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......
