Animaniacs (Related Recordings) "A Quake! A Quake!" |
On a star-lit winter night The moon is shinning bright, Back in January od 1994 At 4:30 in the morning, Without a single warning, Something strange begins to move the floor... A Quake! A Quake! The house begins to shake You're bouncing across the floor And watching all your dishes break You're sleeping there's a quake You're instantly awake You're leaping out of bed and shouting: "Oh! For heaven's sake!" I ran outside with neighbours, Their faces filled with shocks That's because I'm standing there in nothing but my socks oops! A quake! A quake! This must be a mistake Just feel the ground go up and down "Won't someone hit the brake?" A quake! A quake! Oh what a mess the make! The bricks, the walls, the chimney falls, destruction it's wake I did not have insurance I called them from the scene And suddenly I'm listening to an answering machine say: "Too late, too late, you shouldn't ought to wait, 'Cause now you're stuck, we wish you luck, here comes a six point-eight!" Whose fault? whose fault? It's San Andeas's 'Cause Mr. Richter can't predict her kicking our asphalt Seismologists all say tectonic plates are in between An encroaching crustal mantle, Yeah, so what the hecks that mean?! It means a quake! a quake! "Oh really, yeah no fake? We kind of got that feeling when the ground began to shake!" Californa great, It's such a lovely state But every lawn is sitting on a continental plate Los Angelas had fires, and a riot, and a foold and then a drought, then a Recssion And now we hear this thud of a quake! a quake! How much more can we take? We thought that we had seen it all But this one takes the cake! The dirt, the rocks, those crazy after-shocks It's just the planet moving granite several city blocks L.A. town is falling down, while the ground moves around, We won't let it get us down We're Californians! A quake, a quake It's time to pull up stake We're all fed up we can't deny it Fires, Quakes, and Floods, and Riots, We just want some peace and queit So we're moving to Beirut!!!!
