When I was young I used to wait
On master and hand him his plate
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue-tail fly
Chorus
Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care
Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care
Jimmy pop popcorn, and I don't care
My master's gone away

Conagra buys commercial time on Television,
Conagra sells popcorn to the masses,
Conagra makes its butter flavored popcorn through a hodge-podge of chemicals
That does not come from a cow.
Ethanol comes from corn and other vegetation.
The masses do consume a lot of corn,
We have corn in our sodas, ketchup, cereals, and snacks to name of few sources,
We will, in the future, be fueling our vehicles with corn,
Conagra will be in the drivers’ seat, they could own many a fuel station.
Corn, the mainstay of Mesoamerican indigenous people, will rise again.
Conagra will be a cornucopia of American life.
Orville Redenbacher could’ve not thought that corn would be that big.
