Lyrics

 * He's a really splendid donkey, everybody knows,
 * But he does go on and on and on, always telling us so!
 * He is a splendid fellow, but he really is quite vain.
 * Who do we mean? You got it! Cranky!


 * Take a look who's coming down the path,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.
 * Shiny shiny fur with the bright blonde wig,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.


 * What it is for certain and we really should note,
 * It's indisputable, but let's take a vote.
 * He's the really splendid donkey with the bright brown fur.


 * Crank-y-oh
 * He can brag all day - how fast he goes,
 * How good he looks — he's such a pose.
 * But what about the time he got covered in mud,
 * Oh. what a dope. what a dud!
 * But up and down the path you'll hear the others say;
 * "Despite his vanity, he really is OK.
 * Dependable, reliable, and seldom late,
 * We all think Cranky is great!"


 * Speeding down the path like a lightning flash,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.
 * Hang on to your hat as he whooshes past,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.


 * He really knows how to stage a show,
 * You gotta stand back and watch him go.
 * He's the really splendid donkey with the bright brown fur.


 * Look who's swaning it down the path.
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.
 * He never looks up, he never looks back,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.


 * A tad conceited, and really quite vain,
 * He knows we love him just the same.


 * Take a look who's coming down the path,
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.
 * Shiny shiny fur with the bright blonde wig.
 * Make way for Cranky, hooray for Cranky.


 * He's the really splendid donkey, shiny, shiny donkey.
 * He's the really splendid donkey, yep, that's our Cranky.
 * That's Cranky!
