Nancy The Nanny Goat

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

Announcer: Nancy the nanny goat lived north of Nantucket.



(A bird pops out of the top of the N.)



Announcer: Nancy had a pet, a nice nightingale.



Nightingale: I am a nightingale!



(Scene changes to inside the N and we find Nancy in

front of a mirror putting on her napkin.)



Announcer: Now, Nancy was a nincompoop because around

her neck she wore a narrow napkin!



(Switch to a close-up of a clock which pulls back to

show a town hall-type building where the clock is located.

A sign on the side of the road in front of the building

says "Nanny goat farm". We see the N roll by.)



Announcer: One night in November at 9:09 she got a

notion to visit a nutty Nanny Goat farm.



(The background is covered with goats and the words

appear in balloons superimposed over them.

The N rolls by with the nightingale being pulled behind it on a leash.)



Announcer: Numbskull! Nitwit!

Nincompoop! Were some of the nasty names the other

nanny goats called her as she sat nibbling on her nails.



(She's now seated on top of the N nibbling away.

The N pulls to a stop next to the granny nanny goat

who is seated in a chair and knitting.)



Announcer: The granny nanny goat noticed Nancy and

said, "Nancy, don't be a ninny! Never nibble on your nails!"



(We now see a letter N shaking.)



Announcer: Nancy became nervous.



(Back to Nancy on top of the N taking off her napkin

and pulling a necklace out of the top of the N.)



Announcer: She took off the narrow napkin and put on a nifty necklace.



(A bird flies by with a sign reading "noodles" dragging behind him.)



Announcer: Instead of nibbling on her nails she started to notice noodles.



(Back to granny nanny goat who stops knitting and looks

over at Nancy offscreen. We then cut to a full shot

of the N as Nancy pops out of various openings and

says the letter N in speech balloons.

The nightingale pops out as well but he's speechless :-)



Announcer: Granny nanny goat noticed Nancy and said,

"Nanny goats who nibble on their nails and notice noodles are nutty!"



(Nancy skids to a stop from running into the scene

and the letter N draws itself next to her.)



Announcer: This story of Nancy the nanny goat was brought

to you by the letter N.
