Was this true?

Hey, hey, hey! Do you remember how the old letter E segment went? It would weird if this went like:

I was dreaming
Dreaming of me
Eating a peach
Looking for my eagle
Chasing a beagle
To the princess on her knees
Under a tree
By the beach
She was just looking for her very own Easter egg
While dreaming about eating ice cream
In the Land of Steam
Suddenly a baby seal
Just tickled her heel
So she let out a squeal
And the ending of my dream has come to see
The eagle and me
Flying east along with the Easter egg
Over the beautiful evening sea
Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee!
(long pause)
E!

Get it?

I thik this is it:

E, E
See me
Eating a peach
Sitting on my eagle
chasing a beagle
to the queen on her knees under a tree by the sea
she was looking for her easter egg
Having a dream about eating ice cream
in the land of steam
when a baby seal tickled her heel
she let out a squeal
And woke from her dreams in time to see
the eagle and me flying away with the easter egg
over the evening sea
he he he
e,e

Does that help?

Yep! I think this is right!! The whole script is on Tiny Dancer's Sesame Street Lyrics Archive. It was correct when I remember watching the premeire episode of Sesame Street at the Museum of Television & Radio.

The Sesame Street Unpaved book never showed this E segment. How 'bout if the SSU book version went like...

I was dreaming
Dreaming of me
Eating a peach
Looking for my eagle
Chasing a beagle
To the princess on her knees
Under a tree
By the beach
She was just looking for her very own Easter egg
While dreaming about eating ice cream
In the Land of Steam
Suddenly, a baby seal
Just tickled her heel
So she let out a squeal
And the ending of my dream has come to see
The eagle and me
Flying east along with the Easter egg
Over the beautiful evening sea
Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee!
(long pause)
E!
