not bees and we're not cats
Or bugs or horses or things like that.
What we are is clear and absolute!
What we are, dear doctor...
Dot : Is cute!
YW+D : Mmmmwah!
DrSns: I'm sorry I asked.
