* Demo kawaii (Variable lyric)
Animaniakkusu
Hajimaru-yo!

Variable lyrics, with the English versions they represent and translations:

Demo kawaii           Here's the show's namey     But we're cute
Pinkii ando Burein    Pinky and The Brainy        Pinky and the Brain
Demo aishite          Come back, Shaney           But you'll love us
Yuu utsuna ame        The rain in Spainy          Depressing rain
Buttonderu            Cockamamie                  (similar definition)
Anata-wa rakkii       Shirley MacLainey           You're lucky
Chotto ricchi-ni      How urbaney                 A little rich
Kore-wa sori          Citizen Kaney               This is a sled



English translation by Ron "Keeper" O'Dell

Let's go, Animaniacs!
C'mon, act nonsensically!
Once laughter begins
It cannot be stopped!
Go, Animaniacs!

We're the Warner Brothers
I'm the Sister, Dot!
Our movie job makes us cheery.
We like to do things at the spur of the moment
But keep getting caught.
Let's sneak away slyly and wreak havoc!

Go, Animaniacs!
Yakko's along with Dot
When Wakko makes us complete
We have nothing to fear.
Go, Animaniacs!

Pinky and the Brain's
Sinister plot.
Goodfeathers also are fired up
With an outrageous
Group of friends.
We'll ignore the libretto and perform without rehearsal.

Go, Animaniacs!
We've entered into a contract
So anything goes.
C'mon, act nonsensically!
Indeed, we
Are too much to handle
(But we're cute!)
Animaniacs
begins!
