Yakko: In Hollywood they have a different language that they speak
It`s spoken by those folks who went to school for just one week
Dot: It`s found inside Variety, a magazine they use
Y+D: And no one understands it when they read the movie news.
Dot: Like `Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix`
Yakko: Means someone made a movie that bombed
Dot: `The veeps in charge are now at large`
Yakko: Means everyone involved is gone.
Dot: `The plot conflix; no beautiful chix`
Yakko: So it`s coming out on video soon
Dot: They`re `taking their lix`
`Cause the critics say `nix`
Yakko: 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.
Dot: If you want the `poop`
Yakko: Or you need the `scoop`
Y+D: On Hollywood town this week
You`re gonna have to learn to talk that Variety Speak!
Dot: `A boffo smash makes Warner cash`
Yakko: Means there`s gonna be a sequel next year
Dot: But `Paramount hurts and they`re losing their shirts`
Yakko: Means Schwarzenegger`s doing King Lear.
Dot: `Oliver Stone does next Home Alone`
Yakko: Means he`s getting paid an arm and a leg
The budget goes `crunch`
Dot: But his name `packs punch`
Yakko: 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.
YW+D : You gotta play it smart
If you wanna be part
Of the crowd that`s hip and chic
You`re gonna have to learn to talk that Variety Speak!
Yakko: Normal talk makes producers walk
Y+D: You might as well speak Greek
You`re gonna have to learn...
Wakko: Or the meeting will adjourn...
YW+D : Unless, my friend, you learn that Variety Speak!
