I Can Only Sing The High Part

[abiraniriba]

There's a song from Sesame Street that goes something like this "I can only sing the high part, it's the only part I know, and when I sing the high part this is how I go..." it continues like that for a low and a middle part, and then it puts them together in a harmony. I looked on The Sesame Streets Lyrics Archive site but it wasn't any help. Does anyone have the lyrics and name of this song?

it's called "High, Middle, Low"

the lyrics are on the Sesame Street Lyrics Archive here:

on Sesame Street, it was done by anything muppets (Voiced by Jerry Nelson, Joe Raposo, & Jeff Moss, respectively) rather than Bert, Ernie, & Herbert Birdsfoot, but the lyrics are very close.. I have mp3s of both versions if you'd like them

it should be

It should be. Since I'm a substitute teacher I have to keep the kids extremely engaged in order to keep them from realizing that I've been in the room for 45 minutes and no one has shot a spitball at me (or done something worse). Often I am called on to work for a cluster teacher who goes from class to class and grade to grade teaching on a particular subject. Last Thursday I was drafted in as a music teacher (I had not yet prepared this plan), I have no musical talent whatsoever, nor do I have any true musical training, so I decided to teach on the four basic elements of music. it worked okay and as the day went on I added to it so that by the time the last period came the final class got the best version of it. I got a break from work this week due to the fact that I had put in at subcentral for a day off to go to a parent-teacher conference with my daughter's school, so I figured it was high time to refine and polish off many of the lessons that I've taught from the hip while avoiding troublesome students, most of these have done very well with the few members of the class that actually wanted to learn something, so I knew if I prepared them well everyone would be somewhat interested. Often the regular teacher leaves nothing behind for me to work from so I have to come up with something or I am dead in the most literal sense of the word.
