Lyrics
Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Okay, Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango. You're ready?

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: Sure am, Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum. And I've got my piano all in tuned.

Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Good, because me and my bass are all ready to groove.

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: Oh, good. Then why don't you introduce the song?

Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Oh, okay. (clears throat) Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango 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.

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: Okay, Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum old pardner. Let her rip!

Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: (spoken) Okay, buckaroo Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango. (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

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Felt she had to do everything alone (Yahoo!) Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: 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

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: Felt she had to do everything alone Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : She said, "I don't need no help, I can do it by myself" Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: (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!"

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : 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's Banana Bubble Gum: Go, Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango!

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: 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's Banana Bubble Gum: Wow! ) So be sure you learned a lesson From that old girl, Lonesome Joan ( Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: What's that? ) When you're trying for the first time, You don't have to try alone

Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : Oh, Lonesome Joan, Lonesome Joan You don't have to do everything alone Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango: You can use a little help Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Don't have to do it by yourself Abby Cadabby's Magical Mango and Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum : Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan Oh, Lonesome, Lonesome Joan

Big Bird's Banana Bubble Gum: Yippie tie yie, pardners!
