Sugar and Spice

[lukewarm]

Hi folks,

I was wondering if y'all could help me out here at muppet central. I'm trying to track down a song from sesame street. The song in question is sampled in the classic Hal Ashby "Being There" from 1979 starring Peter Sellers.
The tune is sang by Big Bird and Buffy and the audible part of the lyric goes like this:

Buffy: I love you cause you're sugar and spice
I love you cause you're awfully nice
sugar and spice love
awfully nice love
Big Bird turny and small love
yellow and tall love
Buffy
everyone loves thru all their days
different people, different ways

...

I was wondering if anyone knows what episode this is from or if this ever got recorded to disc, ar any other medium i could trace this song from.

Thanks in advance and good day to y'all !

It is from the episode where Big Bird is jelous of Buffy's baby. It was also used in the 1993 video, "A New Baby In My House" and #4056 of SS.

The song is actually called "Different People, Different Ways."

Here's the version that is on the Sesame Street Lyric Archive(called Different Ways):


Queen: I love her 'cause she's tiny and small
I love you 'cause you came first of all
Tiny and small love
Came first of all love
Mommy will love through all her days
You and your sister, different ways

I love her 'cause she has to be fed
I love you 'cause you make your own bed
She has to be fed love
Make your own bed love
Mommy will love through all her days
You and your sister, different ways

I love her 'cause she's small and helpless
She has to be washed and dressed each day
I love you 'cause you're big and helpful
And you can read, sing and play

I love her 'cause she's sugar and spice
I love you 'cause you're awfully nice
Sugar and spice love
Awfully nice love

Prince Firstly: Tiny and small love
Came first of all love

Queen: Mommy will love through all her days
You and your sister, different ways
Mommy will love through all her days
You and your sister, different ways

Prince Firstly (same time as she sings last line):
Me and my sister, different ways
