Lyrics
Big Bird Feather Yellow: Okay, Zoe Zingy Orange. You're ready?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Sure am, Big Bird Feather Yellow. And I've got my piano all in tuned.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Good, because me and my bass are all ready to groove.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, good. Then why don't you introduce the song?

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Oh, okay. (clears throat) Zoe Zingy Orange and I are going to sing a song about a girl who had a little trouble learning to how to do things and this girl's name was Lonesome Joan, which is also the name of our song. (clears throat) Hit it.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Okay, Big Bird Feather Yellow old pardner. Let her rip!

Big Bird Feather Yellow: (spoken) Okay, buckaroo Zoe Zingy Orange. (singing) Let me tell you all a story 'bout a girl named Lonesome Joan When she was three she thought she'd try to tie her shoe Her Momma said, "I'll show you how!" She pushed her Mom aside "I'll do it alone," said Lonesome Joan And her laces stayed untied

Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Big Bird Feather Yellow: Felt she had to do everything alone (Yahoo!) Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Zoe Zingy Orange: Well, she got a little older -- thought she'd learn to read and write Her teacher tried to help her Joan yelled, "Get out of my sight!" So she never learned to write her name or even read a book And all alone she never learned to swim or skate or count or cook

Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Zoe Zingy OrangeL Felt she had to do everything alone Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Big Bird Feather Yellow: (spoken) Here I go! (singing) Well, time went by and Joan grew old as people sometimes will When Joan was 81 years old, she met a girl named Lil Lil said, "Joan, it's just ridiculous the things that you can't do! Joan, you're an 80 year old woman -- Time you learn to tie your shoe!"

Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone You can use a little help Don't have to do it by yourself Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Go, Zoe Zingy Orange!

Zoe Zingy Orange: So Lil taught Joan to read and write and tie her shoe and more And Joan lived to the happy age of a hundred and forty four ( Big Bird Feather Yellow: Wow! ) So be sure you learned a lesson From that old girl, Lonesome Joan ( Big Bird Feather Yellow: What's that? ) When you're trying for the first time, You don't have to try alone

Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone Zoe Zingy Orange: You can use a little help Big Bird Feather Yellow: Don't have to do it by yourself Zoe Zingy Orange and Big Bird Feather Yellow : Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Yippie tie yie, pardners!
