Merry Christmas from Sesame Street

[Verse 1: Cookie Monster]
On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me
One delicious cookie!
[Verse 2: Hard Head Henry Harris & Cookie Monster]
On the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Two baby frogs
What kind of jive present is that, man?
And one delicious cookie!
[Verse 3: Prairie Dawn, Hard Head Henry Harris & Cookie Monster]
On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Three footballs
Two baby frogs
And one delicious cookie!
Ha ha
[Verse 4: Grover, Prairie Dawn, Hard Head Henry Harris & Cookie Monster]
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Four wooly bears
Three footballs
Two baby frogs
And one delicious cookie!
[Verse 5: Bert, Grover, Prairie Dawn, Hard Head Henry Harris & Cookie Monster]
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Five argyle socks
Ha ha ha ha!

Three footballs
Two baby frogs
And one delicious cookie!
[Verse 6: Ernie, Bert, Grover, Prairie Dawn, Hard Head Henry Harris & Cookie Monster]

Four wooly bears
Three footballs

Ah, I can't remember...
Oh, dear!
Eleven broken buildings
Ten wind-up rabbits
Nine pounds of birdseed
Eight counts a' counting
Seven rusty trashcans
Six rubber duckies
