Farley Learns To Read Lyrics - Sesame Street

Farley: Same Sound Fround, could you help me out? 

Same Sound Fround: Farley, my man, I'll do what I can. 

Farley: I'm trying to read this word, but I'm not having much luck. 

Same Sound Fround: (?) learning to read. 

(singing) 

I start at the front and I move to the rear. 

And I say each sound out loud and clear. 

I go, "MMMM, AAAA, NNNN!" 

I go, "MMMM, AAAA, NNNN!" 

Then I run the sounds together and smooth 'em out. 

And that's what reading's all about! 

I go, "MMMM, AAAA, NNNN!" 

I go, "MMMM, AAAA, NNNN! 

MMMM, AN 

MMMM, AN, 

MAN!" 

(speaking) 

Okay, I'm done. Now you try one. 

Farley (singing): 

I start at the front and I move to the rear. 

And I say each sound out loud and clear. 

I go, "FFFF, UUUU, NNNN!" 

I go, "FFFF, UUUU, NNNN!" 

Then I run the sounds together and smooth 'em out. 

And that's what reading's all about! 

I go, "FFFF, UUUU, NNNN!" 

I go, "FFFF, UUUU, NNNN!" 

FFFF, UN 

FFFF, UN, 

FUN!" 

(The last part is spoken.) 

Farley: Hey, I did it! It's fun! 

Same Sound Fround: Now, stick with me and I'll take you far, 'cause Same Sound Fround's gonna make you a star! 

Farley: Outta sight! 

Same Sound Fround: I could read all night! (They exit.)
