You can use convert, which is part of imageMagick:

convert -annotate +x+y "text" animation.gif

where x and y are numbers indicating the coordinates of the text where the origin is the top left hand corner of the image.

http://www.online-image-editor.com/ Seems to do the job - I tested it roughly. Even has lolcats-text function :)

Opening animated .gif in Photoshop creates a layer for each frame. You can add text to those layers and and save back.
