Yakko: In Hollywood they have a different language that they speak
It's used by all the folks who went to school for just one week
It's found inside Variety, a magazine they use
Y+D : And no one understands it when they read the movie news
Yakko : Like "Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix"
Means someone made a movie that bombed
"The veeps in charge are now at large"
Means everyone involved is gone
"The plot conflix; no beautiful chix"
So it's coming out on video soon
They're "taking their lix"
'Cause the critics say "nix"
And the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mix
Dot: But the "stock sees green" on page thirteen
Yakko: Means Disney's up a nickel a share
Dot : "Stallone cuts deal for a major reel"
Yakko: Means Rocky number six, so beware
If you want the "poop"
Dot: Or you need the "scoop"
Y+D : On Hollywood town this week
You're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety Speak!
Girls: Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
Yakko: "A boffo smash makes Warner cash"
Means there's gonna be a sequel next year
"Paramount hurts and they're losing their shirts"
Means Schwarzenegger's doing King Lear
"Oliver Stone does next Home Alone"
Means he's getting paid an arm and a leg
The budget goes "crunch"
But his name "packs punch"
So they called up the accountants and they're gonna "do lunch"!
Dot : Well, the "ratings smile" on the O.J. trial
Yakko: Means a movie of the week to premiere
Dot : "Universal cuts deal with Mister Spiel"
Yakko: To do a hundred thousand movies a year
You gotta play it smart
If you wanna be part
Of the crowd that's hip and chic
The Warners: You're gonna have to learn to talk that Variety Speak!
Girls: Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
Yakko: Normal talk makes producers walk
You might as well speak Greek
You're gonna have to learn
Wakko: Or the meeting will adjourn
The Warners : Unless, my friend, you learn that Variety Speak!
Girls: Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
Bob-a-doo-bop! A-bob-a-doo-bah!
The Warners : Bah-doop-bah-doop-bah-doop-bahhh-dah!
