Does anyone know the lyrics to the Rice Crispies song?

It begins: Snap! What a happy sound Snap is the happiest sound I've found etc.

Please email me at claudeg@world.std.com if you've got the words.

Thanks!

Hi,

don't know that one... but I've got one about Sugar Puffs.

Have you heard of the battle of the Sugar Puffs?
Where most of the fighting was done
It was there that I spied Sugar Puff man
Who was shot by a rice crispie gun.......

There's a few more verses if you want them

Just to give you all an idea of how old I am, the Pepsi song:

Pepsi-Cola hits the spot,
Twelve full ounces, that's a lot,
Twice as much for a nickel, too;
Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you.

To really drive it home, I can remember when two-scoop ice cream cones were a nickel--and you could still get Brown Cow (root beer) ice cream. Drat, now I've done it. I've gone and proved I'm too old for you, Barbara. --seed

Ah, seed, dream on.
When we were kids, my brother and I wired together several jingles of the day (each sung with its own tune) to go: Good Morning! Good morning! The best to you each morning, with Brill Creme, little dab'll do ya, Brill Creme, ya look so down, down, down, the stomach through; round, round, round, the system too; with Alka-Seltzer you'll always say: You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with double-good, double-good Doublemint Gum!
Can you name the missing products? Or supply the rest of the jingles?
And how old am I?
Blessings,
Barbara

Dear Nameless, (Ah has mah suspishins 'bout chew, but h-yar 'tis, Rebbit!)

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

Wasn't there a rotten joke about a family of illegitimate Rice Crispies --- they had Snap and Crackle, but no Pop?!

Anyone remember the series of opera ads for Rice Crispies?

Palliaci (sp?) was my favorite.

Oak, Ash, and Thorn do a splendid version of this (though they have to be forcefully persuaded to do it).

And they say you can't find anything useful on the internet...
Thanks for the nostalgia.
When the portion of my brain that grew up with the song read through the first version, I realized something was wrong, but the corrections that followed were right on!
