Andrew Gold - I Aint No Dang Cartoon Lyrics

Alvin:
Some time ago
I saw the need for folks to laugh and sing
The world was pretty serious
I could lighten up some things

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

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:
I know I have a squeaky voice
I've learned to live with that
And if I had to be a rodent
Thank God I'm not a rat!

I give my pint of paint a week
And pay my taxes too
And help support a charity
For homeless Looney Tunes

I hold my little song
Ain't just howlin' at the moon!
I may be made of Ink and paint
But I ain't no dang cartoon!
Chorus:
Cartoon
He ain't no dang cartoon

Alvin:
I know I'm in good company
They laughed at Einstein too
Columbus was another one
And Bishop Tutu too

So when you see the yellow "A"
And big red cap appear
Say "Howdy Mister Alvin!"
And you better be sincere!

Just because I make you laugh
Don't mean I'm just a loon!
I may be made of Ink and paint
But I ain't no dang cartoon!

No, I ain't no dang cartoon!
No, sir!
