So I put on this red jersey With a cheerful yellow "A" I put a smile on people's faces And brightened up their day But just because I make you laugh That don't mean I'm just a loon! I may be made of Ink and paint But I ain't no dang cartoon! Chorus: Cartoon He ain't no dang cartoon Alvin: My face had been on plates and cups Bed sheets, a babies potties PJ's, lunch pails, shoes and gowns From nice to semi-gaudy But that don't mean I'm just a joke And don't deserve respect I may have a tail and be covered with fur But I ain't nobody's pet Chorus: Cartoon He ain't no dang cartoon
