Author's note:  I read an article in Newsweek that talked about the 
*other* animation companies trying to get in on Disney's HUGE empire 
...so far, few have been successful.  But--only time will tell.  To 
explain: "Cats" is Cats Don't Dance; "Russian girl" is Fox's Anastasia; 
"Camelot" is Spielburg's Quest for Camelot.

"Make Some Business"

SCENE:  The heads of three animation companies--Spielburg's, Fox's, and 
Dreamworks--are gathering together to talk about their takeover of the 
animation industry.  

All:  Disney's made some bucks
      With "Herc" it seemed complete
      But now it is our turn

Spielburg co.:  Now we've got "Camelot"
		Sure, "Cats" was a flop
		But that won't repeat

All:  Disney is going down
      Their monopoly'll be forgot.

      We will get some cash
      We can makes some business
      Though in the past
      Disney's had it all
      
Fox co:  Our plan will unfurl 
	 With a Russian girl

Dreamworks:  And our great "Prince of Egypt" will make 
	     'Em topple and fall.

All:  Yes, we'll get some cash 
      We can make some business
      It'll go real fast
      Soon we'll have it all
      And we'll advertise 
      And we'll merchandise
      And the upstart companies'll
      Be Disney's downfall!  

And the reprise . . . 

All:  We've got swords and gods 
      We can make some business--
      There's Ryans and Fiennes--
      Royalties and all
      Awards--Oscar nods!
      We can make some business 
      When we little animation companies
      Make big Disney fall.
