Story behind the song
In the continuing saga of the Seventeen Cent Croonie, we see an attempt to please everyone with a "newly improved Croonie" that has none of the charm or magic of the original coin. Empty, hollow, the strip-mall of currency. Hooray for the Croonie, Hooray!!!!!
Lyrics
1
Hey all you talented kids;
Hurry there’s no time to lose.
Those marvelous minds at the National Mint
Just might be looking for you.
Big prizes you’d love to win,
Find yourself fortune and fame.
Make a new Croonie for Georgius;
Help bring us together again.
Hooray for the Croonie, Hooray!
CHORUS:
They’re new, improved,
Dropped from the sky, bye, by
Government planes,
Winning design.
2
Tell all your friends there’s a contest;
It’s free, there’s nothing to buy.
Skorchahz, Deap-diggers, Klearspellers,
Sincerivers, you can apply.
Owlings can fly with the Skeptics,
Cheaper Metallics can shine,
K-Kilroy, Atomics and Clippers,
Could all make a coin that is fine.
Hooray for the Croonie, Hooray!
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
This Croonie doesn’t burn you;
This Croonie’s got no sense;
This Croonie knows from nothing;
But still worth seventeen cents.

Far and away the most favorite pick,
Designed by a middle school girl.
Lavender Conzientius McGill
Inspires a beautiful world.
Her Croonie is covered with symbols
For ev’ry opinion and brand.
Newly improved and artisanal,
Perfectly fits in your hand.
Hooray for the Croonie, Hooray!
CHORUS
