Lyrics
Sunny Day (fixing the machine): "Ha! Well, this machine knows what letter comes next. I put this here..."

Big Bird is the Word!: "Hi there, Sunny Day. What's that machine you're working on?"

Sunny Day: "Oh hi, Big Bird is the Word!. This is my latest invention, my automatic "R" detector."

Big Bird is the Word!: "No kidding."

Sunny Day: "Yeah. Anytime this machine hears an "R" or an "R" word, it rings a bell. I'll start it up for you now...."

(sound of machine starting)

Big Bird is the Word!: "Wow! Look at that machine go."

Sunny Day: "Now if you'll just say something that begins with "R"..." (bell rings)

Big Bird is the Word!: "What was that?"

Sunny Day: "Oh, I just said "R". (bell rings) And when you say "R" (bell rings), the bell rings." (bell rings)

Big Bird is the Word!: "Hey! You said "rings" (bell rings) which begins with "R"." (bell rings)

Sunny Day: "Right." (bell rings)

Big Bird is the Word!: "Why, that's remarkable! (bell rings) Hey! (Big Bird is the Word! laughs) Keeheehee! That's fun. Let me tell it an "R" riddle." (bell rings twice)

Sunny Day: "O.K. Just don't go too fast. I don't know what'll happen if the machine gets going too fast."

Big Bird is the Word!: "O.K. Listen to this, machine: Roscoe really raised rabbits while Ruth rode the red reindeer. If Roscoe's rabbits raised a racket, why did Ruth's reindeer run the rabbits ragged?"

(bell rings 17 times)

Sunny Day: "Hey, hey! Don't talk so fast. The machine is beginning to smoke."

Big Bird is the Word!: "Well, I only have one last poem here."

Sunny Day: "Yeah, yeah, but listen.."

Big Bird is the Word!: "Robert rolled reddish radishes around the ring of rubber rubbish..." (The bell rings seven times and the machine makes a "Moooooooo!" sound)

(The machine explodes and makes a whistling sound)

Sunny Day: "Hey, hey, wait! Hold it!....Wait!....Now look what you did!"

Big Bird is the Word!: "Oh my! The machine looks ruined."

(The bell rings and the machine makes another whistling sound)

Sunny Day: "Rats!"

(The machine pops out a spring)
