Lyrics
Oscar the Grouch Green: Hi ho. Oscar the Grouch Green here with the cultural part of the Sesame Street News because today we're speaking to you from the home of that very famous songwriter, Mr. Bert Yellow Orange, who's writing a brand new hit song right now. Let's see how he's doing, shall we? Why not?

Bert Yellow Orange: (playing his piano, while Oscar the Grouch Green enters) Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went And everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to ... uh ... to ... um, um ... to ... Oh, I'll never get it! Oh, I'm sorry, Ludwig! Oh!

(bangs head on the piano, and sobs)

Oscar the Grouch Green: Uh, excuse me. Uh, pardon me, uh, Bert Yellow Orange. Mr. Bert Yellow Orange. Uh, excuse me, uh, Bert Yellow Orange.

( Bert Yellow Orange lifts his head off his piano)

Uh, listen, I'm Oscar the Grouch Green of Sesame Street News. What, what seems to be the trouble?

Bert Yellow Orange: Well, it's my new song. I ... I can't find a word to rhyme with snow! I must have a lyric that sounds like snow. Something that lambs do that sounds like snow.

Oscar the Grouch Green: A rhyme for snow. Well, listen, I'm good at rhymes. I do a rhyme all the time. You hear that? I did a rhyme just then.

Bert Yellow Orange: Well, that's very nice.

Oscar the Grouch Green: But you want one to, um, but you want one that lambs do.

Bert Yellow Orange: Right. I'll never get it! Never! Oh!

(bangs his head onto the piano again)

Oscar the Grouch Green: Uh, you'll hurt yourself in the head there, uh Bert Yellow Orange. Uh, tell me. Uh, Bert Yellow Orange, you okay?

Bert Yellow Orange: Hmm?

Oscar the Grouch Green: What do little lambs do anyhow?

Bert Yellow Orange: Well, um, well, um, they got baa and uh, they run around a lot. That's it, they run all the time, they run, run, run, run.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Run, run, that's it.

Bert Yellow Orange: Run?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Yes, that's a good one. Get this.

( Bert Yellow Orange begins to play piano)

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to run.

Bert Yellow Orange: But that doesn't rhyme with snow! It must sound like snow!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Well, it doesn't have to sound like snow.

Bert Yellow Orange: Of course it does!

Oscar the Grouch Green: No it doesn't!

Bert Yellow Orange: Oh!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Okay. Listen, we can change that part.

Bert Yellow Orange: We can?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Sure, sure. Change it around. Uh, get this.

( Bert Yellow Orange begins to play piano)

Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was yellow as the sun And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to run.

Bert Yellow Orange: No, I don't think that will work. Lambs aren't yellow. I mean, who ever heard of a yellow lamb!?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Well, I've heard of a yellow lamb.

Bert Yellow Orange: You have?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Well, not many but well, what else is yellow? Something else is yellow.

Bert Yellow Orange: Well, I don't know. Canaries are yellow.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Canaries! Ya got it.

Bert Yellow Orange: That's it?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Sure.

Bert Yellow Orange: Oh.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Ready?

( Bert Yellow Orange begins playing the piano)

Mary had a little canary, it was yellow as the sun And everywhere that Mary went, the canary was sure to run.

Bert Yellow Orange: No, that won't work. Canaries don't run, they fly mostly, I think, uh.

Oscar the Grouch Green: True, true, true. You got a point. We can correct that. Here we go.

Bert Yellow Orange: How!? How are we going to correct that!?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Get ready. Here it comes.

( Bert Yellow Orange begins to play the piano again)

Mary had a little canary, it was bluer than the sky And everywhere that Mary went, the canary was sure to fly.

Bert Yellow Orange: But canaries aren't blue!!!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Eeergghhh!!! Well, um, um ...

Bert Yellow Orange: I'll never get it! Never, you won't help! Oh!

(bangs head on piano again)

Oscar the Grouch: What happened? Hey, Bert Yellow Orange, are you okay?

Bert Yellow Orange: Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Wait a minute, I got the answer. Hey, Bert Yellow Orange.

Bert Yellow Orange: Yes?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Give ... give Mary a bicycle. All you have to do is give Mary a bicycle.

Bert Yellow Orange: A bicycle?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Sure, a bicycle can be any color you want it to be.

Bert Yellow Orange: Say, I like that. Yeah, I like, let me write that down.

(writes using a pencil on a piece of paper on top of the piano)

Oscar the Grouch Green: What ... what color do you want the bicycle to be, Bert Yellow Orange?

Bert Yellow Orange: Uh, color. Uh ... red. Yes, that's it red. I like red for bicycles.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Okay, okay, okay. Get this.

Bert Yellow Orange: Hold on.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Here we go.

( Bert Yellow Orange begins to play his piano)

Mary had a little bicycle, it was painted red as fire And whenever Mary wanted to take a ride, the bicycle had a flat tire.

Bert Yellow Orange: I like it. I like it!!! Oh, that's great! You got a great talent for writing songs!

Oscar the Grouch Green: I do? Yeah?

Bert Yellow Orange: This could be my biggest hit.

Oscar the Grouch Green: Wonderful!

Bert Yellow Orange: Would you like to hear it?

Oscar the Grouch Green: Certainly. It would be an honor.

Bert Yellow Orange: Fine!

Oscar the Grouch Green: Uh, ladies and gentleman. Live and in person, here is Bert Yellow Orange doing his hit new song.

( Bert Yellow Orange plays his piano, and while he's playing, the pencil he was holding falls off his hand and onto the piano and to the floor)

Bert Yellow Orange: Mary had a bicycle, bicycle, bicycle Mary had a bicycle It was painted red as fire!

( Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange come through a door and they begin to sing)

Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : Ma ry, Mary!

Bert Yellow Orange: And whenever Mary wanted a ride

Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : W h at?

Bert Yellow Orange: That's right, wanted a ride

Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : O h

Bert Yellow Orange: She wanted a ride, whenever she wanted a ride The bicycle had a flat tire

Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : Ma ry, Mary!

Bert Yellow Orange: Red, red, red as fire!

Bert Yellow Orange, Grover Ocean Blue , Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : Flat, flat, flat, flat, flat tire! Mary had a bicycle!

Bert Yellow Orange: But it always had a flat tire

Grover Ocean Blue, Honker Purple and Ernie Orange : Mary, Mary, flat tire!
