(Count is playing ominous music on a piano)
Cookie: Hey Count, Count, woah, stop playing
Count: Ahh, Cookie Monster
Cookie: Well, well, well...
Count: That's three wells, ha ha ha
Cookie: Me no know you play piano that good
Count: Of course
Cookie: Oh, do me favor. Look- Me found terrific song-- it all about food! Ya, you play piano and me sing it? Here, ya, good...(Count resumes scary music)
Cookie: No, wait, not like that. Here, like paper say- okay- real jumpy
Count: Ah, very good
Cookie: It all about food
Count: I will count the notes-- 88 wonderful piano notes. Sing it Cookie Monster!
Cookie: Okay...
If me knew you were coming
Me'd have baked a cake (1 cake)
Baked a cake (2 cakes)
Baked a cake (3 cakes)
If me knew you were coming
Me'd have baked a cake (4 cakes)
How'd ya do, how'd ya do, how'd ya do?
(3 how's ya do's)
If you dropped me a letter
Me would hire a band (1 band)
Hire a band (2 bands)
Hire a band (3 bands)
If you dropped me a letter
Me'd have hired a band (4 bands)
And spread the welcome mat for you
(Thank you very much)
Now me don't know where
You came from (over there!)
And me don't know where
You've been (I've been counting)
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in (3 digs)
If me knew you were coming
Me'd would baked a cake (1 cake)
Baked a cake (2 cakes)
Baked a cake (3 cakes)
If me knew you were coming
Me'd have baked a cake (4 cakes)
How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do
(Three more how'd you do's)
Now me don't know where
You come from (I told you, over there)
And me don't know where you been
(Counting, of course)
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in (3 wonderful digs)
If me knew you were coming
Me'd have baked a cake (1 cake)
Baked a cake (that's 2 cakes)
Baked a cake (that's 3)
If me knew you were coming
Me'd have baked a cake (4 cakes)
How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do?
(3 more how'd you do's)
How'd ya do, how'd you do, how'd you do?
(that's 9, that's 12 how'd you do's)
How'd you do, how'd you do, how'd you do?
(Ah, that's 13, 14, 15 how'd you do's)
Cookie: You play the piano so good
Count: Ah, thank you very much
Cookie: Me sing so good, me deserve cookie
Count: Ah, a little dinner music (resumes playing)
