One, wash your hands before you eat
Two, brush your teeth after every meal
Three, see your doctor and your dentist
We all need checkups no matter how good we feel.
Oh how lovely life will be if we keep the
Ten commandments of health.
Four, cover your nose whenever sneezing
Five, cover your mouth when you're coughing too.
Six, dress warmly in cold weather
And you won't have much coughing or sneezing to do.
Oh how lovely life will be if we keep the
Ten commandments of health.
Health, oh sweet health,
It's worth more than fame or wealth to me.
One thing I say a lot:
'Take care of the life you got it's such a precious commodity.'
Seven, exercise to keep in shape
Eight, bathe or shower when each day is through
Nine, eat lots of fruits and vegetables
Ten, give your body all the sleep that it's due.
Oh how grand we're gonna feel
'Cause we'll keep the
Ten commandments of health.
The ten commandments of health!
Male singing voice: She can bounce, she can roll, she can spin like a wheel
She's got a rubber soul and her name is Cecile
Cecile no one can match ya
Cecile you're off the wall
Cecile I'm gonna catch ya
And when I do I'm gonna have a ball, wooo!
Voiceover: And now, ladies and gentlemen, Cecile!
Cecile: I'm gonna bring my love to you

I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to YOU!
Just hop a bus baby I don't care
Go any place or anywhere
I'll track you down by land or air or sea
I'll swim across the ocean wide
Through ice and snow I'll slip and slide
There's no escape you just can't hide from me
I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to you
I'm gonna get to you
In a pretty little house made of celery
There lives a little kitty-cat family
One, two, three!
They can make make their tails look just like spaghetti
And they dine in bed on Apple Brown Betty
One, two, three!
But these pretty kitties, they're great circulators!
They know a pretty fish, and they're friends with alligators
One, two, three!
And when the sun decides to go out of sight
The pretty little kitties stand and wave good night!
(Sun, which has a face, sets, then rises and waves. Each kitty waves as Furl and Ghetty counts:)
One, two, three!
(Sun sets again.)
I just adore four
The number for me
You can't deplore four
It's less than five, more than three
You can have four doors
Or four dinosaurs
Four janitors
Or even four grocery stores
I just adore four
The number sublime
I love to draw four
It's just an angle and a line
I can't get sore for it's plain you see
I just adore four
The number for me
Ah, yes, I used to fret a lot and fidget
Until I met that dazzling digit
And now you see a brand new me for
I found a number I can be for
And count 1, 2, 3, for (or 4)
(Three male muppets in tuxedos join him)
Men: I just adore four
The number for me
You can't deplore four
It's less than five, more than three
Big Bird: You can have four floors
Or four army corps
Men: Four dresser drawers
Big Bird: Or even four crashing bores
I just adore four
The number sublime
I love to draw four
It's just an angle and a line
I can't get sore for it's plain you see
I just adore four
The number ...
Men: 1, 2, 3 ...

What do I do when I'm out in the yard
And can't find where I buried my bone
How do I feel when my dog's life is hard
I feel sad but I'm not all alone
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
Boy I get mad when I get in a fight
With an itchy old flea and I lose
And what do I do when I'm still not alright
Even after I chew on some shoes
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
(When you're sad we're behind ya)
Ooooh, where can that bone be?
(When you're mad we'll confide ya)
I can't believe I lost to a flea!
What do you do when you're sad or afraid
Or you're lonely or angry or down
Can't fetch a stick 'cause your owner's away
And there ain't no dog yummies around
Oh I get by with a little yelp from my friends
Oh I get by with a little woof from my friends
Yes I get by with a bow-wow from my friends
Down by the old (not the new but the old)
Mill stream (not the river but the stream),
Where I first (not the last but the first)
Met you. (Not me but you.)
With your eyes (not your ears, but your eyes)
Of blue (not green, but blue).
Dressed in ging- (not silk but ging-) -ham too. (Not one but two.)
And it was there (not here, but there),
I knew (not old, but new)
That you loved (not hate, but loved)
Me too. (Not one but two.)
You were sixteen (not seventeen, but sixteen)
My village queen! (Not the king, but the queen).
Down by the old (not the new, but the old),
I see some paint, some clay, some chalk, I wonder what I'll do
I can make an elephant, a horse, a dog, a shoe
I might imagine something large or tiny as can be
Or some find strange and starry shapes that's in the sky or sea
I might do something very wide, or something very tall
I might draw what's in front of me or what's not there at all
If I decide to finish it I'll hang it up to see
(spoken)
Kevin: Hi, I'm Kevin.
Pheobe: And I'm Phoebe.

Don't come running to me
Phoebe and Kevin: Once you've tried a ruler
I'm sure you'll agree
Kevin: How fun and useful measuring can be
Phoebe and Kevin: Inches, yards and feet
They really can't be beat
Count: For measuring they bring home all the prizes
Kevin: You will find them on your ruler
Count: And there's really nothing cooler
All: When you want to figure out what something's size is
Phoebe and Kevin: How long is that noodle?
8 inches
How tall is that drink?
5 inches
Phoebe: How big is your poodle?
2 feet, 5 inches
Kevin: How deep is your sink?
1 foot

I'm sure you'll agree
Phoebe: How truly useful measuring
Phoebe and Kevin: How truly useful measuring
FBI Guy In Green Suit and Sunglasses: V
This is a vase
That I'll put in this vat
Away from the villain in the panama hat
(he walks off stage, the villain arrives right afterwards)
Villain In The Panama Hat: I am the villain in the panama hat
And I'm after that vase
That's here in this vat
(evil laugh as he pulls the vase out of the vat)
I'll fill it with vinegar
And throw in some varnish
And top that all off with some violets for garnish
(evil laugh)
And now I will slip it
Here under my vest
(opens his vest to insert the vase and the FBI Guy pops out of his jacket)
FBI Guy: Oh, no you don't, villain!
You're under arrest!
(whips out handcuffs, the villain frowns and the FBI Guy smiles)
Once there lived a little monster
In a kingdom far away.
And a very strange thing happened
As he brushed his teeth one day.
As he squeezed his tube of toothpaste,
Deepest thunder shook the skies.
And suddenly a genie stood
Before his very eyes.
'I'm the genie of the toothpaste,'
Said the genie with a laugh.
'I've been trapped inside that toothpaste tube
For 3 weeks and a half.
You squeezed the tube and set me free
So here is what I'll do -
I'll let you have 3 wishes
And I'll make them all come true.'
'Oh boy!' exclaimed the monster,
'Wow! 3 wishes just for me!
Now let me think and then decide
What my first wish will be.'
Now my favorite thing is cookies,
Thought the monster with a grin.
But first I'll wish for something nice
To keep my cookies in.
I would like a million cookies,
But before I use that wish ...
'Hey, Genie,' said the monster,
'Will you please bring me a dish?'
'Will I ever!' said the genie,
'For your wish is my command.'
And instantly a dish appeared
Right in the monster's hand.
'Hey, I did it!' cried the genie.
'Wow! I haven't lost my touch!'
'It's a nice dish,' said the monster,
'But it won't hold very much.'
The monster thought of all the cookies
That he'd soon get with his wish.
And he knew a million cookies
Couldn't fit on one small dish.
He would need something much bigger.
So the monster said, 'Hey, Genie!
I would like a great big box ...
This plate is much too teeny!'
'You want a box? You've got it,'
Said the genie with a smirk.
And instantly a box appeared.
The monster cried, 'Nice work!'
But although the box was pretty big
And could hold lots of stuff -
Could it hold a million cookies ...?
It just wasn't big enough.
So the monster called the genie
And said, 'Boy, am I in luck!
Since you'll give me what I wish for ...
How about a great big truck?'
And right away a truck appeared
Before the monster's eyes.
'Fantastic!' cried the monster.
'It is just the perfect size!'
'It will hold a million cookies,
And I'll never have to worry.
And that is what I wish for!
Give me cookies now! Please hurry!'
'I am sorry,' said the genie,
'For though cookies are delicious,
I cannot give them to you
'Cause you've used up your 3 wishes.' (love that rhyme!)
'Oh, no!' exclaimed the monster.
'is it true? I just can't tell.
For although I'm good at eating things,
I do not count so well.'
'Let us count these things together,'
Said the genie, 'and you'll see -
The dish is 1, the box is 2,
And then the truck makes 3.'
'3 things! You're right,' the monster said,
'Now what am I to do?
I've used up my 3 wishes
And I'm very hungry, too!'
'Gee, that's too bad,' the genie said,
'But now my job's complete.'
'I'm so hungry,' said the monster,
'Oh, I need something to eat!'
'I'm sad your wish for cookies
Can't come true,' the genie said.
'That's okay,' replied the monster ...
' ... I'll just eat the truck instead!'
And as the monster ate the truck,
The genie disappeared,
Saying, 'I have seen a lot of things -
But boy ... is that guy weird!'
Female Singers:
Teeny Little Super Guy
Pops right up before your eye
He's no bigger than your thumb
Teeny Little Super Guy:
Snap your fingers, here I come
Now stop me if you've heard this one...
Female Singers:
Don't look in the sky
Don't look in the sea
He's inside of you and me
Teeny Little Super Guy:
Did I ever tell you about the time?...
Female Singers: You can't tell a hero by his size
All: I'm just a Teeny Little Super Guy
Oh everything comes in its own special size
I guess it can be measured by where you put your eyes
It looks big when you're close
And it looks smaller back a bit
That's about the size of it.
Oh the big becomes the little
When you see it back a bit
The huge becomes the dinky
Which is just the opposite
Of the larger that gets smaller
It never seems to fit
That's about the size of it.
That's about the size
It's where you put your eyes
That's about the size of it.
Boy (speaking): Mom, where does all the water go?
Mom (singing):
The water in the bath tub dear
It burbles down the drain
It takes a very long, long trip
And it ends up back as rain
I see that you remember these (?)
Now listen this is true
The water travels through a pipe
Not seen by me or you
It travels down the house and street
To rivers far away
To join the mighty ocean
Where it doesn't always stay
The clouds you see up in the sky
Take water from the sea
They often send it down again
As rain on you and me

A, airplane: Typewriter sees some airplanes flying by and then soars up into the sky like a plane!
B, ball: Typewriter runs into a giant ball and gets bounced offscreen.
C, cat: Typewriter hears a cat offscreen. When cat enters, it's a giant one and scary to typewriter. So he types and says 'little cat!' Cat shrinks smaller than typewriter, who barks at cat. Cat runs off and typewriter giggles.
D, daisy: Typewriter sees (and hears!) daisies growing out of ground. Gigantic daisy grows under him, carrying him up, up, and offscreen!
E, ear: Typewriter is with a giant ear. After typing, 'E, ear,' he says, 'ear' louder. So the ear leaves, a giant mouth comes onscreen and says, 'ear,' scaring typewriter away.
F, fly: Typewriter sees a bird flying, then flaps his arms and flies himself.
G, glue: Typewriter gets stuck in a puddle of glue. After a few tries, he gets himself unstuck, taking the glue with him and crashing offscreen.
H, hand: Whenever typewriter rolls up a new piece of paper, a giant hand rips it off. Typewriter finally manages to roll yet another sheet and type, 'h, hand.' He then shakes the hand's finger.
I, ink: This one I haven't seen for ages! Nothing appears when typewriter types. He's out of ink, so he pours in some and types, 'i, ink.' Then ... not sure ... I think the ink floods the screen.
J, jump: Typewriter sees a frog jumping, then jumps after it like a frog.
K, key: Another one I haven't seen in ages. Typewriter tries to open a door and finds it locked. He unlocks it with a key. When opened, door reveals two fierce eyes in the dark and maybe some roaring and growling. Typewriter leaves quick, but I hope he locked the door first!
L, lion: Typewriter hears a lion roaring offscreen and is really scared but types, 'l, lion.' Lion roars some more and enters. It's tiny and typewriter giggles, but it roars again and scares typewriter away.
M, magic: Typewriter makes (I think) a rabbit appear and vanish. He does the same trick with a scorpion-like creature. Then he makes himself disappear, but we can still hear him giggling!
N, nose: Typewriter is with a gigantic nose and mouth looking very like one from the ear skit. Nose starts to sneeze twice, but typewriter puts a finger below it and stops the sneeze. Then nose sneezes a sneeze that blows typewriter away.
O, owl: Not sure here ... I think the typewriter must be having some trouble, because I remember a bunch of crumpled paper. An owl lands on him.
P, pencil: Nothing appears when typewriter types. So he writes, 'p, pencil' with a pencil. I think he sharpens it with some part of him. Then he sticks it in his wheel, which goes flat.
Q, quiet: Unheard laughers won't shut up until typewriter repeatedly yells, 'QUIET!'
R, rope: Jump-rope drops from sky. Typewriter jumps with it until he jumps up off the screen!
S, spring: Yet again, nothing appears when typewriter types. A spring pops out of him and keeps springing away from him. Typewriter chases it, jumping like a spring.
T, train: An electric train runs around typewriter, who makes train-whistle sounds.
U, umbrella: It starts to rain, so the typewriter opens an umbrella over himself. When the rain stops, he closes umbrella and gets stuck in it! After a brief struggle, he gets his wheels out and rolls away, singing his customary, 'Nooney, nooney, nooney, noo...'
V, vacuum: The typewriter keeps rolling paper up, but a vacuum cleaner keeps sucking up the paper. Typewriter finally types, 'v, vacuum.' Then the vacuum sucks up the whole typewriter.
W, wall: Typewriter rushes in, crashing into an invisible wall. He smashes his way through.
X, x-ray: Something seems to be wrong with one of the typewriter's wheels. He examines it with an x-ray, appears to find problem, and oils wheel. It now rolls fine.
Y, yo-yo: Typewriter is playing with a yo-yo, the end of which gets stuck offscreen. Typewriter tries to get it free, but ends up pulling himself offscreen.
Z, zoo: Typewriter comes to a cage and is scared by the roaring of a lion. He hears a bird sound and sees bird come up to bars of cage. Bird honks like a car and scares him away.
Gone fishin'
There's a sign upon your door
Gone fishin'
I ain't workin' anymore
There's a hoe out in the sun
Where you left a row half done
I said 'Hoe-in' ain't no fun'
You ain't got no ambition
Gone fishin' - by a shady, wady pool
Gone fishin' - man, you really play it cool
We don't wish to be annoyed, Mister John,
And Mister Floyd, we're fishin'
Instead of just a-wishin'
We're fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
Oh, yeah!
I believe in little things
That you can hardly see
Like honeycomb and spider webs
And starfish in the sea
I believe in little things
Like icy drops of rain
That melt into the morning mist
When winds are warm again
I believe in little things
Like colors in the sky
And noticing the waves roll in
And how the flowers die
Knowing they'll be back again
Whenever it's July
I believe in little things
Like you and me
And just how big
Little things can be
I'm an aardvark, and I'm proud!
I'm an aardvark, and I'm happy!
I'm an aardvark,
If I try to be specific
And a little scientific,
I am feeling quite terrific!
I'm an aardvark, fierce and free!
I'm an aardvark, standing bravely!
I'm an aardvark,
And I'm tough and smart and strong
And always right,
And that's the way I'll always be ...
Until I meet another aardvark
Who's bigger than me!
Oh, I've got five people in my family
And there's not one of them I'd swap.
There is a sister, and two brothers,
And a mother, and a pop (that's me).
Oh, five is such a pretty number!
I'm awfully glad that I've five people in my family
One, two, three, four, five; one, two, three, four five
Oh I've got five!
Oh, I've got five fingers on my left hand.
I've got five fingers on my right.
Five fingers help me wave good morning,
Help me brush my teeth at night.
Oh, five is such a pretty number!
I'm awfully glad that I've five fingers on my left hand:
One two, three, four, five; one, two, three, four, five.
Oh, I've got five!!!
I have a chair
Gets me from here to there
Takes me most anywhere
That any two feet could take me
I have a chair
Helps me to get around
Gets me to where I'm bound
Just as fast as shoes could make me
Oh, faster than shoes
And my chair goes forward
Or it can go back
I can make it spin
Or race down a track
(whistling)
We can fly a kite
While I hold the string
'Cause me and my chair can do
Most anything
We're quite a pair
We glide on air
We're quite a pair
Me and my chair
Me and my chair
I am the mountain
I am the plain
I am wind
I am rain
I am the planting
And I am the grain
Who am I?
I am the river
I am the sea
I am you
You are me
I am the _ (grass? flower?)
And I am the tree
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am the sun, the moon, the stars,
The planets, Jupiter and Mars
I am the north, south, east and west
Do you know who I am?
Have you guessed?
I am the winter
I am the spring
A summer flower opening
Autumn leaves
A bird on the wing
Who am I?
Who am I?
I am the children
Every boy and girl
Do you know who I am?
Can you tell?
I am the WORLD!
Now we're gonna do a dance
And it's bound to be a new sensation
Before very long
It will rage across the nation
Hold on to your seat
I'm warning you in advance
'Cause it's the zany, zesty, zippy, zingy, Zig Zag Dance
It goes:
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
Zig Zag
It goes:
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
Zig Zag
You turn and turn and you turn again
You turn and turn and you turn again
It goes:
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
Zig Zag
It goes:
Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
Zig Zag
And that's the way
That you can also learn to do
The zany, zesty, zippy, zingy, Zig Zag Dance
Zany, Zesty, Zippy, Zingy, Zig Zag Dance

Willie Wimple went a’ boating
Making dirty water here
Pouring stuff there, 'till the gunk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky mess it would be?
No place for fish to swim
No lakes for sailing in
No rivers, no streams, no submarines,
No swimming ever again!
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an icky, messy, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!
Willie Wimple went a’ walking
And he chopped a tree here(?)
He threw his trash there, till the junk was everywhere
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What a messy place it would be?
No room for a marching band
No place for people to stand
No yards to play in, ---- to stay in,
Just trash across our land
Now if every kid did it, can’t you see
What an ugly, awful, no-fun world it would be?
Yuck!
Well I've seen a lot of letters and it seems to me
There's something real special 'bout the letter 'Z'
But boy we're sick of singing 'bout zippers and zoos
There ain't enough 'Z' words
Got the ZZ Blues
You can stick with 'zebra' 'cause it's tried and true
Maybe mention 'zither' just for something new
But once you've shown them 'zebra', 'zither', 'zippers' and 'zoos'
You're almost out of 'Z' words
Got the ZZ Blues
Time to write a song about Zanzibar
C'mon and sing along about Zanibar
Guess I could be wrong about Zanzibar
Going zingy with the ZZ Blues
We're zooming back to zipper 'cause it's still the best
Zipping back to zebra and we need a rest
Gettin' tired of thinking
Yeah we've paid our dues
There ain't enough Z words
Got the ZZ Blues
(band starts falling asleep while still rocking!)
Only band I ever worked with to fall asleep and keep playing the blues!
Guess I might as well join 'em
and cop some Zs myself!
(ends with band asleep but the music still going!)
Windy day!
Look how the breeze turns pirouettes!
(???)
My, oh my, it's a windy, windy day!
Windy day!
(???)
Making the treetops sway...
My, oh my, it's a windy, windy day!
The breeze whistles by...
Whispers high...
What a lovely sound!
It knocks off my hat!
Fancy that!
It blows my hair around!
Windy day!
Look how the breeze spins like a top!
Swirls through the grass and never stops.
Dances me on my way...
My, oh my, it's a windy, windy day!
It's a windy, windy day!
It's a windy, windy day!

My beautiful baby, my beautiful baby
You're gonna be a star
Somewhere in the sky
Bright and proud, way up high.
You're gonna be a star
Somewhere in the blue
There's a spot just for you!
At night when the sky is clearing
You'll talk with the other stars
I bet you'll be overhearing
What Jupiter said to Mars!
A shiny little star
Is what you're gonna be--
Just you wait and see!
Broken and beautiful, fractured and rare
Missing pieces that used to be there.
Busted and heavenly, trash from afar
To me you look complete, hey, who needs hands and feet?
When you're beautiful, beautiful,
Just as you are.
Busted and heavenly, of trash, you're the star
Your arms have gone astray,
Your nose is far away,
And you're beautiful, beautiful,
Just as you are.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
Oh, you're alive. Yes, you're alive.
You're ali-i-i-i-ive and that's no jive (that's no jive).
You breathe and eat and grow.

Ah, ah, ah...
You're alive. Yes, you're alive (alive).
You're ali-i-i-i-ive . You're alive.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.

And a clock's not alive (no, no, no, no)
A telephone's not alive (no, no, no, no)
An ice cream cone's not alive (no, no, no, no)
They don't breathe or eat or grow (ooh)
And that is how you know-oh-oh (no, no, no)
They're not alive. They're not alive (alive).
They're not ali-i-i-i-ive (not alive).
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
But then again,
A frog is alive (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
A dog is alive (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
A pony is alive (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And a bunny is alive (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
They breathe and eat and grow.
And that is how you know...
They're alive, yes, they're alive (alive).
They're ali-i-i-i-ive. They're alive.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
Oh! Breathe in. Ah! Breathe out.
One more time....
You're alive and we're alive.
We're ali-i-i-i-ive and that's no jive (that's no jive).
Oh, you better believe it, baby.
Can't you hear us breathing, baby.
We're alive....
Tanya Tucker: You'll never take the Texas out of me
I guess a homesick country girl is all I'll ever be
And though destiny directs us
You can take me out of Texas
But you'll never take the Texas out of me
I feel at home in Oklahoma
I'm at ease in Tennessee
But my roots are deep in Texas
Home is always in the heart of me
You'll never take the Texas out of me
I guess a homesick country girl is all I'll ever be
And though destiny directs us
You can take me out of Texas
But you'll never take the Texas out of me
Big Bird (spoken): You know, Tanya, I feel the same way about my home sweet home

So you can't take Sesame Street out of me
TT and BB: Our home sweet homes are very different
But we love them just the same
And when we take our memories with us
Home is sweet by any other name
BB: You can't take Sesame Street out of me
TT: Never take the Texas out of me
BB: That funny homesick feeling is the same for you and me
Both: And if we were to trade places
It would take more than erasers
'Cause you'll never take the feeling out of me

Yankee Doodle stayed at home,
Cooking for his pony.
Put fat spaghetti in a pot,
And called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle, stir it up.
Let it gently simmer.
Add the pepper and the salt,
And that's your pony's dinner.
Mac-mac-mac, mac-macaroni.
See that pony eat it up.
Sim-sim-sim, simmer that dinner.
Now you're cookin' with gas. Yeah!
Oh, Yankee Doodle stayed at home,
Cooking for his pony.
Put fat spaghetti in a pot,
And called it macaroni.
Macaroni. See that pony.
Now you're cookin' with gas. Yeah!

Who looks exactly the way that I look?
When I am reading, who's holding the book?
When I want dinner, who always will feed me?
Who's always handy whenever I need me?
Firm as a feather in all kinds of weather,
Me, me, wonderful me!
Who is at home when I sit on my nest?
Who wears no clothes but is perfectly dressed?
And if I wake up at night and I turn on the light,
and I look in the mirror,
Hey gee, guess
Who I see there.
Wonderful me!
Once I was small,
Small as a seed.
Now I am tall,
Now I can read.
Born up a tree,
Now I am free-
I'm an I, I'm a me.
Who is the bird who is happy and proud?
Who is a bird who stands out in a crowd?
Who makes me dance
When the music is jivy?
Who do I scratch when
I have poison ivy?
Who is the fellow that's
Fluffy and yellow?
Me, me, wonderful me!
Who says I'm right even
When I am wrong? Me!
Who is the bird who is
Singing this song? Me!
And when I get very old
And my feathers turn to gold,
And my age is a hundred
And Three,
Who will I still be?
Uh, oh, what's the next
Word? I forgot.
Oh, rats. Where did
I put the lyrics?
Oh Me! Wonderful Me!
When we grow up, will I be pretty?
Will you be big and strong?
Will I wear dresses that show off my knees?
Will you wear trousers twice as long?
Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all.
And I don't care if you never get tall.
I like what I look like, and you're nice small.
We don't have to change at all.
Hey!
When we grow up, will I be a lady?
Will you be an engineer?
Will I have to wear things like perfume and gloves?
I can still pull the whistle while you steer.
Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all.
And I don't care if you never get tall.
I like what I look like, and you're nice small.
We don't have to change at all.
When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy and do what I like to do,
Like making noise and making faces and making friends like you.
And when we grow up, do you think we'll see
That I'm still like you and you're still like me?
I might be pretty; you might grow tall.
But we don't have to change at all.
spoken: I don't want to change, see, 'cause I still want to be your friend, forever and ever and ever and ever and ever.
A long long time ago
I can still remember how Jim Henson used to make me smile
And I knew if he had his turn
That he could make those people learn
Knowing they’d be quiet with a smile
The shocking news made me quiver
My mom broke it to me over dinner
I thought of my Kermit
Not wanting to believe this was it
I can’t remember if I cried
When I heard the legend died
But something touched me deep inside
The day the Muppets cried
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
Did Bert and Ernie teach you of love?
Can you take a bath alone in the tub
If your mommy tells you so?
I can button up my shirt
Use a spoon to eat dessert
Even reach books way high on the shelf
Well, you should see me pour a glass of juice
Wiggle my front tooth that’s loose
You should see me tie my shoes
Man, hear me add up one and two
I can recite my alphabet
There’s not a letter I’ll forget
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the Muppets cried
I started singin’
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
Oscar has his things all tattered and worn
Full of holes and mostly torn
That’s the only way it should be
Oscar has a newspaper 13 months old
A wrapped fish in it, all smelly and cold
From garbage that came from you and me
1.........2...........3...........4............5.......
6..........7..........8...........9.............10...
You can’t forget 11 and 12
The ladybugs they played well
If they broke their jump rope
Instead they’d tell knock knock jokes
At their picnic in the park
The day the Muppets cried
We were singin'
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
Cookie Monster was really no monster
He just thought the moon was a cookie impostor
A glass of cookie juice on the side
I’ll always prefer soft boiled cookies and pie
I love my cookies scrambled or fried
C is for cookie and that’s good enough for me
Kermit could make Miss Piggy swoon
While Big Bird and Snuffleupagus sang their tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
I would’ve never known which one was not like the other
Was it the guy with the yellow hood?
I sang along every chance I could
The day the Muppets cried
We started singin’
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
So there we were all in one tub
Singin’ rubber ducky you're the one
He made bath time so much fun
So, come on ducky be yellow, ducky be chubby
He always made his way into the tubby
Rubber ducky I’m awfully fond of you
You should see me brush my hair
Even pick out the clothes I wear
It’s no problem you see
Just thank Grover, he taught me
And as my Mom tucked me in goodnight
I turned on my Elmo night light
I knew something was missing alright
The day the Muppets cried
I was singin’
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
I’m waiting for a sunny day
To lift me up and wipe my tears away
Was Sesame Street going to be O.K.?
I turned on my TV some more
Where I’d learned so many years before
But the man said the Muppets couldn’t come out and play
And in the streets the children screamed
But I sat and lived his dreams
As long as I live his words are spoken
His world was always open
A part of me I’ll miss the most
The Count, Kermit and cookies on toast
His living became a legend
The day the Muppets cried
So, why, why must I say goodbye
Kermit’s eyes were heavy
As Miss Piggy cried
I’ll miss the good ol’ days with cookies scrambled or fried
Singin’ that’s the day a part of me died
That’s the day a part of me died
When I'm hungry, I eat
When I'm thirsty, I drink
I get my fires lit up with a match
And when I'm itchy, I scratch
When I'm tired, I sleep
When I'm sneaky, I creep
There's a hook in all the fish I catch
And when I'm itchy, I scratch
Hey!
Buzz off fly, stay away
Who needs you on a sticky summer day?
I don't know what you can possibly see in me
And I don't want such irritating company
Now, when I'm happy, I laugh
When I'm sad, I cry
I get my melons in the melon patch
And when I'm itchy, I scratch
I get my melons in the melon patch
And when I'm itchy, I scratch
I get my melons in the melon patch
And when I'm itchy, I scratch
J: Nelson!
N: Jeanette!
J: It's U!
N: Yes U!
Words that start with U-oooo,oooo
J: Under and untrue- oooo, ooooo
J & N: There is ukulele
J: And there's until
N: Upright, unpopular
J: And uphill
J & N: Have u and always will

Uncle and unglue- ooo, ooo

J: Useful starts with u- ooo, ooo
N: Underwater too, ooooo
J & N: Up, underwear, umbrella, unfair
I'm in love with u, ooooooo, ooooo ( high pitched)
The letter U standing on hillside turns around and says: Unbelievable!
Ernie tosses and turns, trying to get to sleep, then says:
Oh, it's no use, I can't fall asleep. And you know why? It's 'cause I miss my old buddy Bert. He's not here. See, he went to this Pigeon Festival, you know with Bernice, the pigeon? You know, it might make me feel better if I could tell you about it, I hope you don't mind listening?
(singing)
When Bert's not here
The hours last forever
The toys aren't fun
And the cookies don't crunch
When Bert's not here
I don't feel so clever
And I never even feel like having lunch
When Bert's not here
The place is too quiet
The windows creak
Funny thoughts fill my head
When Bert's not here
No way to deny it
I feel I really should have stayed in bed
There's some peculiar things about him
What he likes and does can be a mystery
But to spend a rainy day without him
Makes me realize how much he means to me
When Bert's not here
The sky's not so sunny
My life seems blue
And from my point of view
When Bert's not here
The jokes aren't so funny
And I wonder what on earth I'm gonna do
When Bert's not here
To play with me and you
(spoken)
You know, I do feel better now. I guess sometimes it does help to tell somebody how you feel. So thanks for listening. I bet I can fall right asleep now. Oh, good night!
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
We're all for worm
And worm for all
Together we will
Squirm or fall
We squiggle together
And wriggle together
Worms up in the sky!
Co-operating
Night and day
To make our spaceship fly!
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
Worm, worm, worm, worm,
We crawl together
We're all together
Flying night to noon
Co-operating worm by worm
So we land on the moon
We're all for worm
And worm for all
Together we will squirm
Fall!

We can't help singing La-de-da-de-dum
Loud and clear and strong.

La-de-da-de-dum, La-de-da-de-dum
La-de-da-de-dum, Laaaaaaaaaaaa!

Announcer: And now, it's time for that great new game show 'What's My Letter?'. And here's the host of the show, Guy Smiley.
(applause)
Guy: Thank you! Thank you! And now, before we begin our game, let me tell you that today's letter is the letter 'E'. Remember, that's the letter 'E'. And now, let's meet our first contestant, a lovely young lady, Miss Prairie Dawn.
(applause)
Prairie: Thank you. It is sincerely a pleasure to be here Guy.
Guy: And now, Prairie, here is your question. In the alphabet, what letter comes after the letter 'D'?
Prairie: Oh mercy, I am afraid I do not know.
Guy: Think now Prairie it comes after D and just before F.
Prairie: Uh-huh. Oh, what a puzzler.
Guy: Sometimes it sounds like Eh as in egg, elbow, and elephant.
Prairie: Egg, elbow, elephant. Oh, I have not the faintest.
Guy: Other times it sounds like eee, as in eat, Easter, and evening.
Prairie: This is a very difficult question.
Guy: Time is running out. Remember if you answer correctly, you will win our grand prize, this delightful pet mouse.
Prairie: A mouse??!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Guy: That's absolutely right! Yes! E is the letter right after D, and here is your mouse!
Prairie: EEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Guy: That's all the time we have for today, get off the table Prairie. Tune in next time for another exciting game of What's My Letter?

What's it like to be in school?
Is it fun, is it cool?
Are there lots and lots of rules?
What's it like to be in school?
Tell me what is school about
Can I laugh, can I shout?
Is it inside, is it out?
Tell me what's it all about?
What's it like to be in school?
Will there be a teacher who'll
Help me out when I'm new?
What's it like to be in school?
What makes music?
Anything makes music
When you’re happy on the inside
Everything you hear is music
An old tin can ... that’s music
A frying pan ... that’s music
A rubber band ... that’s music
A paper and a comb
A washer and a thumb
A (???) and a big trombone
What makes music?
Anything makes music
When your heart is open wide
Then everything around is music
And music fills the day
Like nothing else on earth can do
When I’m making music with you!
What makes music?
Anything makes music
When you make a brand new friend
Then everything you do is music
La la la la ... that’s music
La la la la ... that’s music
La la la la ... that’s music
A paper and a comb
A washer and a thumb
A (???) and a big trombone
What makes music?
Anything makes music
When your heart is open wide
Then everything around is music
And music fills the day
Like nothing else on earth can do
When I’m making music with you!
Sometime me think,
What is friend?
And me think,
Friend something very special.
A friend somebody to share your toys,
To stay with and to play with and to make a lot of noise,
To spin around until friend get dizzy,
And jump up and down until stomach get queasy,
And to sometimes tell stories to.
A friend somebody like you.
Sometimes me think,
What is friend?
And me think,
Friend something better than chocolate ice cream!
A friend somebody to take to park,
A buddy you can buddy with 'til it start getting dark,
To laugh and joke and hippity-hop it,
Or tickle and poke 'til friend tell you to stop it,
And me no think of any more.
Well maybe friend somebody
You give up last cookie for.
What do you do with a pet?
You hug him
But don't slug him
You squeeze him
But don't tease him
You love him
But don't shove him
You give him water to drink
Sometimes a bath in the sink
You give him food to eat
And sometimes a treat
You walk with him
And you talk with him
Run with him
Have fun with him
But what do you ALWAYS do with a pet?
You pet him!
[La, La, La, La, La, La. Oh hello there. This is your old pal Grover here.
Oh I am so glad you are here. I was just here all by myself you know.
Oh, but that's okay. I can do lots of things when I'm alone.]
What do I do when I'm alone?
Well, sometimes I sing a little song.
La, La, La, La, La, La.
That is the song I sing.
What do I do when I'm alone?
Well, sometimes I do a little dance.
I jump and I hop, hop, hop.
That is my little dance.
And sometimes when I'm all alone,
I pretend that I can fly.
And I touch all the clouds and
I wave to the birdies as they pass by.
But, sometimes when I am all alone,
Well sometimes I feel a little sad.
'Cause there's no one to share my song,
No one to fly with me.
So, sometimes when I am all alone,
I think of how happy I would be
If I wasn't alone and you were here with me.
[You know there are lots of things you can do when you're alone.
Yeah, you can write yourself a little poem. Or throw a ball up against a wall.
Yeah, yeah, lots of things but you know what...
I think that lots of times it is nicer to be with somebody else than all alone by yourself.]
So, sometimes when I am all alone,
I think of how happy I would be
If I wasn't alone and you were here with me.
(And you are here with me, so I am not alone and I am happy.)
(David is standing by a bench with a 'Wet Paint' sign. Gordon enters.)
David: Wet paint.
(Gordon sits on bench.)
David: Never sit where you see 'Wet Paint.'
'Cause if you do, you might say, 'Yipes!'
When your brand new clothes are covered with stripes!
(Gordon gets up and finds paint stripes on his clothes.)
David: Wet paint!
It's so sloppy!
Wet paint!
It's so gloppy!
Wet paint!
Stay away from wet paint.
(David walks over to Maria, who is standing by a lamp-post with a 'Wet Paint' sign.)
David: Wet paint!
Never touch where you see 'Wet Paint.'
(Maria touches lamp-post, then stops and pulls away her hand, which is now covered with paint.)
David: 'Cause if you do, please understand,
You'll have gunky paint all over your hand!
Wet paint!
It's so sticky!
Wet paint!
Really icky!
Wet paint!
Stay away from wet paint.
(I don't remember most of the words to the last verse, except that Gordon and Maria cover David with paint and hang a 'Wet Paint' sign on him.)
Gordon and Maria: And we'll hang a 'Wet Paint' sign on you!
Wet paint!
Wet paint!
Wet paint!
Stay away from wet paint!
Wet paint!
Take your brush and gently dip it
Be careful not to drip it
Wet paint
( background singing cows 'wet paint,wet paint')
Wet your roller then you roll it
Calmly cooly you control it
Wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint)
Red and green and yellow too
Purple pink and baby blue
Wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )
You pour it in a bucket
You mush it all around
You take a mop and mop it
Oh you slather it and slop it
But be careful not to drop it
On the cold cold ground
Wet paint, wet paint
Wet paint, wet paint
Drippy, lumpy, gushy, gloppy
Smeary, smelly, slippy, sloppy
Wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )
Squishy, squashy, muddy, mushy
Sticky, slimy, slurpy, slushy
Wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )
Smear it, roll it, throw it, brush it
Squish it, splash it, crunch and crush it
Wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )
You pour it in a bucket
You mush it all around
You take a mop and mop it
Oh you slather it and slop it
But be careful not to drop it
On the cold cold ground
Wet paint, wet paint
You know I'm crazy 'bout wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )
Can't get enough of wet paint
( wet paint, wet paint )

Some of us have feathers
Some of us have fins
Some of us are furry
And some of us have skins
We swim and hop and slither
And leap and soar and run
And we all live together
On a planet of the sun
We are all earthlings
We are all earthlings
Spinning around together
On a planet of the sun
We live in the desert
We live inside a tree
We live high in the mountains
Or deep beneath the sea
We live in tents and cabins
In houses just for one
And we all live together
On a planet of the sun
We are all earthlings
We are all earthlings
Spinning around together
On a planet of the sun
Floating down a river
Swinging through the trees
Climbing up a mountain
Going with the breeze
All of us can have a happy healthy place to be
If we can float and swim and climb in earthling harmony
We are all earthlings
We are all earthlings
Spinning around together
On a planet of the sun
Spinning around together
On a planet of the sun

My hair is yellow
My eyes are brown and green and blue
My name is Jack and Fred
My name's Amanda Sue
I'm called Kareem Abdul
My name is you
I live in southern France
I'm from a Texas ranch
I come from Mecca and Peru
I live across the street
In the mountains, on a beach
I come from everywhere
And my name is you
We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
Sometimes I get mad and mean
Sometimes I feel happy
And when I want to cry, I do
When I'm by myself at night
I hold my teddy tight
Until the morning light
My name is you
I have sisters one, two, three
In my family there's just me
I've got one daddy
I've got two
Grandpa helps me cross the street
My cat walks on furry feet
I love my parakeet

We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
I like to run and climb
I like to sit and read
I like to watch my TV, too
And when it's time for bed
I like my stories read
'Sweet dreams' and 'Love you' said
My name is you
We all sing with the same voice
The same song, the same voice
We all sing with the same voice
And we sing in harmony
Let's go, boys.
Oh, I'm so sorry to see that you're leaving.
It's so sad that you and I have got to part.
And now, even though I'm deeply grieving,
I'm waving goodbye to you with my heart.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you're departin'.
It's so sad that no longer you'll be here.
And while my poor feelings are still smartin',
I'm waving goodbye to you with my ear.
Oh yeah, I'll miss you from stem to stern
And so every single part of me
Wants to say goodbye in turn.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you'll be travellin'.
I hope that you know I'll always care.
And while my poor heartstrings are unravellin'
I'm waving goodbye to you with my, uh, hair.
Oh yeah, I love you. I really do.
And so every single part of me
Wants to say goodbye to you.
Oh, I'm so sorry to see that you're a going.
It's so sad when a dear doggy goes.
And while my poor tears are a flowin'
I'm waving goodbye to you with my, uh,
With my, oh, with my, oh yeah, with my nose.
In a tall boot that was very nice
Lived seven tiny little mice
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
At seven o'clock, they were all fed
With strawberry jelly on a slice of bread
On seven slices of whole-wheat bread
One at a time, the jam was spread
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
And after dinner, they cleaned their rooms
These seven mice, with their seven brooms
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Then into bed and turn out the light
And the seven mice all said 'Good night!'
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

Announcer: The story of Wanda the witch is brought to you by the letter W.
(Crystal ball shows the letters of the alphabet in rapid succession until it gets to W. Scene changes to show a sign marked 'Washington.' A nearby sign marked 'west' is pointing in that direction.)
Announcer: Wanda the witch lived somewhere west of Washington.
(Scene changes to show Wanda, an old witch who wears a long black dress and pointed black hat.)
Announcer: Around her waist, instead of a belt, she wore a worm.
(We see a close-up of the worm wiggling around Wanda's waist.)
Announcer: Wanda had a pet weasel.
(Scene changes to show a weasel wearing a collar.)
Weasel: I am a weasel.
Announcer: And on her head, a wiry wig.
(We see a close-up of Wanda's wig, which is made of W's. Scene changes to a calendar and focuses on the word 'Wednesday' on it. Scene then changes to show Wanda walking through a snowy scene.)
Announcer: On Wednesday, in the middle of winter, Wanda walked to the well to get water to wash her wig.
(A snowman holds up a sign that says 'Winter. Then Wanda arrives at the well and tugs at the rope attached its wheel -- without success. We see the word 'wheel' during the announcer's next speech.)
Announcer: But the wheel on the well was worn, and Wanda grew weary. So she waved her wand, and her washtub filled with warm water.
(Wanda waves her wand, and we see the word 'wand.' A washtub appears before her. A small cloud appears above the washtub, filling it with rain.)
Announcer: But just as Wanda was about to drop her wig into the warm water, a wild wind whipped the wig from her hand and blew it away forever.
(A windstorm marked 'Wind' blows Wanda's wig from her hand and out of sight.)
Announcer: Which taught Wanda this lesson: witches who wash their wigs on windy winter Wednesdays are wacky.
(Scene changes to show some bald witches dancing around a washtub filled with wigs made of W's. One of the witches cackles wildly. Scene changes to crystal ball, still showing a W.)
Announcer: This witch story was brought to you courtesy of the letter W.
Phil Harmonic: (in audience, to uncle) Now, you mustn't snore during the performance, Uncle Donny. Oh! (turns around) Ahem ... Hello, I'm Phil Harmonic, and today, live from the Nestropolitan Opera we present the world-reknowned Opera entitled, 'Wally'. This opera is known worldwide as the 'Rhyming Opera' because, unbelievably, almost every word in it rhymes with the word 'Wally'. So, by golly, let the curtain rise on the reknowned rhyming opera, 'Wally'.
Wally: A trolly took Wally
Polly: And Polly, his collie
Wally: And Molly, his dolly
To Fallington Square
All&Chorus;: Trolly, Wally, Polly,
Collie, Molly, Dolly,
Fallington Square!
Wally: And Wally, so jolly
Polly: With Polly, his collie
Wally: And Molly, his dolly
Met Holly Jones there
All&Chorus;: Wally, Jolly, Polly,
Collie, Molly, Dolly,
Holly Jones there!
Holly: Then Wally kissed Holly
Polly: So Polly, his collie
And Molly, his dolly,
Were jolly and gay
All&Chorus;: Wally, Holly, Polly,
Collie, Molly, Dolly,
Jolly and gay!
Wally: But Wally, by golly,
Got back on the trolly,
Polly: With Polly, his collie,
All&Chorus;: And went on his way
Wally, Golly, Jolly,
Polly, Collie, Wally
Went on his way
Holly: But Wally left Molly
His dolly with Holly...
(speaks) And later, Holly and Wally got married, and opened up a Mexican food stand, called -
Wally: Holly's and Wally's
Tamales - Hooray!
All&Chorus;: Wally, Holly, Polly,
Dolly, Collie, Hot
Tamale - Hooray!
(applause and all bow)
(spoken) Hi, welcome to Sesame Street. I'm going for a walk!
(sings) Hello lamppost, hello tree,
Hello people smilin' at me
I'm at home and it's a treat
Walkin' down my street
Hello bus stop, hello store
Hello steps in front of my door
Feeling good 'cause life is sweet

Not just a street -
A way of life!
Home!
Voiceover: (sounds like Roscoe Orman, the actor that plays Gordon) This is Wilhemina.
Wilhemina: Wilhemina!
Voiceover: Her favorite letter is W. (little hearts appear around her head)
Wilhemina: (says the W sound, not the letter) W ... w ... w ... Wilhemina! (she jumps up and lands in a cloud of dust)
Voiceover: (as a red letter W throbs) W for water ... (the letter changes to blue water splashing from one end of the letter to the other) ... whistle ... (the letter turns brown, a bulge appears at the left side corner, moves to the right and the end of the letter turns into lips as the whistle escapes) ... and worm! (the letter turns into a smiling worm, which kinda wiggles up and down staying in the shape of the letter)
(Now we see Wilhemina splashing in a puddle, hopping from one foot to the other) Wilhemina likes to whistle and wiggle ... (she whistles) ... while she wades in the water. (she turns her back to the camera) W .... (the letter appears, striped and changing from brownish to yellowish) ... for Wilhemina ... (her face replaces the letter) .... and walk ... (the letter is now solid and walks to the right of the screen on its bottom parts) ... and wheel ... (two wheels appear at the bottom and it races along) ... and whiskers ... (the letter turns red and sprouts hairs) ... and wide ... (it expands, pushing off the screen to cover it) ... and wink ... (it turns into a w-shaped eye and winks) ... Wilhemina can wiggle ... (we see Wilhemina shake her booty from left to right) ... and walk ... (she walks off to the left) ... whistle ... (she whistles) ... and wink ... (she winks)
Wilhemina: (as a W grows underneath her, she stands on top and spreads her arms out) W for Wilhemina! (they both throb as the camera moves back)
Well I'd like to visit the moon,
on a rocket ship high in the air.
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon,
but I don't think I'd like to live there.
Though, I'd like to look down at the earth from above,
I would miss all the places and people I love
so although I might like for one afternoon
I don't wanna live on the moon.
I'd like to travel under sea,
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea,
But I don't think I'd like to live there.
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
but there's not much to do when your friends are all fish,
and an oyster and clam aren't real family,
so I don't wanna live in the sea.
I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar,
go back in time and meet a dinosaur,
there's so many strange places I'd like to be,
but none of them permanently.
So if I should visit the moon,
well i'll dance on a moonbeam and then,
I will make a wish on a star and I'll wish I was home once again.
Though, I'd like to look down at the earth from above,
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go,
I'll be coming home soon
Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No I don't want to live on the moon.
Spoken:
Hi there! I, Big Bird, am going to sing you a song about the letter 'V'. The letter 'V' is the first sound you hear in the word 'very,' but there aren't too many other words that begin with the letter 'V'. So I'm just going to have to sing the word 'very' an awful lot like this...
Sung:
I'm very, very, very, very,
Very, very, very, very,
Very, very, very, very
Glad to see you
I'm here to sing about a very, very,
Very, very, very, very,
Very special letter
Called the letter 'V'
But it's very, very, very, very,
Very, very, very, very,
Very, very hard to
Think of 'V' words,
Because there really aren't very, very,
Very, very, very, very,
Very many words that start with 'V'
(spoken)
Now let me think. Hmmmm. A-ha! I thought of some.
(sung)
There's 'vegetables.' That's a 'V' word.
There's 'voice,' 'vacation,' and 'valentine.'
There's 'vanilla' and 'vanish' and 'vine.'
(spoken)
Gee! That's about all I can think of, so I guess my song sounds
(sung)
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
Very, very, very, very, very silly.
Still I'm very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
Very, very glad you're here with me
To hear me sing about a very, very, very, very, very, very,
very, very, very, very special letter.
A very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,
Very special letter called the letter 'V'.
A girl named Violet
Put a V in the ground
And up grew a vine
With V-words all around
She stepped on 'vest'
And 'vote' and 'vampire'
Then 'very' and 'voice'
Going higher and higher
At the top of the vine
Was a railroad station
So she got on the train
And took a vacation
Ernie: Hey, Bert!
Come fly with me in an upside-down world!
(Bert: Whaaa!)
There's so many strange things to see! (laugh)
There's upside-down people who walk down the street
With upside-down shoes on their upside-down feet
In an upside-down world
(Bert: Ernie!!)
In an upside-down world
(Bert: Ernie, I don't feel so good)
Ernie: Whee!
It's fun to be in an upside-down world
There's fish that fall out of the sea
(Bert: Uh oh!)
There's upside-down clocks that make everyone late!
(Bert: Aaah!)
Upside-down food that won't stay on your plate
In an upside-down world (laugh)
In an upside-down world!
There's upside down everything all over town
It all looks so funny that I've got to frown
'Cause a frown is a smile when it's turned upside-down
In an upside-down
(Bert: What side down?)
Ernie: Upside-down world.
Spoken:
Ernie: Hey, Bert, how'd you like to take over the controls?
Bert: No! No! Never in a million years!
Ernie: Yeah, Bert, it's really easy!
Bert: No! No!
Ernie: Hey, Bert, I'm going to trade places with you!
Bert: What?? What, no, Ernie!
*sound of airplane listing to one side badly*
Bert: *laugh* Hey, Ernie, this is fun! *laugh*
Ernie: We don't have time for fun now, Bert! We've gotta find Big Bird!
Bert: Oh!
Sung:
Ernie: There's upside-down everything all over town
It all looks so funny, that I've got to frown
'Cause a frown! Is a smile! When it's turned upside-down!
In an upside down, what side down?, whoops side down, oops side down, what side down, upside down woooooorld!!!!!
Spoken:
Ernie: Oh no, I think you've lost him, Bert!
Bert: I'VE lost him???
Ernie: Yeah, while you were singing, Bert!
Bert: But ... you were singing too, you always do this to me!
Ernie: Why don't you just turn the plane around?
Bert: You, you, you drive it!!
Ernie: Would you just turn the plane around?
*fading voices*
In the twelfth kingdom
Beyond the twelfth sea
On the twelfth mountain
And near the twelfth stream
In castle number twelve
With twelve towers
Lived a beautiful princess named Twelveia
At noon, on the twelfth day of the twelfth month
Twelveia would be twelve years old!
So she sent her twelve knights
To twelve kingdoms
To invite twelve princes
And twelve princesses
To her birthday party!
Twelve cannons fired twelve shots
Announcing Twelveia's twelfth birthday
Twelve chariots each drawn by twelve horses
Arrived with twelve princes and twelve princesses
Each carrying twelve gifts for Twelveia
Twelve courses were cooked by twelve cooks
Wearing twelve hats
Mixing with twelve spoons
One cake was baked by twelve bakers
Twelveia cried twelve tears
Because she was disappointed
That there was only one cake
Until she climbed twelve steps
To the twelfth tower and saw ...
That the cake was a huge number 12!
Voiceover: We take you now to Kermit the frog with another fast-breaking news story!
Spoken: Hi ho, Kermit the frog of Sesame Street News and today I am in the park meeting some of the birds who live here. And...oh here comes a bird right now, excuse me, I'm Kermit the frog of Sesame Street News, ah, can you tell me, do you live in this park?
Baby Bird: Yes Sir, I live right here.
Kermit: And which tree do you live in?
Baby Bird: Well you see, I live in TWO trees.
Kermit: TWO trees?!
Baby Bird: My Mom lives right in this tree right here, and my Dad lives in that tree way over there.
Kermit: Really?
Baby Bird: Yeah, I'll explain it.
Sung:
Me and Mom we live together in this tree right in the park
Mom Bird: I built our little nest all out of twigs and mud and bark
She feeds me lots of breadcrumbs and she taught me how to fly
And every day together we go way up to the sky
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me
Kermit: I see and does your father have a nest in his tree?
Now my Daddy's nest is there right in that big old maple tree
Whenever I fly over and he wraps his wings 'round me
Dad: We like to dig for worms and sometimes sing a little song
My Daddy's tree's the other place where I feel I belong
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me!
Kermit: Okay, well that's terrific, so are you going home to your Mom now?
Nope.
Kermit: You're going to your Dad's?
Nope.
Voice off-screen: Come on over sweetie!
To my Grandma's, hi Grandma! She lives over there in the bushes!
spoken as they run onto a castle backdrop all decked out in fab royal outfits:
'Princess Zoe, I, your young Prince Telly beseech you, won't you please choose me as your playmate?'
'Princess Zoe, Prince Elmo beseech you to choose him as your playmate!'
'Okay, whatever shall I, Princess Zoe do?!'
sung by Christopher Barron (lead singer of The Spin Doctors, and hereupon called Chris)
If two princes ask you for a playdate
Let's have some fun now
Each one wants to be your only playmate
Says 'I'm the one now', one prince says:
Telly: Hey my toys are so good, that you'll adore 'em
Chris: One says:
Elmo: That stuff he's got is no good, so just ignore him
Chris: This one says:
Telly: If you try my wagon, how glad you'll be now
Chris: That one says:
Elmo: Hey you know he's braggin', so please pick me now
Chris: One says he's got a tennis racket
Telly: And a pool now
Chris: One says:
Elmo: Hey dig my leather jacket, Prince Elmo's cool now
Chris: Then you had a really good idea you said:
Zoe: Can't you get this simple notion in your head?
Have either of you fellows stopped to think of whether
The three of us could all join up and play together?
All muppets: The three of us could all join up and play together
Chris: Both princes said:
Telly & Elmo: Hey you're really smart girl, we dig your scheme now
Chris: Since then you've learned to be more patient
Yeah, you're a team now
Three friends who've learned cooperation
Can lead to fun now
Let's give you three a big ovation
For what you've done now
Muppets: Yeah, yeah!
Chris: Cooperation, cooperation, cooperation
spoken, Zoe: We're cooperating
Telly: Princess Zoe, who were those guys?
Zoe: Those guys? Oh, they're my Royal Musicians. I think they call themselves The Spin Doctors.
Telly & Elmo: Oh!
One, two, two little dolls
One, two, two little chairs
Two little dolls, two little chairs, two little girls
And a little dollhouse
One, two, two little plates
One, two, two little spoons
Two little plates, two little spoons, two little dolls
And a little dollhouse
Two little girls serve two dolls tea
Behaving grown-up as can be.
They have two cups--one and two
I can count them--why don't you?
One, two, two sleepy heads
One, two, two little beds
Two sleepy heads, two little beds, all quiet now
In a little dollhouse
What's that? Small pitter-pats
One, two, two kitty cats
Two kitty cats went on a spree
Then sat down and had some tea.
Two heads are better than one-
That's a saying that's oh so true
Two heads are better than one-
There-me! There-you! That's two!
And between the two of you, you can solve
Any problem that comes up
It's much better to be two,
'Cause what you don't know or can't figure out
You can try, too!
Two heads are better than one
The more the merrier, you bet
Two heads are better than one
You could use all the help you can get!
And when all's said and done
This is where it's at
What I'm simply saying is that
Two heads are better than one!
So just put your heads together
Yes, put your heads together
Quick, put your heads together
And have fun! Have fun!
2 is my favorite number
2 is neat
2 is being together
2 is sweet
2 is you and another someone having fun
2 is simple
2 is easy
All 2 is is 1 and 1
2 is all laughing and loving
2 is right!
2 is somebody's arms just holding tight
2 you see
Is better by far than 1 could ever be
'Cause 2 is you and me
Kermit: Hi, ho, this is Kermit the frog with a special news report from Sesame Street News. I'm speaking to you from the studio of that eminent singer and songwriter, Mr. Don Music, who's hard at work on his latest song. Let's listen, shall we? Yes.
Don: Twinkle, twinkle, little star...
Kermit: Sounds good.
Don: How I wonder what you are...
Kermit: Probably a classic.
Don: Up above the world so high... (looks up, then Kermit does) like a diamond in the.... in the ...in the... Oh, rats, I'll never finish this song, never! (throws his head onto the keyboard)
Kermit: Don, Don, what seems to be the problem? That sounded just lovely.
Don: The problem is, if you must know, (Kermit nods) that I can't find a word to rhyme with 'high'! I need a word to rhyme with 'high', listen. Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in the ... I'll never get this song, never! I need a word to rhyme with 'high'!
Kermit: Okay, well, let's see ... like a diamond in the ... I have it, like a diamond in a pie! That rhymes, how about that? See? Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a diamond in a pie.
Don: That doesn't make much sense, I mean, what's a diamond doing in a pie?!
Kermit: Well, ummm, I never thought of it that way. Well, what do you find in pies?
Don: Rhubard, apples, cherries...
Kermit: That's it then.
Don: You mean... (starts to play the piano) twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, up above the world so high, like a cherry in a pie?
Kermit: Mmmmh, mmmmh (agreeable noises)
Don: That doesn't make any sense, I mean, what's a cherry pie doing up above in the sky?!
Kermit: Well, I don't know, it could be an advertisement for something, you know? I do see what you mean though. Ummm, well, we could change the other line then. What goes with cherry pie?
Don: Well, a nice sandwich maybe?
Kermit: There ya go, see? Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are, would you like a ham on rye, or a piece of cherry pie.
Don: That doesn't make any sense, I mean, stars don't eat!
Kermit: Well, there it is, right there, there's your problem! There's your problem!
Don: It is?
Kermit: Yes, get rid of the star! Sure.
Don: Something else, let's see .... wiggle, wiggle little worm?
Kermit: No, no, no, worms are gooey.
Don: Slither, slither little snake?
Kermit: Naa, I don't like snakes.
Don: What else is there, horses? Fishes? Birds?
Kermit: Hey, how about that, how about this? Listen to this ... (Don starts to play) Whistle, whistle little bird, isn't eating crumbs absurd, try a ham and cheese on rye, or a piece of cherry pie...
Don: And if the crumbs are all you want, then don't come to my restaurant!
Kermit: Good.
Don: That's it! Of course! This could be my biggest hit!
Kermit: Your biggest hit?
Don: I've done it again!
Kermit: We did this together!
Don: Alright boys, hit it! (three western-type male muppets pop up from behind the piano, with mustaches and bandanas, they start to sing)
Kermit: I want a co-lyricist credit here.
Singers: Whistle, whistle little bird
Isn't eating crumbs absurd
Try a ham and cheese on rye
And a piece of cherry pie
If those crumbs are all you want
Don't come in my restaurant
Try a ham and cheese on rye
And a piece of cherry pie
If those crumbs are all you want
Don't come in my restaurant
Kermit: There you have it folks, another brand-new golden oldie from the pen of Don Music and Frog.
(Monsterpiece Theatre overture plays as we pan in on Cookie Monster seated in his chair wearing his lovely red smoking jacket.)
Cookie Monster: Oh hello, this Alistair Cookie here for Monsterpiece Theatre. Tonight another episode in mystery. About a monster trying to guess a town's secret. A town called ... (dramatic music da-dum) Twin Beaks. Oh, excuse me (he runs off stage).
(The scene is now a diner, centre screen a booth with a piece of pie on the red-checkered table-cloth. Cookie enters and spies said pie. Twin Peaks music softly plays in background.)
Cookie Monster: Oh ho! Pie ... oh ho ... (speaks into hand-held tape recorder) Diane, this Agent Cookie reporting. Me in town called Twin Beaks. (sits down looks around) Darn fine town ... (devours pie) Darn fine pie! (devours plate) Darn fine plate too. Diane, there is one thing me no can find out. Why town called Twin Beaks? Me begin asking questions. Asking questions best way to find out something.
(The waitress, a bird with orange feathers, appears with her back to us.)
Waitress: Anything else I can get you?
Cookie Monster: Oh ho, hello, yes! You can get me some answers.
Waitress: What was the question?
Cookie Monster: Me want to know why town is called Twin Beaks.
(Dramatic music as the waitress turns to face us. Instead of one beak she has ... two beaks! The effect is one of having split her beak down the middle.)
Waitress: Hey I don't bud into your business do I? Stay out of mine! (she walks quickly away)
Cookie Monster: That not darn fine answer! (he sighs, gets out of the booth and walks toward the next table) Me got to ask more people more questions. Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey (to the birds at the next table with their backs to us) Me Special Agent Cookie.
First Bird: I'm Finch ... David Finch.
Cookie Monster: David Finch, good, me like bird who know his own name. Me have question. Why this town called Twin Beaks?
(Dramatic music as Cookie looks around for source.)
(David Finch gets up from the table still not facing us.)
David Finch: I'll see you later ... (turns to face us and we see his two beaks) Laura. (walks away)
(Second Bird gets up from the table, this would be Laura.)
Laura: Oh well, gotta fly.
Cookie Monster: Wait, wait, wait ... you no can give me teensy-tinesy hint?
Laura (into Cookie's ear)' It's called Twin Beaks because ...
Voice of David Finch off-screen: Come on!
Laura: Gotta go!
Cookie Monster: Please oh please, please, please ...
Laura: Ask the Log Bird.
Cookie Monster: The Log Bird?
David Finch: You coming or what?
Laura (turns to face camera): Yes. (she leaves)
Cookie Monster: This town gets stranger and stranger. Okay! Me look for Log Bird. Hmmm ...
(Cookie looks around, the camera pans to the door as the music builds.)
(The door opens and in walks a small yellowish bird carrying a log.)
Log Bird: Who's looking for me?
Cookie Monster: Oh, me, me, me, me. (pointing at each item as he says ...) Log ... Bird ... oh ho ... Log Bird! Me look for you.
Log Bird: What's on your mind?
Cookie Monster: Me want to ask you one simple question. Why this town called Twin Beaks?
Log Bird: Let me ask.
Cookie Monster: No, no, no, no. Me asking questions that's how me find out things.
Log Bird: Let me ask my log. Do you know why this town is called Twin Beaks?
(The log is turned over and the log's face is uncovered.)
Log: How should I know? I'm a log!
Cookie Monster: Ho ha! A talking log!
(The Log Bird starts backing Cookie into the counter.)
Log Bird: That's right a talking log! A log that doesn't like to be laughed at! (to log) Come on let's get out of here.
Cookie Monster (as she leaves): Sorry! (Cookie stands next to an eavedropping counter-bird wiping up as he says into his tape recorder ...) Diane, me hurt a log's feelings today and me no closer to finding out why they call this place Twin Beaks. But! Me did notice one thing *very* interesting about the birds in this town. They all have two beaks!
(Counter-bird looks up in shock and quickly leaves.)
Cookie Monster: But they no like to talk. Oh well. (spots pie on counter) Time for more of this great pie! (picks up pie and leaves) Let's go, Diane.
(Scene changes to the Monsterpiece Theatre set as Cookie rushes on and sits down.)
Cookie Monster: And that concludes Twin Beaks. Darn fine story ... (cocks head and poses) darn fine actor and ... (picks up pie from out of sightline and devours it) darn fine pie. This Alistair Cookie for Monsterpiece Theatre.
I believe in miracles and I can tell you why
Once a year the street I live on sparkles like the sky
All hung with lights for Christmas
Twinkling ev'rywhere
The world turns bright for Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is
I believe in miracles
I know because I've seen
Once a year the place I walk is filled with trees of green
And pine cone smells of Christmas
Floating thru the air
To jingle bells of Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is
But the greatest wonder of them all
Is not what's happening around you, it's the way
You start to be
Yes the greatest wonder of them all is how your
Heart is filled with love
You start to light up like a Christmas tree
Feelings feel so wonderful
You have to let them show
Maybe that's why ev'ryone begins to get a glow
And fill their hearts with Christmas
Spirit they can share
That's the best part of Christmas
And if that isn't a true blue miracle
I don't know what one is
And if that isn't a true blue miracle,
I don't know what one is
Each night when my castle is gloomy
And the werewolves start howling anew
And the cold mist creeps down from the mountains
My thoughts turn, my darling, to you
You're my Transylvania toot toot tootsie
My Transylvania toot toot tootsie turtle dove
My dearest, it's no wonder, you make me think of thunder
Of lightning storms, black cats, newts, toads and love
Be my Transylvania toot toot tootsie
By my toot toot truest tootsie of them all
And when the day is through, I will count the bats with you
(Ah! One, two, three, four)
That's my toot toot tootsie, Transylvania Love Call
Each night when the spiders start spinning
And the wolves start to frolic and play
And the fog rolls down over the swamplands
My darling, you can always hear me say
You're my Transylvania toot toot tootsie
My Transylvania toot toot tootsie turtle dove
You make me feel so eerie, I want to call you dearie
You make me think of cobwebs, squeaking doors and love
Be my Transylvania toot toot tootsie
Be my toot toot truest tootsie of them all
And when the day is through, I will count the bats with you
(Ah, thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six)
That's my toot toot tootsie
I said my tootsie
Transylvania Love Call
When sad, we sing a mournful tune
Like creatures baying at the moon
But we all dance when things are fine
Yes, even Doctor Frankenstein
Ah, ha ha! Ha, ha, ha!
(Spoken: And what a dancer Frank is!
And what dance does he do? Three guesses! Ah, ah, ah!
Bobby Vinton, eat your heart out! )
Things that say 'boo' are all rushing to do
The Translyvania Polka
Witches and elves are all teaching themselves
The Transylvania Polka
Goblins and ghouls, they are dancing like fools.
The Transylvania Polka
There's a mania in Rumania-
It's called the Polka from Transylvania!
All together now! Count with the Count!

1, 2, 3, 4...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
1, 2, 3, 4...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

Hi, I'm Donnie Budd (?) and I want you to know
I'm the number one fiddle in this number show
Here's two little toucans, one, two
Do a little dance they do at the zoo
It's called the (violin playing) Two-Step
Ooooh, take 2 steps on the tips of your toes
Take 2 steps that's the way it goes
Dance one two on the tips of your toes

I'm getting pretty big, I'm not a baby anymore
Last summer I could hardly reach the doorknob on the door
And someone had to lift me up and show me what to do
But now I turn it by myself and push and walk right through
oooh oooh woh oh woh hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
And there are other things I do I couldn't do before
Like help my momma fold the clothes and sweep the kitchen floor
And I can dress alone and do the buttons by myself
And lace my shoes and get things down when they are on the shelf
I make the elevator move, I track it up and down
And I can make a big bus stop and let us off downtown
oooh ooh woh oh woh hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
I give the dog his supper and pour milk for the cat
Throw Ma a ball I almost can hit it with a bat
It's not so easy and I guess I have a way to go
But there are quite a lot of things that I already know
oooh oooh woh oh woh hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Ernie: Hey everybody! I'm going on a tiger hunt! I've got my trusty rusty telescope right here (squeaking noises in background). You wanna come along? Well, let's go then. (sound of door opening)
A tiger hunt can be fun, you just do what I do. Now first we're gonna walk down this road. Of course, you're not really on a road but you can pretend. Just stand up and walk around the room or walk in place without really going anywhere. Come on now, everybody walk. Are you walking with me? Good!
Okay, now we've got to climb this hill. Oh ... hee ... this is hard. Are you climbing with me? Good. There now here we are at the top of the hill. And now we can run down! Are you running with me? Okay!
Watch out there's a fence at the bottom of the hill, we'll have to jump it ... Alley-oop! We made it! Oh oh, we're here. we're walking through the tiger jungle. Oh boy. Oh there are a lot of mosquitoes here! Shoo mosquitoes! Shoo those mosquitoes away! Oh there's some on my arm. Slap those mosquitoes if they land on you. There, that's better.
Hey look, we've come to a big thicket of thorns. We're gonna have to crawl on our tummies to get through these thorns. You crawling with me? Good! Oops, I'm caught on a thorn (ripping sound) ooh ... there. Now we can get up because we're at the other side of the thicket and ... what is this?
We've come to the great jungle river! We're gonna have to swim for it. Ready to dive into the water? Ready, get set, jump! (splashing sounds) Here we go, swimming across the river! Oh my trusty rusty telescope is going to get even rustier. There, there, we made it. Okay, walk up on to the river bank. Here, oh look over there. It's a bunch of elephants. We'd better tiptoe past them. Are you tiptoeing with me? Good! There, okay now we're past the elephants. We should be near the tiger's house. Let's climb that tree so we can look around. You climbing with me? Okay. Here we go. All right, now here we are high in the tree. Let's look through my trusty rusty telescope and try to find that tiger. Look to the right. Look to the left. Look down ... hmmm ... I don't see a tiger.
Mr. Tiger: Good afternoon!
Ernie: Oops. There's a big furry striped animal in this tree with us.
Mr. Tiger: Roar!
Ernie: It's a tiger! RUN! Climb down the tree as fast as you can. He's following us - Run! Tiptoe past the elephants. Run down the river bank. Swim the jungle river. Climb up and cross through the thicket of thorns. Then slap the mosquitoes away. And run through the jungle. Now jump over the fence. Now run up the hill. Now run down the hill. Now open the door and (sound of door closing) ooh ... ahh ... we made it ... we're home ...
Bert: Hey, hi Ernie. Where you been?
Ernie: Oh Bert, don't ask!
(knocking on door)
Bert: Oh, I'll get it Ernie.
(sound of door opening)
Mr. Tiger: Roar!
Bert: Hi, Mr. Tiger. What do you want?
Mr. Tiger: Ernie forgot his trusty rusty telescope in my jungle!
(door closes)
Ernie: Oh, oh Bert!
One, two, three
Here's a song about the number three
I'd like you to count along with me
One, two, three
Three old boar hogs taking a nap
Three pekinese dogs going 'yap, yap'
Three snapping turtles going 'snap, snap, snap'
And they all lived together on a fat lady's lap
One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three (he, he, he, he)
One, two, three
One, two, three
One, two, three (he, he, he, he)

This frog has to go his own way
This frog doesn't care what the other frogs say
This frog wants to be happy, and this frog has to try
This frog is gonna make it or know the reason why
I'm not gonna sit here like some dumb old bump on a log
That isn't me!
I'm gonna be this frog!
This frog has a song to be sung
This frog isn't gonna spend his life in a swamp, catchin flies with his tongue
This frog may slip and stumble, but this frog tries again
This frog never will grumble, but fall to rise again
This frog is staying with it, like a tick sticks to a dog
I'm gonna win!
You're gonna love this frog!
(This winning frog....)
This frog has some climbing to do
This frog has some dreams that he's makin come true
This frog never will falter, no not through slush or fog
This frog will not wear a halter, cause nothing halts this frog!
I made myself a promise as a young green pollywog:
I'll be on top!
Nothing can stop (Nothing can stop) THIS FROG!
(THIS FROG! THIS FROG! THIS FROG)
(the scene is Ernie and Bert's bedroom at night)
(spoken)
Ernie: Bert? (we hear Bert snoring) Bert? Bert?
Bert: Huh? Wha-wh-what? Huh? (waking up sounds)
Ernie: Hey, Bert? I was just thinking of some of the things you can do with your head, Bert.
Bert: (huge sigh) Oh, Ernie.
Ernie: You know, Bert, one of the things you can do with your head is to remember.
Bert: (big sigh) Ohhhh.
Ernie: You can remember with your head, Bert.
Bert: Great, great, Ernie. (trying to turn his face to the pillow, not pleased)
Ernie: And I was just thinking about some of the things I remember best. (music starts)
Bert: Good.
Ernie: Things I really like to remember, Bert.
(sung)
Ernie: Things that I remember
Times that never end
Favorite things inside my head
Special friend to friend
Roads we've walked together
(E&B; walking through the jungle)
All the stops we've made
(in the mummy's tomb)
Jokes we've told and songs we've sung
(first the scene where Ernie writes a shopping list with chocolate pudding, then the two dancing side-by-side in their jammies from 'But I Like You')
And silly games we've played
(dressed up as cavemen, then Ernie with socks on his ears)
And there are chilly days in winter
(Ernie cramming a wooly hat on Bert's head)
Out laughing in the snow
(out in the snow with a snowman, Bert is twirled around as Ernie whips off Bert's scarf to put on the snowman)
And lazy days in summer
(Ernie burying Bert in the sand at the beach)
With no place much to go
(in a boat, from the 'Here fishee, fishee, fishee' skit, the fish flying into the boat)
Each day has its memories
And when the day is through
Things that I remember
Are the things I did with you
(spoken)
Ernie: You see what I mean, Bert?
Bert: (now sitting up in bed, much calmer than before) Yeah, I kinda do, Ernie. And you know what? I kinda feel the same way.
(sung)
Bert: Things that I remember
Safe inside my head
Rubber ducks and pigeons
(Ernie in the bath with rubber duckie, then Bernice, the pigeon, playing checkers)
And the different books we read
(Bert's trying to read as Ernie stands next to his chair with binoculars and a pith helmet on his head)
You took my favorite pillow (the ending of 'Dance Myself To Sleep', as Bert and his bed are taken out of the room by the sheep)
Used my favorite chair
(E&B; at the movies, a woman with a huge hat seated in front of Bert so he can't see)
When you're gone I miss you
(Bert sits up in bed and Ernie's bed is empty)
And I'm happy when you're here
(Ernie pulls off Bert's nose and puts it on the clay statue bust of Bert's head he's made)
And there's an arm around the shoulder
(the end shot from 'But I Like You', Ernie's arm around Bert's shoulder, their heads touching ear-to-ear)
And a friend I'll always keep
(Ernie brings a live puppy to Bert in their apartment, probably the 'Godzilla, the wonder dog' skit)
And nights so full of talking
(Bert's shaking like crazy in their bedroom as Ernie yacks away)
We never fell asleep
(under the stars during a camping trip)
Each day has its memories
And when the day is through
Things that I remember
Are the things I did with you
Ernie: (spoken) Yeah, I know what you mean, Bert.
Both (sung): Things that I remember
Are the things I did with you
(spoken as they each snuggle into their beds)
Bert: Goodnight, Ernie.
Ernie: Goodnight, Bert.
No parking
No biking
No swimming
No hiking
No driving too fast or slow
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is....
No camping
No cooking
No laughing
No looking
No stopping
No place to go
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
How can just one word, just two letters
Keep so much from getting done?
We'd be worse off without it
No doubt about it
Stand up and shout it
'No' 's no fun!
No talking
No teasing
No rhyming
No reason
No hiding from 'n' and 'o'
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
And the word is no (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
(spoken)
Father: (to Mother) How's the packing going dear?
Mother: Just about done.
Father: Oh good. (to Jimmy) Well Jimmy, tomorrow's the big day. We're moving to a new house.
Jimmy: I don't wanna move. Everything's going to change, and I want things to stay just the way they are.
Mother: Dear, now we understand how you feel but everything's gonna be just fine, you'll see.
Jimmy: Sure...
Mother: Oh, try to get some sleep, honey. (Father turns out light) Good night.
Jimmy: 'Night Mom.
Father: Good night, Jimmy.
Jimmy: 'Night Dad.
Hoots: (pausing by window) Yo Bunky!
Jimmy: Huh?
Hoots: You say you're feelin' bad because you have to move? Gonna have a new room and you're gonna miss your old room?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Hoots: And you're not gonna know anybody, and you're gonna have to make all new friends, and you're gonna miss all your old friends? Is that what's troubling you, Bunky?
Jimmy: Jimmy.
Hoots: Is that what's troubling you, Bunky ... I mean, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Hoots: Well you can stop worrying. Just remember -
(sung)
Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
Your caterpillar's all wrapped up
And he won't tell you why
Inside his sack he's changing
Soon he'll be a butterfly
And you know it doesn't matter
If you lost your pollywogs
They really didn't disappear
They all changed into frogs!
Hey! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
Sing it! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
Yeah, not much stays just like it was
As that old clock keeps tickin'
For every little egg you lose
You could get back a chicken!
And if you plant an acorn
And wait a year or three
Then turn around and look again
You just may find a tree!
Hey! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
Sing it! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
The seasons keep on changing too
The summer turns to fall
No more swimming, no more picnics
But we get to play football!
Hey! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new
Everybody! Things are always changing
So don't be sad and blue
Change can make you happy
'Cause it brings you somethin' new!
Hey!
(spoken)
Hoots: So how you feeling?
Jimmy: Great, Bunky!
Hoots: That's Hoots. (he leaves)
Mother: (in hall) Are you all right, dear?
Jimmy: Yes, Mom.
Father: Are you sure, son?
Jimmy: Yes! Now please let me get to sleep, we're moving tomorrow!

Count: What's wrong, my pets? Why are you angry?
Bat #1: 'Cause ... 'cause we want our rights! We're going on strike! (Loud agreement from other bats.)
Count: On strike? Ah, but what is wrong?
Bat #1: 'Cause ... 'cause we never have any fun! We never get to count!
Bat #2: It's our turn to count!
Other Bats: Yeah, it's our turn to count! It's our turn to count! It's our turn to count! (They keep up the chanting through the next speech.)
Count (to himself): Ah, I have an idea. (Aloud, to bats) Okay, my darlings! You will get to count! (Bats cheer.) You will get to count all the Counts in the room, and then, I, the Count, will count all the bats. (Laughs. Bats groan.) You first, my pets!
Bat #1: Wait a minute! What do you mean, count all the Counts? There's only one of you here!
Count: Precisely so! One wonderful Count! (Laughs, and thunder and lightning flash. Bats groan again.) Now it is my turn to count. (Begins counting the bats, who are all complaing aloud.) One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Seven batty bats! (Laughs, and more thunder and lightning flash.) Ah, fooled them again! (Walks off, leaving bats squeaking angrily.)
TRAVELLER (Jim Henson):
I started on a journey just about a year ago,
To a little town called 'Morrow' in the state of Ohio
I'd never been much of a traveller and I really didn't know,
That Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
For tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guide
Said I, 'My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return,
No later than tomorrow for I haven't time to burn.'
Said he to me,
CLERK:
Now let me see if I have heard you right
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today,
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way
If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see,
You could have gone to Morrow and returned today at 3
For the train today to Morrow if the schedule is right,
Today it gets to Morrow and returns tomorrow night.
TRAVELLER:
Said I, 'I'd like to go to Morrow so can I go today,
And get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?'
CLERK:
'Well, well,' I said to him, and I've got no more to say,
'Can you get anywhere tomorrow and get back again today?'
TRAVELLER:
Said I, 'I guess you know it all, but kindly let me say,
How can I get to Morrow if I leave this town today?'
Said he,
CLERK:
You can not go to Morrow anymore today,
For the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
TRAVELLER:
I was so disappointed, I was mad enough to swear
The train had gone to Morrow and it left me standing there
The man was right in telling me,
CLERK:
You are a howling jay
You cannot go to Morrow...
TRAVELLER:
Well I guess in town I'll stay.
FIDDLER (Frank Oz):
I don't get it.
COOL TRIVIA: The song was on one of the best episodes of The Muppet Show, with Rita Moreno as the guest star, and she did a great rendition of Fever with Animal. In fact, her appearance won her an Emmy, making her the only performer in history to have won a Tony, a Grammy, an Emmy, and an Oscar.
Herbert Birdsfoot: The next letter after 'S' is 'T'.
'The Tale of Tom Tattertall Tuttletut.'
Once upon a time, there was a queen who hated the letter 'T'.
Queen: I've never liked the horrid 'tuh-tuh' sound. So I hereby rule that nothing beginning with the letter 'T' will ever allowed in my kingdom.
Herbert Birdsfoot: So the people of the land tore down the towns and their towers, tossing out their trumpets and toys. And pretty soon, there wasn't anything in the kingdom that began with 'T'. Or so they thought, for one day, along came...
Tom: Me. Tom Tattertall Tuttletut. And I've got a truckful of turtles, tea, tuna, toads, teddy bears, and trash.
Queen: What did you say?
Man: Hi, your majesty. Do you want to buy a tuba or a ton of tomatoes?
Queen: Throw this man into the dungeon!
Tom: But why?
Queen: Because those are all 'T' words. And nothing starting with 'T' is allowed in my kingdom.
Tom: Untrue! There's lots of things beginning with 'T' around here.
Queen: Like what?
Tom: Well, for one thing, there's the king over there.
Queen: What about him?
Tom: He's wearing trousers, and that's a terrific 'T' word.
Queen: Uh, well, he always told me they were pants.
Tom: And then there's you, your majesty. You keep talkin' and talkin', tellin' me things by usin' your tongue and your teeth. And those are terrific 'T' words, too!
Queen: Gracious! You're right. There's no way of getting away from the letter 'T'. Tom Tattertall Tuttletut, from now on, 'T' words are welcome in my kingdom.
Tom: Terrific!
Herbert Birdsfoot: So the letter 'T' was restored to the land, and so were the town's towers, the trumpets and the toys, which all goes to prove that you can't get away from the letter 'T'.
Queen: Terrific!
