Herb's Silly Poem Lyrics - Sesame Street

Prairie Dawn: Since "K" is the next letter, Herbert Birdsfoot will now recite his "K" poem. So listen to the words that start with "K-uh". 

Herb: I don't want to. 

Oscar: Why not Herb? 

Herb: Well, because everyone says it's silly. 

All of the other Muppets: Oh no! 

Grover: Oh, Herb, that's not true. 

Herb: Yes, you'll all say it's silly. 

Grover: Herb, we will not now. 

Herb: You won't say it's silly? 

All of the other Muppets: No! 

Herb: Oh, OK 

There once was a king from Kalamazoo 

Who had a kicky kangaroo 

Now the kindly kangaroo named Kay 

Played a keen kazoo both night and day 

'Twas the kind of kazoo that went koo-koo 

Koo-Koo Koo-Koo went Kay's kazoo 

And when the kindly king of Kalamazoo saw Kay the kangaroo's kazoo 

He said right here in Kalamazoo, we'll build a zoo for a kangaroo 

And so when you are passing through 

Stop by and you can listen to 

The Kalamazoo zoo's kangaroo play koo-koo-koo on her kazoo 

Big Bird: I hate to say this Herb, but do you know what? 

Herb: What? 

All of the other Muppets: That's silly!
