(intro)
YW+D : Kids' WB! presents, you see
A person you might want to be
Those Crazy Careers!
(see below for individual episodes)
(close)
YW+D : That's our song
And now so long
From Crazy Careers!
Yakko : At five o'clock she'll wake up
Get dressed and put on make-up
The crew is out; they're ready to fly
Dot : She's cute and photographic
Her job is watching traffic
From a helicopter high in the sky
Yakko : She goes up; she goes down
She goes flying around
She's always there live on the scene
Where you'll find her up in the sky
Looking down at some guy
Who stopped on the pass
'Cause he ran out of gas, and it's clear
YW+D : 'Cause when it's bumper-to-bumper down there
We're sure glad we're up here!
Dot : If your teeth are a disaster
We'll make some out of plaster
And we'll shove them up inside of your head.
Yakko : And that's what we do
So if you like to chew
On that bubble gum, candy and cake
Then you better use toothpaste and floss
And brush down and across
'Cause if you don't brush 'em
Then we'll have to flush 'em, it's true
YW+D : And then we'll give you some teeth
That connect to your head with some glue!
Yakko : They first turn on the power
Then dump in lots of flour
It's a complicated process ahead
Dot : A bakery is a factory
And all it does is exactly
Is to turn a bunch of dough into bread
Yakko : It gets cut into layers
And put on conveyors
That move it all around the machine
So we can add some body and some malt
And some sugar and salt
Then we cook it and we bake it
And that's how we're making bread here, you see
YW+D : And the best part of all
When you work here
You get some for free!
MJFrog: To make a microchip is tricky
So you have to be nit-picky
Can't have dirt or nothing sticky anywhere
Wakko : I wear a funny suit with hoses
It's designed so it encloses
All my fingers and my toeses and my germs
MJFrog: You know, a clean room's quite exotic
There's machines they call robotic
And they have to be methodic when they make the chip, it's true
YW+D : Because a little piece of dust
Can cause a microchip to bust
That's why they're clean when we go fetch them
Then we stamp them then we etch them
And then once we ship that microchip to you
Frog : We'll make it obsolete by building one that's new!
Yeah!
Yakko : Here's the place to stuff your face
'Cause what we do all day
Is grind corn up into strips
To make fried tortilla chips
Yakko : We take each piece with elbow grease
And grind it into paste
FogLeg: Six thousand chips a minute
We ain't got no time to waste
Yakko : The chips we make, machines all take
And move without a snag
Tweety: And when they're done, they drop each one
Inside a little bag
Yakko : So shove those chips into your lips
And then they'll end up on your hips!
Yakko : Here's a guy who likes to fly
Up really high above
He's trained and he's prepared
He's nervous; he's not scared
Yakko : With pressure suits and special boots
A helmet on his face
FogLeg: He's dressed up like the astronauts
Who go into outer space
Yakko : The earth's below and here we go
Way up into the sky
Tweety: And afterward, we're like a bird
That's seven miles high
Yakko : Avoid those pesky crowds
Try working in the clouds!
Yakko : Here's a stack of paper
We move her and we shape her
To print the daily paper for you
Dot : Steer and direct it
And then we all inspect it
For the ink and paint and color and glue
Yakko : All the different sections
Go off in ten directions
And have to pass inspections by me
Look at all the stuff that we use
Just to bring you the news
Like the pictures and the stories
In the different categories you need
YW+D : And we print it for you
So we hope that you learn how to read.
Yakko : We're the place that makes the face
That models your clothes
We make the mannequins you see in the store
Yakko : I take this pup and carve it up
And look what you get
Yakko : Making body parts is graphic arts
And tricky to do
Wakko : So how'd you like to lend them a hand?
Yakko : The factory spreads with plaster heads
All over the place
Once we make them then we take them
And paint them each face
We give them eyes and ears and noses
Pinky : And ankles, feet and toeses
YW+D : To model panty hoses for you!
Yakko : When second base is stolen
He's got the cameras rollin'
He's back inside the trailer, you see
Dot : He's filming every sector
He's producer and director
Of a baseball game you watch on TV
Yakko : He's watching all these pictures
To get the perfect mixtures
And put them all together for you
So that every shot that you see
On your big-screen TV
Is designed and it's proven
To keep it all movin' on cue
YW+D : And now back to you!
Yakko : Bought every tool
And went to school
And mastered my trade
Now I'm repairing these ball bearings each day
Yakko : I've got guts
I may be nuts
But oh what a view
Yakko : Up we go
And moving slow
And picking up speed
Wakko : We're standing twenty storeys high in the air
Yakko : So take a ride
Just step inside
We're closing the doors
While you're talking
It beats walking
Up those seventeen floors
It's safe and strong and stable
Pinky : So trust that union label
YW+D : And pray that stupid cable holds on!
MJFrog: When you're supposed to mow the lawn
But both your mom and dad are gone
And so you flip the TV on
To watch a show
Wakko : Ah, you're stumped and mystified
At how that screen that's really wide
Has all those circuit boards inside
YW+D : That make it go
Wakko : Well, here's the place we build 'em
Once we've soldered 'em and drilled 'em
Then we've made sure that we've filled 'em
Up with wire
MJFrog: So come and watch us do it
And you'll see how we go through it
'Cause there's really nothin' to it
When you make big-screen TVs
YW+D : Just take a ??????
And then shove them all together
But you gotta use precision
Under constant supervision
And then once that television's out the door
MJFrog: Today we'll only have to make a hundred more.
Yeah!
Yakko : I can float
'Cause I'm the boat
That pushes ships around
When they need to move that barge
I'm the guy in charge
Yakko : Grab that wheel
I love to feel
We're sailing out to sea
FogLeg: I say, a tugboat captain, that's the guy
I really wanna be
Yakko : It's what I crave
To feel that wave
Go crashing cross the bow
Tweety: We're off the land, on water
And I'm really seasick now
Yakko : So don't be a stuffy snob
Get a really pushy job!
Yakko : She's a vet
And you can bet
That you could be too
Because all your friends belong in the zoo
Yakko : All her pals
Are animals
Like monkeys and chimps
Yakko : Electric eels
And barking seals
Are funny and nice
Wakko : I love to watch them open wide and say "Ah!"
Yakko : I like the mammals
And the camels
And the elephants too
I'm a vet'rinary doctor
And I love what I do
So let turtles be your clients
Pinky : And crocodiles and lions
YW+D : Take biologic science in school!
Yakko : Feast your eyes
'Cause we're the guys
Whose job is making paint.
You want pink or navy blue?
We do periwinkle, too.
Yakko : Play it smart
We always start
By putting it in cans.
FogLeg: Got to be real careful, son
Don't spill it on your hands.
YW+D : To paint your wall
Just give a call
'Cause we're the guys you need.
Tweety: Any color of the spectrum
And it's ten-year guaranteed.
Yakko : So go buy some at the store
Then they'll pay us to make more!
MJFrog: Are you the kind who likes to eat
A tasty treat that's nice and sweet?
Well, here's a job that can't be beat
It's what I do.
Wakko : They mix it up real fine
On a big assembly line
Then the tasting part is mine
As I walk through.
MJFrog: Creamy flavor or non-dairy
Lemon, lime, vanilla, cherry
Chocolate, grape, or boysenberry
How 'bout ?? ripple too?
YW+D : Or maple walnut almond fudge
Hey, I'm the guy who gets to judge
That chocolate chip and rocky road
I eat my Corn Flakes à la mode
And I just hope I don't explode right off my feet.
MJFrog: Now bring on all that ice cream and let's eat!
MJFrog: That spoiled milk you didn't drink
And so you dumped it down the sink
Well, did you ever stop to think
"Where does it go?"
Wakko : Well, there's a guy with a projector
And a camera-type detector
Called a Sewer Line Inspector
YW+D : He would know.
Wakko : He'd say it all goes down the sewer
Where you find all that manure
And it keeps on movin' through 'er
Don't ya know.
MJFrog: So be a Sewer Line Inspector
In the Public Service sector
Like a Hollywood director
Taking pictures on the scene
Of all that crud that's floating by
I'm a manhole-covered guy
Looking underneath the street
At all that stuff you didn't eat
And making sure that it just keeps on floating by.
Let's hear it for those crazy sewer guys.
Yakko: It's fun to eat
It's sticky, sweet
And loaded with fat
And we eat it every chance that we get.
Yakko: And here's the place
We stuff our face
And gulp it all down.
Yakko: If we could wish
For any dish
To have that we like
Wakko: We'd eat caramel corn the rest of our lives.
Yakko: It may not be nutritious
But delicious, you bet
When you eat the stuff
Your stomach's playing Russian roulette
And that's the way we do it
Pinky: So you can get to chew it
YW+D : There's really nothing to it
You see!
Yakko : I jump into the water
And go underneath a ship
With my flippers
Wakko : And my mask
Yakko : I'm the guy who's got the task
To make sure that boat can stay afloat
By fixing all the holes
And so I wear a rubber suit
And then my body doesn't freeze
Wakko : My welding torch is burning at
YW+D : Ten thousand hot degrees
It's exciting, never dull
When you're melting down a hull
MJFrog: You can stay beneath the waves
And when the job is done at last
You can swim with all the fish
Yakko : And have yourself a great big blast
Dot : So get it done with flair
Wakko : And go to work where there's no air
YW+D : And you can be an underwater welder too!
Yakko : People pass
They're moving fast
And screaming out loud
'Cause they can't believe they're paid to do this.
Yakko : It's daring and it's scaring
And you just wet your pants.
Yakko : Here we go
At first it's slow
And then we go fast
Wakko : It's exciting! Look! They're riding, no hands!
Yakko : Down the hill, hey what a thrill
We're moving mach ten
Filled with fright and knuckles tight
Let's do it again!
'Cause when that rollercoaster goes up
Pinky : It never really slows up
YW+D : 'Til everybody throws up on you!
MJFrog: Have you played that big arcade and thought to yourself,
"I wonder what's inside that pinball machine"?
About a million parts, electric charts, and bundles of wire.
FogLeg: Most confusing thing I've ever seen!
MJFrog: A bunch of things like tiny springs and pulleys and gears,
Microchips and metal clips all wired to ground
With lots of bells and whistles
Pinky : So lights have a sound!
MJFrog: All just so you can knock that little pinball around.
Brain : World domination -- now there's a game.
Tweety: That's what's in a pinball machine.
