Lyrics
Cookie Monster's Blue Book: (spoken) Hello there. It is me, your old pal, Cookie Monster's Blue Book and I'm going to tell you about some special things in my neighborhood that almost nobody knows about except me. Yeah, they are almost like little secrets I have about my neighborhood. For instance, there is one swing in the playground that is a very special swing because when you swing on it, it makes a very special squeak and it's the only swing that squeaks just like that. And then there also is the bus stop sign down the street that has a special scratch on it right above the letter "B". And did you ever noticed that every step or two there is a crack in the sidewalk? Well, I noticed. And I know something special about those cracks in the sidewalk. I know that... (singing) ...it's just thirty-two cracks in the sidewalk from the end of the block. To the place that I called home. It's just fourteen steps from the hydrant on the street to the friendly place where I read and sleep and eat. (sigh) So whenever I leave my neighborhood, it's sure nice to know That wherever I may roam when I see my favorite mailbox on the corner it's just thirty-two cracks in the sidewalk to my home. (spoken) (sigh) There are so many things in your neighborhood that you're almost like, you know, friends of mine. There's my favorite bench in the park. Mmm hmmm. And the bus stop sign and my own special favorite tree that I sit under. Oh, and the houses where all my friends live. (singing) So whenever I leave my neighborhood, it's sure nice to know That wherever I may roam when I see my favorite mailbox on the corner it's just thirty-two cracks in the sidewalk to my home.
