English[edit]

Some people call me negative
They don't like my frown
They all try to cheer me up
But I'm down with being down!

I know what you're thinking
He's a genius... 'Cause I am!

'Cause I'm Cranky
I got my finger on the beat
Yeah, I'm Cranky
The oldest, wisest ape you'll ever meet!

Dutch (sub)[edit]

Dutch lyrics Translation

Sommige mensen doen negatief
Die houden niet van min stiji
Ze proberen me op te vrolijken
Maar ik wii niet meer somber zijn

Ik weet wel wat je denkt:
"Hij is een genie" en dat ben ik ook

Want ik ben Cranky
En heb m'n vinger op de toets
Ik ben Cranky
De oudste, rare aap die je ooit zult zien

Some people are negative
They don't like my style
They try to cheer me up
But I don't want to be sad anymore

I know what you're thinking:
"He's a genius" and so am I

'Cause I'm Cranky
And I have my finger on the key
I'm Cranky
The oldest, weirdest monkey you'll ever see

French[edit]

French lyrics Translation

Y en a qui me trouvent trop mou
Qui croient que je fais la tête
Mais ils ont rien compris du tout
Car j'ai envie de faire la fête

Oui, croyez-moi
C'est un génie et c'est vrai !

Car je suis Cranky
Oui, c'est moi, le roi du rythme
Oui, je suis Cranky
Je suis le plus malin de tous les singes !

Some people think I'm too sluggish
They think I'm sulking
But they don't get it at all
Because I want to party

Yes, believe me
He's a genius and it's true!

Because I'm Cranky
Yes, it's me, the king of rhythm
Yes, I'm Cranky
I'm the cleverest of all apes!

Italian[edit]

Italian lyrics Translation

Alcuni dicono che sono negativo
Perché ho sempre il broncio
Cercano tutti di tirarmi su il morale
Ma mi piace essere così

So cosa state pensando
Sono un genio... Ma certo che lo sono!

Perché sono Cranky
Suono un po' di musica
Sono Cranky
La scimmia più anziana e saggia che esista!

Some say I'm negative
Because I'm always frowning
They all try to cheer me up
But I like being like this

I know what you're thinking
I'm a genius... Of course I am!

Because I'm Cranky
I play some music
I'm Cranky
The oldest and wisest monkey in existence!

No les gusta ni mirar
Creen que estoy deprimido
Y me tratan de animar

Si, soy Cranky
¡El mico más sabio, el mejor!

They don't even like to look at me
They think I'm depressed
And they try to cheer me up

Ha ha! And I've got the rhythm inside me
Yes, I'm Cranky
The wisest monkey, the best!
