Lyrics
Oscar the Grouch Green: Ernie Orange, could you help me with something?

Ernie Orange: Oscar the Grouch Green, my man. I'll do what I can.

Oscar the Grouch Green: I'm trying to read this word, but I'm not having much luck.

Ernie Orange: (spoken) Now listen up, Oscar the Grouch Green, here's all you need for the town room basics of learning to read. (singing) You start at the front and you move to the rear. You say each sound out loud and clear. You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". And then you run the sounds together and smooth them out and that's what reading is all about. You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". Yeah! You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". Yeah! You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn". You go "Mmmm aaa nnnn", "Mmmm aaa nnnn", "Mmmm aaa nnnn", "man", "man!" Yeah! (spoken) Okay, I'm done. Now you try one.

Oscar the Grouch Green: I start at the front and I move to the rear. And I say each sound out loud and clear. I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." Then I run the sounds together and smooth them out and that's what reading is all about. I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn." I go "ffff uuuu nnnn", "ffff uuuu nnnn", "ffff uuuu nnnn", "fun", "fun", "fun". I did it! It's fun!

Ernie Orange: Stick with me and I'll take you far because Ernie Orange is gonna make you a star!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Outta sight!

Ernie Orange: I could read all night!
