A couple of weeks ago now  The kids had a big surprise.  They turned on the cartoon network  And couldn’t believe their eyes.  The animals on the cartoons  Have left the screens and escaped  They wandered the streets and they had  Adopted their natural states.    Wasn’t it grand?  Wasn’t it great?  When the cartoons  All went to assume  Their natural state    Mickey Mouse felt his vertebrae snap  With his head caught in a trap,  Eating the cheese  And full of disease  In his natural state.    The day they just all discarded  Their anthropomorphic ways.  They burst out the TV sets and  They changed the way they behaved.  Ermintrude the Cow was sorry  When back in her natural state,  Cos Damien Hurst had sliced her  And put her up in the Tate.    Their natural state,  Their natural state.  Don’t be upset  But most of them met  A grizzly fate.    Bugs Bunny spent his very last day  In laboratoire Garnier  Feeling a bit cross  Testing out lip gloss  In his natural state.  His natural state.  And Earthworm Jim  Found himself in  A fisherman’s bait.    Peter Rabbit and his friends  Got hit by Mercedes Benz  Like Mr Toad  Found dead on the road  In his natural state.  His natural state    Some of our friends  Met quite sticky ends  On restaurant plates.  Daffy Duck met the end to his days  With an aromatic glaze,  Nice crispy skin  And topped with Hoi Sin  In his natural state.    They wound up beaten,  Chopped up and eaten  In their natural state.    Each cartoon critter  Cooked in a fritter;  Each animation  Fried up like bacon  When the cartoons  Went to assume  Their natural state.
