C is for Cookie
On Sesame Street,where the cookies crumble,
Cookie Monster sings,his voice a humble
Five-note wonder,a simple song,
Where cookies and melodies belong.
“C is for cookie,” that's good enough for me,
Five little notes in a cookie melody.
A monster's voice,deep and true,
Singing the blues,‘bout cookies too.
No ballads here,just crunchy treats,
On the stage,he feels the beats.
Grover might join,a duet they’d try,
Sounds like a cookie-filled battle cry.
Bill Sherman laughs,says it's quite a show,
With growls and gargles,the tunes they flow.
“Arrggh” they sing,not always on key,
But in Cookie’s world,it's perfect harmony.
“C is for cookie,” that's good enough for me,
Five little notes in a cookie melody.
A monster's voice,deep and true,
Singing the blues,‘bout cookies too.
So if you wander down Sesame Street,
And a singing monster you happen to meet.
Remember it’s Cookie,with his charming range,
Five notes of joy,and none would change.
“C is for cookie,” that's good enough for me,
Five little notes in a cookie melody.
A monster's voice,deep and true,
Singing the blues,‘bout cookies too.
Bill Sherman laughs,says it's quite a show,
With growls and gargles,the tunes they flow.

But in Cookie’s world,it's perfect harmony.

Five little notes in a cookie melody.
A monster's voice,deep and true,
Singing the blues,‘bout cookies too.
So if you wander down Sesame Street,
And a singing monster you happen to meet.
Remember it’s Cookie,with his charming range,
Five notes of joy,and none would change.
“C is for cookie,” that's good enough for me,
Five little notes in a cookie melody.
A monster's voice,deep and true,
Singing the blues,‘bout cookies too.
