Sesame Street – Big Bird Can’t Fly

Sesame Street – Big Bird Can’t Fly

Spoken:

Lead Squirrel: Now we’re gonna sing a song for you, about a bird we all know who doesn’t fly. Right girls?

Other Squirrels: Right!

Sung:

Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

Big Bird: I don’t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn’t fly

Big Bird: I don’t fly, I just walk on by

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

He can hop

And he can skip right to the Fix-It Shop

He likes to roller-skate

But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just can’t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

He can waddle with the best

And he can leap-frog right to his nest

He walks backwards easy as pie

But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just don’t fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

He knows how to chase

He comes first in a three-legged race

He’ll even jitter-bug

But, I don’t know why, he just don’t fly

I don’t know why

He just don’t fly

Big Bird doesn’t fly

No, no

Big Bird doesn’t fly

Spoken: You’re in great voice today, girls!

So, Big Bird, tell us, why don’t you fly?

Others: Yeah, why?

Big Bird: I just haven’t learned yet. But, you know, I’ve heard that some squirrels can fly.

Squirrelles: Really? Let’s try it, girls! A-one, a-two, a-three … (they jump up, trying to fly, then fall to the ground, giggling)

Big Bird: Must be some other kind of squirrel. Are you okay, girls?

Squirrelles: Yeah! We’re fine!
