Now here`s a funny story
I hope you understand
Listen very closely
If you possibly can
It`s a story of two popcorn kernels
 
In a red hot pan
One turned to the other
And said, Hey man

I`m too pooped to pop
And I ain`t lyin`
I`m too pooped to pop
Just layin` here fryin`
Salt and and butter`s ready
And the fire is hot
But seems like
I`m just too pooped to pop

Too pooped to pop
And I ain`t playin` possum
I`m too pooped to pop
And I do want to blossom
Don`t like the bottom
Want to get to the top
It seems like I`m
Just too pooped to pop

Iowa`s the state
That`s where I was born
I really truly came
From a fine ear of corn
My mama and my papa
Were a wonderful crop
You should have seen them
Blow up when they
Put them in the pot
