DOT
It's insane for us to think today
That woman used to have no say
In matters of the government
The line of thinking usually went

MAN
You do not need a ballot to finish your needlepoint

Even though men called them gorgons and their corsets crushed their organs
Suffragettes, they rocked the boat to help us win the right to vote

Suffragette roll call!

SURFFAGETTES
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Susan B. Anthony!
Sojourner Truth

We marched on Washington
We fought the fight
We're independent women who demanded equal rights!

DOT
Thank you, ladies!
Thanks to you I can vote!

LADIES
(Murmuring)

DOT
Come again?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

I've just been informed that cartoons don't have the right to vote!
This won't stand! This won't fly!
No animation without representation!

We toast 100 years of women voting in our nation
But as a disenfranchised toon, I seek emancipation
Saluting my foremothers in star-spangled petticoats
I respectfully submit it's time to give cartoons the vote

Let's all march on Washington, let's fight the fight
I might only be a drawing, but I still want equal rights

Come on! March!
March for your rights!

March! March! March! For your cartoony rights!
March for your rights!
March! March! March! For your cartoony rights!

Cartoons! You gotta march, march, march!
March for your rights
Come on, everybody!
All together now!
Robots, monsters, Tiny Toons
Sylvester, talking cars
Ducks, dogs, bunnies, Elmer Fudd
Whatever these guys are!
Roadrunner, Pinky, Taz, the Brain
Wile E. Coyote!

It's time to band together, time to give cartoons the vote
Don't be afraid to speak out!
Tell us about the issues that affect you!

SYLVESTER
I've been out of work for six months due to a mallet-related injury!

DAFFY DUCK
It'd be great to have a stunt double for all the cartoon violence

DOT
Excellent! Let us tell the big wigs how we really feel!

Attention, Washington!
Every day, we're smashed and whacked

YAKKO
Every day, we're smashed and whacked

DOT
It's time to take our anvils back!

WAKKO
It s time to take our anvils back!

DOT
A pie for you, a pie for me

BOTH WARNER BROTHERS
A pie for you, a pie for me

DOT
This seltzer sprays equality

ALL
This seltzer sprays equality

REPORTER
We're coming to you live with reports of a tiny dog puppy lady singing... at Congress

We besieged the legislatures to secure our zany stature
Squirrelly tail entwined with Tweety wing
Hear our voices as we sing!

SENATE
Aye! Aye! Aye! Aye!

REPORTER
And so, on the eve of the 100th anniversary of women securing the right to vote, cartoon characters today have successfully achieved that very same right
I think I speak for everyone when I say... God help us

I'm Dot Warner, and I approve of this message

PORKY PIG
Th-th-th-th-th-that's Democracy Folks!
