Animaniacs - When You're Traveling From Nantucket lyrics

Announcer: And now
Yakko Warner sings about time

Yakko: When you're traveling from Nantucket
Through Chicago to St paul
And you're standing in an airport and
You look upon the wall
There's a clock for every city and
A different time for all
From Asia through Malaysia to Peru

Yakko: Did you ever wonder why that
When it's ten o'clock in Maine
At precisely the same moment
It is 3 AM in Spain?
When it's breakfast time in Rome
They're having lunch in the Ukraine
And it's supper up in upper Kathmandu

Yakko: If the Earth were spinning faster as
The sun is going past her
Than a day would only be an hour long
And school, when they begin it
Would only last a minute
Before everybody has to run along
Wakko and Dot: All right!

Yakko: If the Earth were the planet
That was closest to the sun
A year would be much shorter and
You'd have a lot of fun
'Cause by the time you were in first grade
You'd be over twenty-one
And you'd live to be nine hundred, three
Or four

Yakko: Time is relative, dependent
You can save it, you can spend it
Doing things you like to do or learning how
Wakko: You can't see it, you can't taste it
Dot: But, you certainly can waste it
Yakko: Which is really what we're
Doing here right now!
Yakko: The international date line's
An imaginary cleft
Today is on the right side
And tomorrow's on the left
So when you cross it
Do you then arrive the day before you left?
That's how it'd work, it's quite berserk
You see

Yakko: So if you were born in
China while I'm born in Carolina
Well, then, you're a day ahead of me, you see
So the way I've got it reckoned
If we're born in the same second
Then why should you be a day older than me?

Yakko: But it really is no miracle
The difference in our birth
Because the world is spherical
That's why around the Earth
The Warners: There's always different
Times for Moscow london, Boston and Ft worth
Yakko: And that's the way
It's always gonna be

Yakko: So remember
When you're traveling from Nantucket
To St paul
And that airport as you're staring at
Those clocks upon the wall
You should think about this song, my friend
And then you will recall
Wakko: That it was mildly amusing
Dot: But then totally confusing
The Warners: And we bet you wish
We hadn't sung at all!
