Sesame Mambo No. 5 (song outline)

[muppet maniac]

Here's my first attempt at writing a song outline:

1! 2! 3! 4! 5!
Come on everybody in the room let’s all sing a song of 5
Roosevelt Franklin what are you going to do?
The boys say they were in the schoolyard with me and Julio
But one of these things just isn’t like the others


You can clean almost anything
I feel like I wanna do the pigeon
I love Trash
Anything dirty, dingy, and dusty
And as C is for cookie
That’s still good enough for me

So what can I do?
Nasty Dan is the meanest man around
Rubber Duckie is the only one for me
ABCDEFGHI just keeps getting weirder
Every time the people in my ‘hood say
“A little bit at the beginning”

A little bit of Bert and Ernie all my life
A little bit of Big Bird by my side
A little bit of Oscar’s all I need
A little bit of Grover’s what I see
A little bit of Cookie munching away
A little bit of Count von Count 3-2-1
A little bit of Snuffleupagus now he’s gone
A little bit of “U” REALLY got a hold on me

A-la peanut butter sandwiches!

Jump UP and DOWN
And moving all around
Run around to the NEAR
Run around to the FAR
Pat your tummy just like that
Rub it all day long
SING, sing a song
SING, sing out loud
Honk your nose once
Honk your nose twice
Sounds like this kid’s wondering
“What’s the name of that Song?”

A little bit of Smiley what a Guy
A little bit of Herry he’s too shy
A little bit of Sherlock’s all I need
A little bit of Prairie’s what I see
A little bit of Sam the Robot in the sun
A little bit of Betty “Who are you?” Lou
A little bit of Don Music in the night
Oh when will I EVER get it right?

Hey bud!
Who me?
SHHH!
Mambo No. 5
Rigghhtt


A little bit of Gordon in my life
A little bit of Susan by my side
A little bit of Bob’s all I need
A little bit of Looper (err...I mean Hooper!)
A little bit of David in the sun
A little bit of Maria all night long
A little bit of Luis Fix it please
A little bit of Linda means, “I love you”

Loaf of bread, container of milk
Stick of butter but don’t you forget
‘Cause Billy Jo Jive is on the case
E-E-E-see me eatin’ a peach

12!
