Lyrics
Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin. Zoe Pumpkin.

Zoe Pumpkin: Big Bird Yellow, Big Bird Yellow, I don't want to play with your bottle cap collection. Right.

Big Bird Yellow: Okay, fine. Okay, how about playing with my paperclip collection with me, huh?

Zoe Pumpkin: Uh, Big Bird Yellow, the only thing worse than playing with your bottle cap collection is playing with your paperclip collection.

Big Bird Yellow: But, Zoe Pumpkin, I just want to play with you. I'll tell you what, you like imagination, don't you?

Zoe Pumpkin: Sure.

Big Bird Yellow: Okay, how about playing an imagination game with me?

Zoe Pumpkin: What? What do we imagine, Big Bird Yellow?

Big Bird Yellow: Well, how about we imagine that we're both steaming bowls of hot wonderful oatmeal. Huh? Huh?

Zoe Pumpkin: Uh, Big Bird Yellow, I refuse to be a steaming hot bowl of oatmeal.

Big Bird Yellow: Oh, Zoe Pumpkin, it's--it's no fair, Zoe Pumpkin. Zoe Pumpkin, you know, everything that I like to do you don't. I can't find a single thing to do that I like and that you like.

Zoe Pumpkin: Oh, I--I'm sorry, Big Bird Yellow, but Rubber Duckie and I are going to play something else.

Big Bird Yellow: (sighing) I got this pain that I just can't deal with How I wish I had somebody To go and eat oatmeal with Oh gee, I really need a friend to play with me

I'd give him friendship and affection I'd even let him come and see my paper clip collection Oh gee, I sure could use a friend to play with me

In line he'd gladly stand To watch a marching band Or buy some saddle shoes (laugh) He'd worship argyle socks Collect them by the box He'd help me chase these blues My style would please him More than a smidgeon He'd say, "It's really nifty, Big Bird Yellow The way you dance the pigeon!"

Oh gee, I gotta find a friend to play with me Won't somebody hear my plea? Wanna end this misery I wish I had a friend to play with me Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhhh!!!!

Zoe Pumpkin: Hi, Big Bird Yellow!

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin?

Zoe Pumpkin: Yeah.

Big Bird Yellow: What are you doing here?

Zoe Pumpkin: Well, Rubber Duckie and I were playing Hide and Seek with you, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: But you said you didn't want to play with me.

Zoe Pumpkin: Oh, we didn't want to play with your bottle cap collection or your paperclip collection. But we both like to play Hide and Seek, Big Bird Yellow. And it's your turn to hide, okay?

Big Bird Yellow: Really?

Zoe Pumpkin: Here we go. I'll count.

Big Bird Yellow: Really?

Zoe Pumpkin: 1...

Big Bird Yellow: Oh, boy! (laughing)

Zoe Pumpkin: ...2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Ready or not, here I come.
