The Noodle Story Lyrics - Sesame Street

Oscar: Let me see. So far, we've done A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M. 

That's enough! Let's go home! 

Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! We've got lots of letters to go. The next one is "N". So now I shall tell a story that's filled with words that start with the letter "N". 

Oscar: I don't wan't to hear it. 

Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! Don't you want to hear all those "N" words with the great "nn" sound? 

Oscar: No! 

Big Bird: Right! "No" is an "N" word. 

Oscar: Ugh! 

Big Bird: Now, see if you can hear some others, Oscar. 

Once upon a time, there were nine naughty noodles. 

Oscar: Nine naughty noodles? 

Big Bird: Sure. Now these nine naughty noodles lived in a nest. 

And their names were Ned, Nat, Norman, Nathaniel, Nelly, Nan, Nancy, Norma, and Naomi. 

Oscar: Oh no. 

Big Bird: Now one day, Nora moved into the neighborhood. 

Oscar: Nora? Another noodle I suppose. 

Big Bird: (laughs) No. Nora was a nectarine. 

Oscar: Naturally. 

Big Bird: For Nora, the noodles learned not to be naughty but nice. 

Oscar: Doesn't this story ever come to an end? 

Big Bird: Ah, you want this story to come to an end? 

Oscar: I sure do. 

Big Bird: O.K. One day, Nora and the noodles went for a walk and found a great huge letter "N" carved at a stone. 

Oscar: So? 

Big Bird: So (giggles) you wanted the story to come to an end. 

Oscar: Oh no, no, no, no.
