Song
The goofy song the Bugs Bunny "prototype" sings:
All the world was gay.
Swinging on its way.
Things were looking brighter day by day.(laugh)
Nothing ever wrong;
Life was just a song,
'Till that Looney Tune came along.(laugh)
Ohhh. I'm going cuckoo, woo-woo!
Here comes the choo-choo, woo-woo!
I'm so gooney, looney tuney, te'ched in the head...
Please pass the ketchup,
I think I'll go to bed! Hoo!
Am I the screwball, woo woo!
Throw me the 8-ball woo woo!
Once I knew a thing or two, but now I'm a buffer-roo. Hinky dinky parley woo woo!(laugh)
(Note: A buffer is gypsy slang, meaning a "square" or a "mark.")
Eight years later, the song would be varied somewhat and reprised by the now fully realized character Bugs Bunny, in Easter Yeggs:
Here's the Easter Rabbit, hooray!
The happy Easter Rabbit, hooray!
I am getting Looney Tuney, te'ched in the head
This whole thing is gooney, I should have stayed in bed. etc.

Famous quotes containing the word song:
“Christianity only hopes. It has hung its harp on the willows, and cannot sing a song in a strange land. It has dreamed a sad dream, and does not yet welcome the morning with joy. The mother tells her falsehoods to her child, but, thank heaven, the child does not grow up in its parent’s shadow. Our mother’s faith has not grown with her experience. Her experience has been too much for her. The lesson of life was too hard for her to learn.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I made my song a coat
Covered with embroideries
Out of old mythologies”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I am black and beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 1:5.
