My Triangle Home Lyrics - Sesame Street

(Clementine is standing on a ranch porch, a triangle-bell hanging next to her, as she says...) 

(spoken) 

Clementine: Whenever I see this here triangle-bell, it reminds me of my old home where I grew up, The Triangle Ranch. And it makes me feel like singing, so I will. 

(sung) 

I once had a home 

A triangular home 

With three sides and three corners to boot 

(we now see a lovely triangle-shaped house as she remembers) 

It was straight, it was neat 

And it looked kinda sweet 

Yes, you might even say it was cute 

(Two cowboys join her on the porch) 

All: My triangle home 

Clementine: How I miss it to bits every day 

One corner to eat 

One corner to sleep 

And one corner to sit in and play 

(she walks out to a garden, where we see triangles marked on sticks being tended by more cowboys) 

And out in the yard 

We all worked mighty hard 

A'tending our triangle crop 

We planted the seeds 

We pulled out all the weeds 

(a cowboy pulls out one marked with a rectangle and throws it over his shoulder) 

And watered their small pointy tops 

All: My triangle home 

Clementine: Where the triangles grew all the day 

Just climbing as high 

As an elephant's eye 

In their three-sided triangle way 

(now she's swaying behind a fence with the other cowboys, in front are cows shaped like triangles!) 

When it seems to be there's 

Only circles and squares 

Then I long for my triangle home 

Where out on the range 

Looking just a might strange 

The triangle-doggies did roam 

All: My triangle home 

Where the corners and sides are all free 

Cowboy #1: No shape is so fine 

Cowboy #2: As the one with three lines 

All: In a triangle home, yesiree 

In a triangle home, yessiree 

Yippee! Wooohoooo! 

(spoken) 

Clementine: Oh, well, no sense dreaming about the past, it's time for supper, come and get it everybody! 

(she rings the triangle-bell and the cowboys all come running to the table. They stop and stare at their plates.) 

Cowboy #1: What? Triangle fritters again? 

Cowboy #2: We had this last night! 

Cowboy #1: Don't you know how to fix anything else?! 

Clementine: Oh, quit your grumbling and eat your triangles, they're good for ya. 

(They all grumble and settle in, one says, "Has anybody got any ketchup?")
