Lyrics
Grover's Orange Book: Oh, there's my friend, Big Bird's Yellow Book. Hello, Big Bird's Yellow Book! How are you doing?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Okay, I guess. How are you doing?

Grover's Orange Book: How am I doing? Can't you tell just by looking at me?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Hmmm? What do you mean?

Grover's Orange Book: Well, people will show how they feel by what they do and how they look. You want people to know how you're feeling by looking at you?

Big Bird's Yellow Book: I suppose so. What do I have to do?

Grover's Orange Book: (spoken) Oh, it's easy. Just listen, and I will tell you. (singing) What do you do when you're feeling happy and you want to show off just how great it feels. Well, do what I do. I say do what I do. Go and do what I do. Just snap your fingers and click your heels.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Snap my fingers? Click my heels? Grover's Orange Book, I'm a snake. Snakes don't have fingers or heels. This doesn't help me at all.

Grover's Orange Book: (spoken) Oh. Oh dear, Big Bird's Yellow Book. I never thought of that. Well, I guess you'll just have to tell people if you're feeling happy. But anyhow... (singing) What do you do when you're feeling sad? You're sorry and blue from your head to your toes.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Toes? What toes?

Grover's Orange Book: Well, do what I do. I say do what I do. Go and do what I do. Just wipe off your tears, and blow your nose.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Blow my nose? What nose? And what am I supposed to wipe the tears off with? I don't have fingers to hold a handkerchief, Grover's Orange Book. I'm getting angry.

Grover's Orange Book: (spoken) Oh, yeah? Angry, huh? (singing) Well, what do you do when you're feeling angry? You're mad on the surface and underneath. Well, do what I do. I say do what I do. Go and do what I do. Just clench your fist and gnash your teeth.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Clench my fists? Gnash my teeth. I don't have fists. And I have fangs, not teeth.

Grover's Orange Book: Oh, oh, all right, all right. So you don't have fists or teeth. You don't have to yell about it, Big Bird's Yellow Book. I'm sure you can find a way to show me how you feel.

Big Bird's Yellow Book: Well, what do I do when I'm feeling mad? I'm burning and ready for a great big battle. Well, here's what I do. I say, here's what I do. Listen, here's what I do. I sharpen my fangs, and I shake my rattle.

Grover's Orange Book: (laughing) Oh, you sharpen your fangs and shake your rattle? What good does that do? Because nobody has fangs or a rattle except...(gasps) except a rattlesnake. (yelps) A rattlesnake, a rat...help, a rattlesnake!

Big Bird's Yellow Book: I guess I showed him. (hisses)
