Roosevelt Franklin…
Snap, what a happy sound
Snap is the happiest sound I’ve found
You may clap, rap, tap, slap,
But Snap makes the world go round!
I say it’s Crackle, the crispy sound
You gotta have crackle or your clock’s not wound
Geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle,
But Crackle makes the world go round!
I insist that Pop’s the sound
The best is missed unless Pop’s around
You can’t stop hoppin’ when the cereal’s poppin’
Pop makes the world go round

(REFRAIN START)
I don’t wanna sing… I don’t wanna dance…
I don’t wanna do anything at all that other people think it’s fun to do
I don’t wanna smile… I don’t wanna laugh…
I don’t wanna show anything at all that other people think it’s fun to show
They go their way, I’ll go mine
Hangin’ around all by myself, alone, with me is fine
I don’t wanna run… I don’t wanna play…
I don’t wanna be with anyone today
(REFRAIN END)
(SPOKEN) That is true, too. I don’t wanna be with anyone! Nahhh, and laughin’ and smilin’? Nnn-nnn, that’s not for a grouch to do. Nnn-nnn.
(REFRAIN)
I don’t wanna be with anyone, I won’t mess around with anyone,
I don’t wanna be with anyone today!
