The Day the Cartoon Voices Died (The Day the Music Died parody: Joe Alaskey (1952-2016) tribute)

A long, long time ago

we can still remember

when cartoons those days

used to make everybody smile

and we knew if we had our chance

that we could make anybody dance

and maybe they'd be cheerful

for a while

but those years 

made us shiver

with every single newspaper 

we'd deliver

terrible news 

on the doorsteps

we couldn't take 

1 more step

we can't remember

if we cried

when we read about it

'in the car ride

but something touched us

deep inside

the day

the cartoon voices died

so why, why

did this happen and why

to our Plucky Duck

and Grandpa Lou who went

bye-bye

we'll curl up with our Plucky plushy

and cry

sayin'

that's the day

a part of us died

that's the day

a part of us died

they still have them

on DVD

somebody wants the

merchandise

real badly

they never ruin them

we know

now can you imagine

there's no apocalypse

without Joe

right by your hips

as cartoon animated movies

taught all of us

heck no

well we didn't know

it happened

even though Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester and Tweety

got Jeff Bergman

Grandpa Lou Pickles

had a heart of gold

and his story legends

were never old

it seemed 

that we'd be

awestruck

delivering their merchandise

in a delivery truck

they'd go right up

on the shelves

but we didn't want

the franchise 

to die

and now we're sayin'

why, why

did this happen and why

to our Plucky Duck

and Grandpa Lou

who went

bye-bye

we'll curl up with our Plucky plushy

and cry

sayin'

that's the day

a part of us died

that's the day

a part of us died

well you might not know

who's now gone

so we'll teach you with

our crazy song

some of it was 

a super surprise

to all of us

oh dear friend Joe

oh and some news letters reported

that he passed away

while we sing of his downfall

the day 

the cartoon voices died

and we were sayin'

why, why

did this happen and why

to our Plucky Duck

and Grandpa Lou

who went

bye-bye

we'll curl up with our Plucky plushy

and cry

sayin'

that's the day

a part of us died

that's the day

a part of us died......
