Yakko: In Hollywood they have a different language that they speak<br />
It's spoken by those folks who went to school for just one week<br />
Dot  : It's found inside Variety, a magazine they use<br />
Y+D  : And no one understands it when they read the movie news.<br />
<br />
Dot  : Like "Hix makes pix but the flick needs fix"<br />
Yakko: Means someone made a movie that bombed<br />
Dot  : "The veeps in charge are now at large"<br />
Yakko: Means everyone involved is gone.<br />
<br />
Dot  : "The plot conflix; no beautiful chix"<br />
Yakko: So it's coming out on video soon<br />
Dot  : They're "taking their lix"<br />
'Cause the critics say "nix"<br />
Yakko: And the editors are gonna try to fix it in the mix.<br />
<br />
Dot  : But the "stock sees green" on page thirteen<br />
Yakko: Means Disney's up a nickel a share<br />
Dot  : "Stallone cuts deal for a major reel"<br />
Yakko: Means Rocky number six, so beware.<br />
<br />
Dot  : If you want the "poop"<br />
Yakko: Or you need the "scoop"<br />

<br />
Dot  : "Oliver Stone does next Home Alone"<br />
