There's Only One of You is a 1994 song originally from the Animaniacs album Yakko's World. It is a vaudeville-style song-and-dance number where Yakko Warner, Wakko Warner and Dot Warner sing about the many different types of species on Earth and how distinct the listener is.
Lyrics[]
- Yakko:
- There are fifty thousand diff'rent kinds of animals
- And there are fifty thousand more that used to be.
- There's a hundred million ants
- And a half a billion plants
- And a lot of fish down underneath the sea.
- There's gotta be a couple million spiders,
- A hundred fifty million butterflies and bees,
- And a bunch of different mammals
- Like those elephants and camels
- And approximately fifty billion trees!
- Yakko and Wakko:
- (While Dot "oohs" in the background)
- But there is only one of you; that makes you special.
- You stand out among the other things, it's true.
- The Warners:
- Yes, the universe is large
- And whoever is in charge
- Made lots of things but only one of you!
- Yakko:
- A one and a two and a three and a four
- A thousand and a million and a billion or more!
- There's a trillion drops of water in the ocean,
- And a billion trillion molecules of air.
- There are insects here en masse
- And a trillion blades of grass
- And a thousand strands on every head of hair.
- A lot of little grains of dirt make up this planet,
- A billion atoms on the head of every pin,
- A million birds that all can fly,
- A trillion stars up in the sky,
- And all the many different people there have been!
- The Warners:
- But there is only one of you; that makes you special.
- Yes there is nothing else exactly like you are!
- As you're unique and you're terrific
- And you're kinda built specific
- 'Cuz there's no one else the same
- As the person you became.
- Wakko:
- In fact you're kind of weird!
- Yakko:
- But we like you just the same!
- The Warners:
- 'Cuz you're the only one of you there are!!
- Baba-dootin baba-dootin' baba-doo-bah!!!
