CARA: Turn the page when you hear the falling anvil sound. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN: Okay, Let's begin.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Storyline
RYAN: It was hotter than blazes, about a hundred and ten, so we stayed in the house in the air conditionin'.

We just hung around My sister and me And watched countless hours Of daytime TV.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Too hot to go out We'd melt in the sun So we stared at the tube Which isn't much fun.

All we could do was watch, watch Watch, watch 'Til I spilled lots of soda All over my...OOPS, excuse me! (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) Then we heard a kaboom! That kaboom shook the room We turned and into our house something slid.

A strange-looking fellow The Kid in the Lid And he said to us

Yakko: "Oops. Now look what I did.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) "Now, we all know it's hot And you don't have a pool But there are lots of fun things We can do that are cool.

"The first silly thing we can do..."

RYAN: Said the kid Yakko: "...is play with some glue!" RYAN: Said the kid in the lid.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Yakko: "Lots of wet glue

We'll make a big mess We'll glue things together Your parents will stress."

RYAN : But our parents were out

They were gone for a week To be truthful They'd been gone for a 90-day streak. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) The last that we heard They were in the Bahamas Leaving us here To face childhood traumas.

As for playing with glue My sis said

CARA: "Let's do it!"

RYAN: "Kids need to have fun."

I shouted, "Let's glue it!" (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN: But our pet woodchuck said

"No, that kid has to leave Open the door And give him the heave.

He doesn't seem normal

He doesn't seem well Besides that, his pants Have a real funny smell. Oops, excuse me!"

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Yakko: "Hey, woodchuck, calm down

Just relax"

RYAN : ...said the kid.

Yakko: "It's you who smells bad"

RYAN : Said the kid in the lid. Yakko: "I bet you've not washed

In at least seven months So I strongly suggest That we bathe you at once. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) "In the tub..."

RYAN:                said the kid

Yakko: "...goes the smelly woodchuck

Use lots of shampoo To cut through all the muck."

RYAN: "No, stop!" yelled our woodchuck. "Get me out of this tub!" As the water got deeper, the woodchuck went blub!

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Yakko: "It's OK"

RYAN: said the kid

Yakko: "I won't let you drown

I'll pull on this chain So the water goes down.

"And the woodchuck goes too And he goes down the drain And comes out the potty In considerable pain." (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN: Then the toilet exploded

A messy disaster The water rose up And wrecked all the plaster.

It surged down the hallway And flooded the den It filled up the kitchen And bedrooms and then... (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) It splashed out the door And into the street Where it provided relief From the afternoon heat.

Kids came from all over To splash in the lake Not knowing the source Was our potty break. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

CARA: "They're swimming in water

Straight out of our toilet!"

RYAN: "Think we should tell 'em?" Yakko: "Nah! That'd just spoil it!" RYAN: "Ooh! You're going to get it!" Said our woodchuck, upset You ruined our house

And got everything wet! (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) "I think you're insane You're rude and you're naughty To make matters worse I'm stuck in this potty!"

Yakko: "Perhaps you should nap

You need sleep"

RYAN: said the kid

Then all of us watched As that kid closed the lid. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) Then he went running off And in less than an hour The kid had come back With a small water tower.

Yakko: "I've returned" RYAN: said the kid Yakko: "I've returned with this tower

It would have been sooner     But I needed a shower." (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN: He opened the top and shouted

Yakko:            "Let's play!"

Boy : Then out sprang two kids

Who responded

Wakko and Dot :              "OK!"

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Yakko: "These two are my sibs

They're fun; wait and see May I proudly present Kid Two and Kid Three?"

Boy : They gave us a kiss

Then said

W+D :           "Helloooo, nurse! Excuse us!"

RYAN: The first kid was trouble

But these two seem worse! (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) "Hi! How're you doing? That's Mary; I'm Scooter" Kid Two looked at Mary Then whispered

Dot :                "I'm cuter." RYAN : Then they ran all around

Doing impossible feats Acting like kids Who've had too many sweets. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) Kid Three said

Wakko:               "I'm hungry"

RYAN: His eyes started twitchin'

He shot out the room And ran into the kitchen.

He opened the cupboards And then started chewing On cans of tomatoes And carrots for stewing. (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!) He gulped down the flour Some dry macaroni Three bottles of ketchup And then Rice-A-Roni!

Dot : "The San Francisco Treat!" RYAN : He ate all the dishes

But didn't stop there He swallowed the sink Then our new Frigidare.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Wakko: "Hey, that was delicious

Thanks for the snacks I'm hypoglycaemic. I get munchie attacks."

Ryan : Then we heard a loud blast and ran out the door.

The WB Kids were now playing war! (SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

CARA: "Oh no! You must stop this!"

RYAN: Said Sis to Kid Two.

CARA: "It's this sort of playing

You just mustn't do!"

Dot : "I'm sorry; we can't

It's too late; we've begun We always play war Until somebody's won."

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN : Then the walls started cracking

And the ceiling gave in We ran out the door As the whole house caved in.

Then, oh! what bad timing For, right then and there Our parents returned So we said a quick prayer.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN AND CARA : "Don't let them be angry"

RYAN: We said it again

RYAN AND CARA : "Don't let them be angry

Oh, please, please! Amen."

RYAN: Our parents were dazed

They stood there dumbfounded As they looked at the damage We knew we'd be grounded.

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

Yakko: "Well, that was some fun

But enough for one day Give us a call And we'll come back to play."

(FUNERAL MARCH by CHOPIN, followed by Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2 by Franz Liszt) Wakko: "Ha, ha! We got ya!"

Dot : "Yeah. We were just kiddin'."

Yakko: "We'll rebuild your house

And then paint it with Glidden."

(SLIDE WHISTLE GOING DOWN, CLANG!)

RYAN: And that's what they did

And in less than a jiffy The house was rebuilt And it looked really spiffy.

That night, we ate well It had been quite a day But now life was happy It was all A-OK.

Outro
RYAN: That's the end.
