Beep

Sesame Street · Old School 2 [2010]

Muppet #1 (sung): If it says one, then I go beep.

If it says two, then I go beep beep.

If it says three, then I go beep beep beep.

And that's the way it's done.

Muppet #2 (spoken): Yeah, but what if it says four?

Muppet #1 (sung): I go beep beep beep beep, nothing more.

Muppet #2 (spoken): But what if it says more than four?

Muppet #1 (sung really fast): Then I go

Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep-

(into incomprehension, and screen fills up with circles)

Muppet #2 (spoken): Like what if it says forty-six?

Muppet #1 (sung really fast again):

Then I go Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep-



(into more incomprehension,

and the screen fills up with forty-six circles)

(sung at normal speed)

Now, I used to get confused about my numbers,

Whether it was three or one or four or two.

But now I find my numbers very easy,



'Cause this is what I do ...

If it says one, then I go beep.

If it says two, then I go beep beep.

If it says three, then I go beep beep beep.

And that's the way it's done.

Muppet #2 (spoken): Yeah, but what if it says four?

Muppet #1 (sung): I go beep beep beep beep, nothing more.

Muppet #2 (spoken): So when it says one, you go Beep

(and so on, repeating all the verses)

Muppet #2 (spoken): But what if it says three million,

seven hundred forty-six thousand, nine hundred eighty-two?

Muppet #1 (spoken): That's easy, man.

(sung really fast): Then I go Beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep-

(into still more incomprehension,

and screen fills up with still more circles.

I think this is one of those places where they're different

sizes and colors. I'm not sure what lines come next,

if any. Then, at the end:)

Both: Beep beep beep beep, beep beep beep!
