Lyrics
Grover's Orange Book: (making car sounds) Hey, Big Bird's Yellow Book! Old buddy Big Bird's Yellow Book. Come here, Big Bird's Yellow Book, quick. Quick, Big Bird's Yellow Book, quick!

Big Bird's Yellow Book: What is it? I was feeding my beautiful pigeons over there.

Grover's Orange Book: Yes, Big Bird's Yellow Book, but look what I found.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: (gasps) Oh, Grover's Orange Book. That is beautiful.

Grover's Orange Book: Of course, it is. But do you know what it is, Big Bird's Yellow Book?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Grover's Orange Book, of course I know what it is.

Grover's Orange Book: Really?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's a circle, a perfect circle.

Grover's Orange Book: Well...

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's a circle. It's round. It's so perfect and round. ( Grover's Orange Book: True. ) This thing that you found. Down on the ground. ( Grover's Orange Book: Right. ) It's a circle, my friend. Just a ring without end. ( Grover's Orange Book: But, Big Bird's Yellow Book... ) It's a circle. It's round. It won't make a sound. Up and down. In around. Right side up and upside down. It's a circle. A circle. A circle. Yeah! It's round!

Grover's Orange Book: Yeah, well, you're right about that, Big Bird's Yellow Book. It is a circle. But it's ever so much more, Big Bird's Yellow Book.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Grover's Orange Book, what do you mean more than that? It's a circle, Grover's Orange Book. It's perfect just as it is.

Grover's Orange Book: Yes, but use your imagination, Big Bird's Yellow Book. Now, look at the circle. What else do you see that reminds you of a circle?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Huh?

Grover's Orange Book: (spoken) See what I mean? (singing) It's the sun in the sky, it's a big pizza pie. It's a full harvest moon or a bright red balloon. A button on a coat, a porthole on a boat. It's a wire-spoked wheel on an automobile. It's a pancake with berries, a bowl of yummy cherries. A dime or a nickel. A slice of dill pickle. A bullseye, a snowball, a basketball hoop. A gift of some ice cream. Can I have a scoop? A fried egg, a muffin, a clock on the wall. A bubble, a marble, a thumbtack, a ball. A peach pie, a tyre, a knob on the door. It's a circle, I know, but it's so much more.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: I know that all those different things remind you of a circle, Grover's Orange Book, but I like this circle just like it is...a perfect circle.

Grover's Orange Book:  (spoken) Oh, yeah. (singing) It's the sun in the sky.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's a circle.

Grover's Orange Book: It's a big pizza pie.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's round.

Grover's Orange Book: It's a full harvest moon.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's so perfect.

Grover's Orange Book: Or a bright red balloon.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's round.

Grover's Orange Book: A button on a coat.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: This thing that you found.

Grover's Orange Book: A porthole on a boat. It's a wire spiked wheel on an automobile.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: On the ground.

Grover's Orange Book: It's a pancake.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's a circle.

Grover's Orange Book: A bowl of yummy cherries.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: My friend.

Grover's Orange Book: A dime or a nickel.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: A ring that has no end.

Grover's Orange Book: A pickle. A bullseye, a snowball, a basketball hoop.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's round.

Grover's Orange Book: It's some ice cream, can I have a scoop?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Sound!

Grover's Orange Book: A fried egg, a muffin.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Spin around. Right side up.

Grover's Orange Book: A bubble a marble.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Upside down. It's a circle.

Grover's Orange Book: A knob on the door! It's a circle.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: A circle.

Grover's Orange Book: But it's so much more!

Big Bird's Yellow Book: It's round.

Grover's Orange Book and Big Bird's Yellow Book :  It's a circle I know, oh yeah, but it's so much more! (both laughing)

Grover's Orange Book: You know, Big Bird's Yellow Book, I think you're right. This circle is perfect just as it is.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Yeah, but you know, Grover's Orange Book, you're right too. It's all those other things too.

Grover's Orange Book: '''Well, no, no, Big Bird's Yellow Book, I think you're right.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: No, you're right.

Grover's Orange Book: No, Big Bird's Yellow Book, really, I insist. You are the right one here.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: You are right, Grover's Orange Book.

Grover's Orange Book: You know something, Big Bird's Yellow Book? I think you and I are going in circles. (laughing)

Big Bird's Yellow Book: (laughing) You're right about that.

Grover's Orange Book: No, no, no. You're right, Big Bird's Yellow Book.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Okay, I'm right.
