Skippy, you should have been asleep hours ago.

I know, Aunt Slappy, but I can't sleep.

I keep hearing Santa's sleigh.

Ah, that's just the L.A.P.D. choppers.

Santy ain't comin' till you're asleep, kiddo.

So get to bed.

But I'm not tired.

Tell me a story. Please.

Ah, for the love of Al Gore.

All right. One story. Then dreamland, okay?

Promise.

Okay, let's see.

Oh, you wanna hear about the time I stuffed live piranha

down the pants of Sonny Tufts?

No, a Christmas story.

Sonny was drinking eggnog at the time.

No, Aunt Slappy. Just read.

All right, already, Mr. Story-Editor. Sheesh.

[HACKING]

Spew!

Ahem.

"The Day Before Christmas.

"'Twas the day before Christmas in winter's deep freeze.

"But in Burbank, L.A., it was 90 degrees.

"Now, tonight is the night Santa comes to the lot,

"bringing presents for Yakko, Wakko and Dot.

"The kids were excited. They rushed to prepare.

But others looked on with a growing despair."

These gifts for the Warners,

someone's got to see to it.

They must be delivered. I want you to do it.

But I did it last year, or have you forgot?

Those kids drove me bonkies and kissed me a lot.

They made me stay up singing carols all night,

and then I got creamed in that big pillow fight.

But why bring them presents when Santa will do?

It's a clause in their contract.

If we don't, they can sue.

There must be a person who'd deliver this stuff.

But where can I find someone stupid enough?

Duh, good night, Mr. Costner.

Go ahead, pass on by.

Merry Christmas.

Okay, I love you. Bye-bye.

[GAGGING]

Duh, good night, Mr. Hippo.

Good night to you too.

Come along, Flavio. We've more shopping to do.

I'm hungry. Be quiet.

We don't wanna get caught.

There might be some trash cans with food on the lot.

Duh, good night, Mr. Keaton.

That's a lovely sedan.

Give him a Santa suit.

Ralph is our man.

YAKKO: So 'twas the night before Christmas

and all through the house--

Some creatures were stirring.

Including a mouse.

Tonight, my dear Pinky, our plan is unfurled.

We'll steal Santa's sleigh and take over the world.

Brain, you're a genius. You simply astound me.

[BRAIN SCREAMING]

Narf! Brain's gonna pound me.

[CRASHING]

The stockings were hung so our names clearly showed.

In hopes that old Santa would leave a big load.

Mwah. Good night, everybody.

The children were nestled all fast in their beds.

While visions of sugarplums danced in our heads.

Delicious!

[YAWNS]

We were all feeling tired when we turned out the light.

Forget it. There's no way I'm sleeping tonight.

When out on the lot, there arose such a rumble.

YAKKO: We sprang from our beds--

WAKKO: And we all took a tumble.

And what, to our wondering eyes, did we view?

DOT: But a cat and a dog in the garbage.

P-yew. [SLEIGHBELLS RINGING]

Then to our surprise we heard distant banters

of a miniature sleigh and eight pigeons with antlers.

I'm dying here. Oof!

This sure ain't no fun.

The guy in the suit, he must weigh a ton.

With a little old driver so lively and quick...

WAKKO: We knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick.

Duh, now, Bobby. Now, Squit.

Now, Pesto. Now, Vixen.

On, Comet. On, Cupid.

On, Richard and Nixon.

To the top of the tower. Come on now. Let's fly.

I just got a hernia thanks to this guy.

YAKKO: So up to the rooftop Santa was hurled.

As soon as it lands we'll take over the world.

Pinky, I am in considerable pain.

Narf! Zort! Poit! Gak!

I'm with you, Brain.

YAKKO: It was a time of excitement. The moment drew near.

DOT: There was no doubt about it.

WAKKO: Santa was here.

Your antlers look cute, Pesto.

All right, that's it!

[PESTO AND SQUIT SHOUTING]

Oh, Pesto! It's Christmas. Quit whackin' on Squit.

YAKKO: And while the pigeons with antlers were having their kicks,

Santa fell through the roof like a sack full of bricks.

He was dressed all in fur with a glaze in his eyes,

'cause the fall knocked him silly.

Uh, happy Easter, you guys.

His face, how it twinkled.

His dimples, how merry.

His cheeks were like roses.

His gut, that was scary.

WAKKO: He spoke not a word,

but instead went right to it.

He emptied his bag.

Ah, that ought to do it.

YAKKO: Then laying his finger inside of his nose--

Which the dear network censor finds totally gross.

WAKKO: Lumbering, up the tree trunk he rose.

DOT: He sprang to his sleigh and signaled the flock.

Duh, giddyap, birdies.

YAKKO: Then they dropped like a rock.

[CRASHING]

WAKKO: And we heard him exclaim

from up high in the sky...

SANTA CLAUS: Season's greetings to all.

YAKKO: And we saw him fly by.

Thanks, Santa. We mean it.

Yeah, thanks a whole lot.

SANTA CLAUS: And merry Christmas to Yakko, Wakko and Dot.

And merry Christmas, Aunt Slappy,

and to you girls and boys.

As for me...

[YAWNS]

I'm going downstairs to open my toys.

I've never seen a better Santa Claus.

He looks so real.

I almost believe he's Santa myself.

I want a Baby Go-Burp for Christmas.

Please, oh, my Santa.

[GASPS]

[BURPS]

Oh, thank you, Santa.

You're the best Santa in the world.

Mommy, Mommy, look. It's Baby Go-Burp.

[BURPS]

Santa, I've been very good,

and what I want is a Mister Dude action figure,

complete with polyester power suit and Dude accessories.

He is the real Santa. Yay!

No. No, Dad, don't make me.

Isn't he a little old to be afraid of Santa Claus?

Son, what the heck's wrong with you?

It's just Santa Claus.

He's a chicken, Dad. A giant chicken.

He'll peck my eyes out.

[OTHERS LAUGHING]

He should get that boy into therapy.

He has issues.

Don't make me sit on a chicken.

See? There's no reason

to be afraid of jolly old Saint Nick.

[GASPS]

You mean jolly old Saint Chick.

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS]

[CLUCKS]

He is a chicken!

[CLUCKS]

ALL: A chicken!

Mommy! Mommy! I got chicken germs on me!

What is the meaning of this?

Good heavens, it's a chicken!

He's traumatized the children.

We'll never shop here again.

[GROWLS]

You're fired. [CLUCKS]

Maybe they let chickens play Santa in Arkansas,

but that's not how we do things here in New York City.

[CLUCKING]

Ho, ho, ho, Chicken Boo,

just this once, because it's Christmas,

we're giving you a happy ending.

* Dashing through the snow *

* Everybody lives on a street *

* In a city or a village Or a town *

* For what it's worth *

* And they're all Inside a country *

* Which is part of a continent *

* That sits upon a planet Known as Earth *

* And the Earth is a ball *

* Full of oceans And some mountains *

* Which is out there Spinning silently in space *

* And living on that Earth Are the plants and the animals *

* And also the entire Human race *

* It's a great big universe And we're all really puny *

* We're just tiny Little specks *

* About the size Of Mickey Rooney *

* It's big and black and inky And we are small and dinky *

* It's a big universe And we're not *

* And we're part of a vast Interplanetary system *

* Stretching 700 Billion miles long *

* With nine planets and a sun *

* We think the Earth's The only one *

* That has life on it Although we could be wrong *

* In a galaxy We call the Milky Way *

* It's 60,000 trillion miles From one end to the other *

* And still that's Just a fraction of the way *

* 'Cause there's 100 billion galaxies *

* That stretch across the sky Filled with constellations *

* Planets, moons and stars *

* And still the universe extends To a place that never ends *

* Which is maybe Just inside a little jar *

* It's a great big universe And we're all really puny *

* We're just tiny Little specks *

*About the size Of Mickey Rooney *

* Though we don't know How it got here *

* We're an important part here *

* It's a big universe *
