The Name Game Song with Maya Angelou?

[trtlvr67]

I remember Maya Angelou singing a song on Sesame Street. It was a song about names. Not the one where she patty cakes w/ Elmo. I know she says her name is Maya in that one. This one was different.

It said something about a name....yada yada....not the same....da da da....

I'm not sure, but my best bet is it's called"My Name."

I finally found the words but now I am looking for the tune.

I want to use it in my classroom.

I do know how the tune goes. I wish I could sing it for you. If I only had a video camera or microphone, there would be nothing stopping me.

Yeah...I know which one you're talking about.It was first done in the 70s w/David Susan Luis & Bob.
NOW I can't get the song outta my head!
My name is Kathy
It's a fine name
It may not be your name but it's fine just the same.
I stand up tall & say it proudly:
"Kathy is my naaaammeee!"
Well it's my name and I don't want to change it
It's my name and I like it just fine.
It's my name & there ain't no one can take it
Kathy's my name & I'm glad that it's mine"
