When You're Traveling From Nantucket


 * Announcer:
 * And now, Yakko Warner sings about time.


 * Yakko:
 * When you're traveling from Nantucket
 * Through Chicago to St. Paul,
 * And you're standing at 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.


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


 * 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.


 * 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!


 * 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.


 * 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?


 * 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.


 * 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!
