What Are Kids Called?

[mikealan]

Hello, I remember seeing an old live film on the Season 25 episode of Sesame Street on Noggin yesterday where Joe Raposo sings off-screen about what baby animals are called and it ends with kids doing fun stuff after the different meaning of kids. It was one of the popular SS songs on the first SS record and it really went like this:

Cats have kittens.
Doggies have pups.
Horses have pretty foals,
And sheep have lambs.
Cows have calves,
And I bet you didn't know
That elephants have calves, too.
Lions and leopards have cubs
Which is the proper thing for them to do!

Peacocks have chicks.
Deer have fawn.
Ducks have ducklings,
Often padding tround on lawns
Pigs have pigletts
In case ya didn't know
I've another fact for you,
Goats have kids, and people have kids
Like meeeeeee...
And yooooouuu!

Anybody remember this lovely Joe Raposo film clip?
