The Electric Company scene is set outside a cave. C identifies the sweet child and H the hermit; their dialogue demonstrates contractions before turning no into an invitation to participate. The complete exchange keeps every speaker label and acting cue. Three editorial reading sections follow the source's separated blocks; the introductory setting is described here instead of being presented as a lyric.
C: Isn't it a lovely day?
H: No, it isn't!
C: Could you come outside and play?
H: No, I couldn't!
C: Did you ever take a hike?
H: No, I didn't!
C: How'd you like to ride my bike?
H: Frankly, I wouldn't!
C: Isn't, couldn't, didn't, wouldn't -- Is that all you can say?
H: Isn't, couldn't, didn't, wouldn't --- Yes, now go away!
The sweetest sound to me,
It stands for "not,"
I like it a lot,
It's spelled N apostrophe T.
C: Have you ever tried to smile?
H: No, I haven't!
C: Won't you try it for a while?
H: No, I won't!
C: Are there games to play in there?
H: No, there aren't!
C: Then why d'you like to stay in there?
H: Frankly, I don't!
C: Haven't, won't, aren't, don't -- Is that all you can say?
H: Haven't, won't, aren't, don't --- And I said "Go away!"
Grouches all agree,
We get a glow
From saying "NO!"
With N apostrophe T.
C: Do you talk to anyone?
H: (wistfully) No, I don't.
C: Come on out and have some fun.
H: (hesitantly) No, I couldn't.
C: Can't you even tell me why?
H: (apologetically) No, I can't.
C: Will it kill you just to try?
H: (wanting to) Well ...... I shouldn't.
C: Don't, couldn't, can't, shouldn't -- Now try it once my way!
Do!
H: Do!
C: Could!
H: Could!
C: Can!
H: Can!
C: Should!
H: Should! Hey, that feels okay!
C: So come along with me ---
H: I'll give it a try
And say goodbye
To N apostrophe ---
C: N apostrophe ---
Both: N apostrophe T!
