Скорее к экранам! Сегодня ты по плану
Увидишь наш престранный и безумный сериал!
Ура! Мы в России! Смешные и чудные!
Для смехотерапии то, что доктор прописал!

Был создан мультяшный дом цветным карандашом,
И кто-то написал при том все то, что мы поём.
Сюжет посмешнее, еще нужна идея!
Пусть он пока потеет, ну а мы начнем!

Мультяшки искусны, не будет с нами грустно,
Нашли нас не в капусте, нас любит стар и млад!
Не хнычем, не ноем, другому яму роем,
Занятных героев собрал наш зоосад.

Студент Мульт-академии усвоил на зубок:
Под наковальню,если что, затылком встанет в лоб.
Мы крошки-мультяшки, мы звезды без натяжки,
Включайте телевизор и скорее к нам!
Зовите пап и мам! *
Скорее по местам! *

* These lines are interchanged.

Romanized version:

Skoree k ekranam! Segodnya ty po planu
Uvidish' nash prestrannyi i bezumnyi serial!
Ura! My v Rossii! Smeshnye i chudnye!
Dlya smehoterapii to, chto doktor propisal!

Byl sozdan mul'tyashnyi dom tsvetnym karandashom,
I kto-to napisal pri tom vse to, chto my poem.
Syuzhet posmeshnee, eshche nuzhna ideya!
Pust' on poka poteet, nu a my nachnem!

Mul'tyashki iskusny, ne budet s nami grustno,
Nashli nas ne v kapuste, nas lyubit star i mlad!
Ne khnychem, ne noem, drugomu yamu roem,
Zanyatnykh geroev sobral nash zoosad.

Student Mul't-akademii usvoil na zubok:
Pod nakoval'nyu, esli chto, zatylkom vstanet' v lob.
My kroshki-mul'tyashki, my zvezdy bez natyazhki,
Vklyuchaite televizor i skoree k nam!
Zovite pap i mam!
Skoree po mestam!

Come quickly to the screen! Today you, according to plan,
Are going to see our very strange and crazy series!
Hooray! We're in Russia! Ridiculous and wonderful! *
For the sake of laugh-therapy that the doctor prescribed!

The cartoon character home was built in a pencil-growing field, **
And someone finished writing a complete volume, which we're singing.
The subject must be funnier; ideas are still needed!
Let him continue toiling; we'll begin right now!

The cartoon bunnies are skillful; with us you won't be bored,
We weren't found in cabbage; old and young love us! ***
We don't complain; we don't whine; we're digging holes under each other, ****
Our zoo contains interesting characters.

Students of the Cartoon Academy have mastered like clockwork:
Anyone under an anvil will have their neck meet their forehead.
We're the Tiny Toons; we're stars, without stretching the point,
Turn on the television and come quickly with us!
Let's invite dad and mom!
(alternate end line) Quickly take your seats!

* This phrase has specific connotations and double-meanings that don't translate concisely in English.

** The analogy they've come up with for "Acme Acres" is a pun based on the word for a flowering field combined with the term for a coloring pencil, which have similarities in Russian.

*** The usage of "cabbage" has a double meaning here. An old Russian folk tale states that babies come from a cabbage patch. However, "cabbage" also can refer to money, which Max is holding.

**** This is a Russian expression for getting someone into trouble.
