Teeny Little Super Guy
Pops right up before your eye
He's no bigger than your thumb

"Snap your fingers, here I come
Now stop me if you've heard this one..."

Don't look in the sky
Don't look in the sea
He's inside of you and me


"Did I ever tell you about the time?..."

You can't tell a hero by his size

"I'm just a Teeny Little Super Guy"

OH...A postman is a person in your neighborhood,
in your neighborhood,
in your neigh...bor...hooood,

OH...A postman is a person in your neighborhood,
he's a person that you meet, when you're walking down the street,
he's a person that you meet each day!!!

I'm rediscovering Sesame Street songs thanks to my son and his favorite CD. I get to hear the "Rubber Ducky" song and a plethora of others daily! :eek5:

My favs:
Cookie Monster (yes, I have a CM Muppet at home)
The Count - every once in a while when I'm counting something out loud, I'll break into my Dracula voice and go "Eight! Eight wonderful bananas <or whater I'm counting>
Grover - I do the voice pretty well and NO he does NOT sound like Yoda. Yoda sounds like Grover!!

I can vouch for that. It's rather disturbing when he's counting the cash float in the back office while you're working with a customer in front, and you both suddenly hear a transylvanian accent drift out from the back.

What he doesn't say is that it's also nearly constant.







Hey Bish, whaddya call a girl that can suck a golf ball through thirty feet of hose?

When I was a kid I used to think Sesame street and Winnie is Poo were stupid shows.

*still thinks that way

I haven't watched or listened to that show for about 6 years, but I can still do the theme song by heart. That's cool.

Hell...I haven't watched "The Friendly Giant" in decades, and can still play that theme song on a recorder. :)

I remember when I was in the early grades in school. Us kids were saying "zee" as the letter "Z" because of the A B C song on sesame street.

I would say that Astro Boy and Mr Roger (and his neighbour hood) have changed my life more than Sesame Street.

Astro boy was such a sad boy. I would traded my legs for his rockets. :(

Alligator King

One two three four five six seven!

Said the Alligator King to his seven sons,
"I'm feelin' mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
Will get to wear my crown."

His first son brought seven oyster pearls
From the bottom of the China Sea.
The second gave him seven statues of girls
With clocks where their stomachs should be.

The third son gave him seven rubies
From the sheikdom down there beneath.
The King thought the rubies were cherries,
And he broke off seven of his teeth.

The fourth son tried to cheer him up
With seven lemon drops.
The King said, "I'm sorry son,
Since that ruby episode,
I just haven't got the chops."

The fifth son brought the King perfume
In seven fancy silver jars;
The King took a whiff, and he broke out in spots
'Cause it smelled like cheap cigars.

The sixth son gave him seven diamond rings
To wear upon his toes.
The King snagged his foot on the royal red rug
And crumpled up his nose.

The seventh son of the Alligator King
Was a thoughtful little whelp.
He said, "Daddy, appears to me
That you could use a little help."
Said the Alligator King to his seventh son,
“My son, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me diamonds or rubies, but
You helped me up when I was down.
Take the crown; it's yours, my son.
I hope you don't mind the dents.
I got it on sale at a discount store-Cost me all of seven cents!"

Seven!

I developed an urge to eat garbage and live in the garbage can under our porch. Needless to say, that lasted about a day before my mom gave me what for...

The count was definitely my favorite... but as a kid, I always got scared of the lightning... yeah, I am a big wuss...

Kermit the Frog rocks. To this day when I hear "Under The Bridge" by the RHCP, I hear it in Kermit's voice. I have no idea why. I'm seeking therapy.
