Spoken:
Neurotic Man: Oh, no, what do I do now?!

Maria: Hello?

Neurotic Man: Oh, thanks for coming back, I have another problem!

Maria: Another problem?

Neurotic Man: Yeah!

Maria: What is it this time?

Neurotic Man: Look! Everything! It’s all abierto!

Sung:
Can’t get my window to keep out the snow, ’cause it’s abierto (abierto)
Can’t keep warm when the cold wind blows, my coat’s abierto (abierto)
Folks keep arriving, I don’t know whom
All day long they come into my room
They go to the closet and they take my broom, my door’s abierto (abierto)
It’s horrible! Arrrgggh!

Can’t put this book back on the shelf ’cause it’s abierto (abierto)
Can’t chew my food, can’t feed myself, my mouth’s abierto (abierto)
My chickens ran away without a peep
My horse was something I couldn’t keep
The same can be said for my flock of sheep, my barn’s abierto (abierto)
It’s horrible! Can you help me out fellas?
“Abierto” is the word that got me mopin’

Maria: “Abierto” is the Spanish word for “open”

Neurotic Man: My eyes never let me sleep at night, they stay abierto (abierto)
My hamper can’t keep my dirty laundry out of sight ’cause it’s abierto (abierto)
My milk all went sour and my cheese went bad
I lost all the ice cream that I ever had
‘Cause my fridge is abierto and that makes me mad, ’cause it’s abierto (abierto)
Abierto (abierto), I hate abierto (abierto), abierto (abierto), abierto!

Spoken:
Ya see my problem? Everything’s abierto!

Maria: Yes, I can see that, everything is open.

Neurotic Man: Can ya fix it? Huh? Can ya?

Maria: I think I can fix this situation.

Neurotic Man: Oh, good, good, good, you’re a genius!

Maria: Sure. What you need is this … (opens her toolbox and pulls out the word “cerrado”)

Neurotic Man: Cerrado?

Maria: Cerrado! Everything is abierto, which is the Spanish word for “open”, and this is “cerrado”, which is the Spanish word for “closed”. Cerrado! (everything he sang about now closes)

Neurotic Man: Wow, unreal! Cerrado. You’re the best fixer in the whole world.

Maria: Sure, nothing to it. Glad to help.

ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
It’s the most remarkable word I’ve ever seen
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
I wish I knew exactly what I mean
It starts out like an “A” word as anyone can see
But somewhere in the middle it gets awful “QR” to me
ABC-DEF-GHI-JKL-MNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ
If I ever find out just what this word can mean
I’ll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen!

It might be kind of an elephant
Or a funny kind of kazoo
Or strange, exotic turtle
You never see in a zoo
Or maybe a kind of a doggie
Or particular shade of blue
Or maybe a pretty flower
Naah, not with a name like that, Uh uh!

Guy Smiley: Hi, this is Guy Smiley, and this here is Adrian. (Adrian is a cute, orange, lady muppet, he hugs her)

Adrian: (giggle) Hello!

Guy: Adrian starts with the letter A, just like the alphabet. Here’s a song about the way I feel about her.

(Guy and Adrian start walking past a row of alphabet blocks. As he sings, he tosses each block to the ground.)

Guy: (sings) A, you’re adorable
B, you’re so beautiful
C, you’re a cutie full of charms
D, you’re a darling
And E, you’re exciting
And F, you’re a feather in my arms

Adrian: (giggles) A feather-that tickles!

Guy: G, you look good to me
H, you’re so heavenly
I, you’re the one I idolize
J, we’re like Jack and Jill
K, you’re so kissable
L is the love light in your eyes
M, N, O, P, I could go on all day
Q, R, S, T, alphabetically speaking, you’re okay
U made my life complete
V means you’re very sweet
W, X, Y, Z
It’s fun to wander through the alphabet with you
To tell you what you mean to me

(Just then Cookie Monster marches up, demanding–)

Cookie Monster: Where’s my blocks?!

Adrian: EEEEEEKKK!!!!!!

(She runs off, leaving Guy looking very embarassed. As he begins the second half, he starts hurriedly picking up blocks. Each time, Cookie Monster grabs it away and eats it in that ab-ab way of his.)

Guy: (speaks, the tune still playing) Well, here’s A … and B … C … D … and E … and F … Gee! … H …

Cookie Monster: I! Where’s I?

Guy: Here’s I! … and J … and K … and here’s L …. M, N, O, P, I could go on all day–

CM: Do! Do! (ab-ab-ab)

Guy: (hurriedly now) Q, R, S, T,–alphabetically speaking, you’re okay–U! V! W X Y Z! It’s fun to wander through! The alphabet with you! And tell you what you mean to me! (Runs off)

Cookie Monster: (just before he eats the last block) Bye bye!

A song from Kermit, to wish you well
To say I hope you’re feeling absolutely swell
A song from Kermit, to send you cheer
To say I miss you and I wish that you were here
It may sound fairly croaky like it’s not the song for you
But with every note there’s a lump in my throat
So I hope you’re listening to
A song from Kermit
To let you see
I hope we’ll always be as close as we can be
And if you like my song from Kermit
Maybe you’ll like me
La la la dee dee, la la ta dum……..
I hope we’ll always be as close as we can be
And if you like my song from Kermit
Maybe you’ll like me

I was feeling low, I was kinda blue
But that’s all gone since I got something new

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And my new walk suits me fine

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it makes my spirit shine

It’s a little bit of strut and a lot of smooth
And a little bit of bouncing fine
My chin is up, my feet don’t stall
When I walk my walk, I walk real tall

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it shows how good I feel

This little piggy went to the market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy got a whole new walk
And look at these pig feet take me home

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And it shows I’ve got some sense

I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
And I walk with confidence

I got a new way, way to walk
(Walk, walk)
I got a new way to walk
(Walk, walk)

(repeat and fade)

A little bit at the beginning
A little more later on
Watching all the good things grow
That’s how the world goes on
Take a look at the river
Pouring into the bay
And you see all the good things growing better every day

Well, take a look at a baby
Sleeping on his mama?s arm
Plan to love him when he?s small
Will grow him safe and strong
Take a look at the sunshine
Pouring out on the day
And you see all the good things growing better every day
