Jack shook his head in disbelief, and then shook it towards the moon. "That's it. I've had it! I've had it with your silence, and I've had it with everybody and their mother giving me the cold shoulder!" He ran a hand through his hair, scoffing again. "I mean, what's it gonna take?!"
Frost began to count off from his free left hand. "I've started snowball fights, not that they ever let me in on them considering I'm invisible! I've even frosted some windows over to write them messages, and lemme tell ya, those were not the reactions I was hopin' for!"
"I mean, what do I gotta do, huh?!" he groaned, throwing his arms up into the air. "Do I actually have to spell it out for them, o-or sing it out loud to get them to hear me?!"
He was grimacing when he said this. But as the words registered in his head, his expression became pensive as he considered his remark.
In truth... he hadn't tried that.
Jack rubbed his chin in thought as he pondered this new development, his eyes darting left and right like clockwork. Was he really that desperate? Would he really stoop so low? Debase himself in such a way?
...It turned out that yes. Jack was that desperate.
"...Oh, what the heck."
(VERSE 1)
I can’t help it… if no one can look my way.
It’s a curse, I tell ya!
Can’t stop it no matter what I do, or say!
Peep the name, son! It’s Jack Frost!
I’m THE rebel without a cause!
I’m free-spirited! My own kind of boss!
SO HOW COME EVERYONE WANTS ME TO GET LOST?!
“Ahem! Lemme explain…”
I’d give the cloak off my own bare back,
If you really needed that.
I’ll be the first one to volunteer myself!
If your igloo were to crumble, or if you were in trouble.
(PRE-CHORUS)
I’d cancel all your school days,
Be that friend that suggests fun stuff,
Take blame for all the messes!
And I’ll be there for you when things get rough!
I’d give, and give, and give, and give!
You’d think it’d be more than enough…
And all I really want is to get in on the fun.
(CHORUS)
But this is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
This is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
For wanting to be seen by them! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
Looks like I’ll get ignored again. (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
Since this is the thanks I get!
(INTERLUDE 1)
(Da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da. Da-da, da)
(VERSE 2)
It’s so stupid!
But that’s the least I could say.
There are more words that are well-suited.
Like "cruel," and "wrong," and "unfair," and "lame!”
The gifts you gave me? I’m showing them off!
And you still won’t talk? You’re blowing me off?!
Um, do you think I won’t come up there?
‘Cause I won’t hesitate to drag your butt down here!
(PRE-CHORUS)
UGH!
I made a hundred snow days last year!
C’mon! That’s a high percent!
And still you won’t let me be seen?
The disrespect I just underwent!
You get my hopes up, and tear them down.
But, really, what do I expect?
It’s been like this every year ever since we met…
(CHORUS)
So this is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
This is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
For expecting you to really listen! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
Did I just get run over by Sven?! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
RRRRGH, THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?!
(INTERLUDE 2)
(Da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da, da, da, da)
(Da-da-da-da-da. Da. Da)
(BRIDGE)
I didn’t wanna do this.
I SWORE I’d never sing this!
But I’m really runnin’ outta options here,
‘Cause I refuse to be unseen for another year!
A ballad, a jingle, a melody, a glee?!
ANYTHING for them to finally see me!
To this low I’d really rather not stoop to,
But a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do!...
*Cough* “Where was I? Oh yeah, right…”
(PRE-CHORUS)
Been at this for a century now,
So don’t think I’ll be going away!
C’mon, now. Say something, man!
Gonna leave me hangin’ here without a say?
Well, whenever you wanna chat-
Yeah, that’ll be the day.
Honestly? Something tells me I’m gonna be there, either way…
(CHORUS)
‘Cause this is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
This is the thanks I get! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
My mental energy’s all spent! (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
For thinking today’d be different… (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da)
*Sigh.* This is the thanks I get.
(END)
“So thanks! Thanks for nothing…”

Been mulling over this ever since Disney released the song weeks ago. Figured I'd try my hand at a Jack Frost version, and I definitely love how it turned out. Might even add it to my fic, hence why I added some passages of it before the song.
Also added to the chorus, putting in extra lines. This was inspired by the Booth To Screen video of This Is The Thanks I Get?! where it ends with Chris Pine singing the whole first chorus before ending with how he harmonizes in the third line of the 2nd and last choruses. So in this version there are musical interludes between verses. Look it up on YouTube, and you guys will see what I mean.
Keep in mind, Jack's mentality here is "This Is The Thanks I Get for thinking today's gonna be any different than yesterday… or the last 100 years.” This is set during his 300 years of isolation, so again, he's trying all sorts of things to get seen. The spectrum is far more different than the villainous version depicted by King Magnifico, especially the middle where Jack loses his cool. Though not shown in these lyrics, in the story setting, he’s gonna try to calm himself down, which is mostly what he’s struggling with during the Bridge. Whereas Magnifico doesn’t, and gets himself continuously worked up before doing something he can’t take back.
Another example of the difference between the two is at the end when, instead of screaming in rage like the king, Jack just reins it in, and just flatly sings the last verse.
Long story short: both characters allow themselves to go insane here. Difference here is Jack remembered to make sure he came back. Magnifico didn’t.
Either way, the song's extremely catchy, and I can find myself singing to either version. Hope you guys enjoyed reading or singing it in your head.
PS: for those wondering, the Sven Jack mentioned in the song is Sven the Reindeer from Frozen. 😉
Elsa: *reading a book* For some reason, I said yes to your proposal just because I thought you're a grown man already. I should've thought otherwise.
Jack: You know *hoists himself up on a branch* You sometimes need to walk on the wild side.
Elsa: That's totally no-
Jack: Not a royal thing, I get it. *balances himself to sit on a thicker part of the branch*
Elsa: Even that wasn't. Why am I even talking to you anyways...
Jack: *grunts, hangs himself upside down from the tree* Ya just hate it when I finish all your sentences *smirks at Elsa despite his difficult position*
Elsa: All that effort to woo me? *stops herself from smiling* Get back down here, your blood will rise up your head!
Jack: Oh, come on I like the view from here *chuckles* You should try it!
Elsa: *shakes her head* At least I already have a glimpse of what your forehead looks like under all that mess *laughs*
Jack: It's called my hair, thanks very much. *laughs along*
Elsa: Come on! You promised me that you'll give this a read! *frowns at Jack*
Jack: Uh oh... there's that look! I'm comin down! Just a s-
"Why can't I resist your undescribable humor every time, huh? Ohh my, don't tempt me to do something then..." Jack murmured. "You might gonna regret it once I unleash mine to you, as well."
