THE RICE KRISPIES™ SONG
(A.K.A. The "Snap, Crackle, Pop!" Song)

circa 1956 C.E.

(Sung by three distinct voices, first in parts, then in syncopation.)

1st voice (SNAP):

SNAP! [beat, beat] What a happy sound!
SNAP is the happiest sound I've found:
You can rap, tap, clap, slap, but SNAP, [beat, beat],
Makes the world go 'round!

Refrain, "SNAP,CRACKLE, POP, RICE KRISPIES™!" as follows:

1st voice: SNAP!
2nd voice: (beat) CRACKLE!
3rd voice: (beat, half-beat, half-beat) POP!
Unison: RICE KRISPIES™!

2nd voice (CRACKLE):

I say its CRACKLE, the crispy sound.
Ya gotta have "CRACKLE" or the clock's not wound.
Belts buckle, beets pickle, hens cackle, feathers tickle,
But, (quarter-beat), CRACKLE makes the wo-orld go 'round.

Refrain

3rd voice (POP):

I insist that, (quarter-beat), "POP's the sound!"
Th' best is missed unless, (quarter-beat), POP's around.
Ya can't stop hoppin' when the cereal's poppin'!
(Beat, beat), POP makes the world go 'round!

Refrain

Thet orta holcha fer a spell.

'd evenin' awl,

Shula
