Born To Add/Written by Christopher Cerf sung by Bruce Stringbean (Christopher Cerf) & The S Street Band
to tune of Bruuuuuce Springsteen's "Born To Run" well, just in case you didn't catch on ;-)
When we're roamin' the streets and we see one car
We always add one and make it two
It don't matter why we like to add one and one
Out here it's the thing to do
Now some say that screaming one plus one all night
Means we're thoughtless, cruel, and bad
But kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add
Yes, sir, we were!
As we keep on wandering we see two trash cans
So we add one and make it three
There's a lot of us adders on the Jersey Shore
Out here it's the thing to be
Yeah, we'll keep on shoutin' one plus two
Even though it makes 'em mad
'Cuz kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add
Baby, we were born to add!
One and two and three police persons spring out of the shadows
Down the corner comes one more
And we scream into that city night
Three plus one makes four!
Well, they seemed to think we're disturbin' the peace
But we won't let 'em make us sad
'Cuz kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add
Baby, we were born to add!
Baby, we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby, we were born to add!
Add! Add! Add!
Baby, we were born to add!
Oh, add
Baby, we were born to add!
Baby, we were born to add!
Add, add, add, add, add!

(I Can't Get No) Cooperation sung by Mick Swagger (Christopher Cerf) & The Sesame Street Cobble Stones
parody of The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", of course!
Well, I’m sitting on a seasaw seat
Thinking seasawing would be neat
And I can’t find a friend to sit on the other side
Yes, I tried it all alone
But I crashed down like a stone
Couldn’t get no cooperation if I tried
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no, no, no cooperation
If I tried, if I tried
Well, I’m dying to jump rope
But I’ve just about lost hope
And I’m so mad, I’m just fit to be tied
'Cause I can’t find a friend
To pick up the other end
Couldn’t get no cooperation if I tried
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no, no, no cooperation
If I tried, if I tried
Well, I’m in an awful fit
'Cause I’m dying to be It
And I can’t find anyone to go and hide
Every time I start to play
Everyone just runs away
Couldn’t get no cooperation if I tried
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no cooperation
No, no, no, no, no cooperation
If I tried, if I tried

The Limerick Song (Come On and Sing Along with Me) spoken parts are in brackets
(Ernie interrupts Bert's bath and somehow manages to drag a piano into the bathroom. So many people show up for a singalong that poor Bert can't get to the closet for a towel. This is sung in the crowded bathroom and is the follow-up to Oscar Don't Allow)
Susan: Don't shout grouchy Oscar don't shout
That's not what our singing's about
So if you can't take
The noise that we make
Go back to your trashcan and pout
All: Ooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee
Come on and sing-along with me
Bob: (Hey, I got one!)
Various voices urge him to share
Bob: A furry blue monster named Herry
Herry: (Hey, that's me!)
Bob: When asked "Are you strong?" replied "Very!"
Then just for a laugh
He tore 3 cars in half
Now I ask "Is that necessary?"
All: Oooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee
Come on and sing-along with me
The Count: (Oh, I have one!)
85 bats hanging in the steeple
One bat flies in through the door
That makes 86 ...
(splash sound)
Ernie: (Sorry everybody, I have one!)
Bert: (Do you have a towel, Ernie?)
Ernie: (No, Bert, I have a verse.)
Bert: (Oh no.)
Ernie: (It goes like this.)
You all know our good buddy Bert
Bert: (oh no)
Ernie: Whose feelings are easily hurt
When his friends all play dressup, ol' Bert has to fess up
Bert: Yeah, I'm always the one in the skirt ...( and I don't like it...)
All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee
Come on and sing-along with me
Bert: (Excuse me, I have one.) (various voices urge him on) (Yeah, you'll love it, it's really groovy. Ahem.)
There once was a man named McDowell
Who planted a tree with a trowel
Then he got in a shower, where he stayed for an hour
and said - "SOMEBODY GIVE ME A TOWEL!!"
All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee

Come on and sing-along with me
At the end of the original record is heard this cute exchange:
Ernie: Okay, you can turn it over now.
Herry: Sure thing, Ernie.
(sound of piano crashing)
Ernie: Herry! Not the piano! The record! Turn over the record!
Herry (meekly): Sorry.

Frazzle!
There's a monster name of Frazzle
Who's a good friend of mine
He looks ferocious, but he's really fine
Go up and ask him for his autograph
He'd be so happy that he'd start to laugh
He goes Argh! That's how he laughs
He goes Argh! That means he's glad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The greatest time that he ever had
Now you know my buddy Frazzle
He's got fangs on his jaws
His fur is orange, and he's got these claws
He looks so mean that he could scare a crowd
But if you tickle him he laughs out loud
He goes Argh! That's how he laughs
He goes Argh! That means he's glad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The greatest time that he ever had
Mr. Frazzle has emotions like the rest of us do
Sometimes he feels low down and ugly, too
And then the tears begin to fill his eyes
It's so pathetic when a monster cries
He goes Argh! That's how he cries
He goes Argh! That means he's sad
He goes Argh! That means he's having
The lowest time that he ever had
Argh! That means he's hungry
Argh! That means he's hot
Argh! That means he's sleepy
Argh! That means he's not
Argh! That means yes
Argh! That means no
Argh! Means thank you for the dinner
But, it's getting very late and I really must go
Argh!

Free To Be ... You And Me sung by The New Seekers
from "Free To Be ... You And Me"
The band consisted of Eve Graham, Lyn Paul, Marty Kristian, Peter Doyle, and Paul Layton.
I'm not sure which person sings which line so they're identified as Woman or Man (for now).
Woman:
There's a land that I see
Where the children are free
And I see it ain't far
To this land from where we are
Take my hand, come with me
Where the children are free!
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll live ...
All: In a land where the river runs free!
In a land through the green country! In a land to a shining sea!
Woman:
And you and me are free to be you and me
I see a land bright and clear
And the time's comin' near
When we'll live in this land
You and me, hand in hand!
Take my hand, come along!
Lend your voice to my song!
Come along, take my hand, sing a song ...
All:
For a land where the river runs free!
For a land through the green country!
For a land to a shining sea!
For a land where the horses run free!
Woman:
And you and me are free to be you and me
Every boy in this land grows to be his own man
Man: In this land, every girl grows to be her own woman
All:
Take my hand, come with me Where the children are free!
Come with me, take my hand, and we'll run ... To a land where the river runs free!
To a land through the green country! To a land to a shining sea!
To a land where the horses run free!
To a land where the children are free!
Woman: And you and me are free to be ...
Man: And you and me are free to be ...
Woman : And you and me are free to be you and me (Music ends, then starts up after a pause)
All:
You and me ...! You and me ...! You and me ...! Ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ....!
Woman: And you and me are free to be you and me

You think you can munch
Brother, you're out to lunch
Compared with - COOKIE!
Did someone say "Lunch?" /You can give him the sun
You can give him the moon
But me trade them both in /For just one big macaroon! / Let's hear it! COOKIE!
Yeah for Cookie!
Don't try to outeat him
There's no way you can beat him
Not COOKIE!
Me the greatest!
Yah, it really a trip
To watch me chew choc'late chip
You ready?
We're ready! Here me go!
(gobbling noises) COOKIE! COOKIE!

Darn tootin', but you know me would
Get a lot more pleasure from Fig Newton!

Yeah! More cookies!
Where cookies?

Whose appetite is completely outta sight? COOKIE's!
Have mercy!
You say you can eat? / The guarantee can't compete . With COOKIE!
Bones (Inside Of You)
sung by The Count (Jerry Nelson)
Feel your fingers, feel your toes
Grab your elbow, pinch your nose
Touch your ankle, tap your knees
Give your chin a little squeeze
You'll feel something hard inside
And it can not be denied
What you feel seems hard as stone
And it's something called the bone
Oh there are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
Bones, bones, bones, bones
More than just a few
So many you can count them
Amazing but it's true
There are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
There are bones inside your hand
In your feet to help you stand
In your elbow and your heel
Lots of lovely bones to feel
Though your bones are hard to see
Still you have them just like me
They are not outside but in
Yes they're underneath your skin
Yes there are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
Bones, bones, bones, bones
More than just a few
So many you can count them
Amazing but it's true
There are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
(spoken)
Now, when you put all those bones together, you may come up with something we call a skeleton. Remember that word, it's one of my favourites. And now, boys and girls, I will tell you what happens if you didn't have any bones ...
(sung)
If you had no bones at all
Then you couldn't run or crawl
And you couldn't stand up straight
Or eat dinner off your plate
Without bones we'd all fall down
Just like puddles on the ground
Just like melted ice-cream cones
If we didn't have our bones
Yes, there are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
Bones, bones, bones, bones
More than just a few
So many you can count them
Amazing but it's true
There are bones, bones, bones, bones
Bones inside of you
(spoken)
And now the most fun of all, I will count all the bones I can think of. The toe bone, that's one, the heel bone is two, the ankle bone is three, shin bone, four, knee bone, five, hip bone, six, rib bones that's seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven .... I love counting bones, ah, ah, ah, ah!
ME so hungry! What me do?
Oh, me know!
Me eat this record!
(ferocious munching sounds)
DELICIOUS!
The King And I
"Monsterpiece Theatre" skit hosted by
Cookie Monster (Frank Oz) as Alistair Cookie
and starring Grover (Frank Oz)
parody of The King And I
Alistair: Good evening. Alistair Cookie here. Welcome to "Monsterpiece Theatre".
Tonight me present to you "The King and I". It about a king, and the letter I.
That where they get the title from. Very good title.
And now! Sit back and enjoy "The King and I".
(Cut to a palace room when Grover is king and a letter I approaches him)
Grover: Oh, you lower-case letter I. You are so cute with your little dot.
And you begin words I love like igloo, ink, ice cream and so on etc, etc, etc.
And because of this, your loveable and cute king wishes to dance with you.
(Music starts and Grover wraps his arms around the letter I and they dance up a storm.)
Yes! Yes! Do it!
(Cut to Alistair's room)
Alistair: And so end "The King and I". Short but so what? This Alistair Cookie saying bye-bye from "Monsterpiece Theatre".
