P-O-P

by Doris Muramatsu

When the lights go out, and the movie starts
And I’m sitting in my seat
There’s only one thing I request
A buttery corn treat

It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Popcorn it jumps, it hops
It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Oh my gosh, it never stops

When Montezuma ruled the land
The Aztecs popped some corn
Those crunchy kernels made them smile
And took the world by storm

It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Popcorn it jumps, it hops
It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Oh my gosh, it never stops

My mom likes extra, extra butter
My dad can eat it plain
Well, I like salty caramel
Do you need me to explain?

It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Popcorn it jumps, it hops
It’s P-O-P, it’s P-O-P
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh
Oh my gosh, it never stops!
