Artist/Band: Sesame Street
Lyrics for Song: If Moon Was Cookie
Lyrics for Album: Dreamytime Songs [1996]



(Cookie monster speaks:) Oh .

. . me love to look out window at night,

see all the pretty stars twinkle-twinkle.

But! you know what me like to look at best of all? The MOON!

It's so big, and round . .

. And . . . you know what moon remind me of?

It remind me of great big delicious--COOKIE!



Imagine, imagine what me do if moon was cookie.

Just imagine . . .



(Sings:)



If moon was cookie, me think me would be--

Happiest monster you ever see!

Me put on a space suit, then up through the night

Me ride in a rocket, to go take a bite . . .



Me take bite from here, me take bite from there,

And pretty soon, me bite everywhere!--

Me eat with both hands, no need fork or spoon,



Me chew it all up, until there no moon . . .



(Cookie monster speaks again:)



Wha happen!? Who turned out the lights? Oh, me know what happen!

Me eat moon, and now there no moonlight!



(Sings again:)



If moon was cookie, it wouldn't be fine;

Because if me ate it, then it wouldn't shine;

Me come to the window, and look up at night,

But no little moonbeams would give me their light . . . !



So me not like to say it, but it clear to me,

It lucky the moon is not--a cookie.
