Friendship Lyrics - Sesame Street

(spoken) 

Erykah: Hello. 

Muppets: Hi. 

Erykah: My name is Erykah Badu. 

(NOTE: I don't know the song he's referring to here, sorry if I mess it up!) 

Elmo: Oh, the "a-jiggy, jiggy, yee-yo-yee-yo, what ya gonna do", Erykah Badu? 

Erykah: That's me. Hey, come on over, let's be friends. 

Muppets: Well ... hmmm .... 

Rosita: Did she say, "friends"? 

Zoe: Yeah, yeah, I think that's what she said, "friends". 

Baby Bear: But .. ummmm ... we've never been friends with anyone who ... ahhh ... well, who wears what you're wearing on your head! 

Erykah: Well, I've never been friends with three furry monsters or a brown baby bear, either. 

(voices of concern about this, they have to brainstorm) 

Baby Bear: Okay, huddle up, here we go! (the muppets huddle together) What do ya think? 

(various voices: "She said, "friends" and .... she's pretty.") 

(they come out of the huddle) 

Baby Bear: Alright, so, are you trying to say that you don't want to be friends with three furry monsters and a brown baby bear?! 

Erykah: Awww ... no, that's not what I'm trying to say. (music starts) 

(sung) 

Doesn't matter what you wear 

Or what's in your hair 

If you're three furry monsters 

Or a brown baby bear 

We're all friends 

(spoken in foreground) 

Rosita (to Zoe): Are you thinking what I'm thinking? 

Zoe (to Rosita): Yeah, let's go! (they run off) 

Not being blinded by a color 

Accepting one another 

Like different letters in the alphabet need each other 

We all need friends 

(Rosita and Zoe return wearing headwraps like Erykah's) 

Rosita and Zoe: Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee 

Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Loooo - laaaa - looooo 

Erykah: Now, reaching for a little star 

It's pretty far 

Come closer to the earth where your buddies are 

To look for a friend 

Muppets: Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee 

Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Loooo - laaaa - looooo 

Erykah: Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee 

Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Loooo - laaaa - looooo 

A friend indeed is a friend we need 

Be-da-de-da-day 

Hey-oh-hey-a-ohh 

Let's be friends 

Hay-ahh-do-be-day 

Talking with my friends 

Won't you be my friend 

Muppets (in background): Friendship 

Talking 'bout friendship 

Friendship 

We're talking 'bout friendship 

Friendship 

We're talking 'bout friendship 

Won't you be my friend 

Friendship 

We're talking 'bout friendship

Won't you be my friend 

Friendship

Won't you be my friend

(spoken) 

Erykah: So, we're friends? 

(voices of agreement all 'round) 

Zoe: Oh, yeah, thanks for the head-wrap! 

Erykah: I love your head-wrap.
