(spoken)

Elmo: Oh, hello everybody!

Well, guess what? We're gonna sing a silly song about a silly cow -



Telly: And a silly duck! Ready, cow?



Elmo: Ready, duck!



(they laugh, music starts, they start singing)



Telly: I remember the first word I said

Mom was putting me to bed

And as she kissed me on my brow

I said something I picked up from a cow

I said "MOO!"



Elmo: "Moo?"



Telly: Yes indeed, I said "moo!"



Elmo: Moo, moo!



Telly: Other ducks started gawking

Mom said, "At least you're talking."

Then she said, "Baby, say it loud,

Say it loud, 'cause I feel proud."

I said, "Moo, moo, moo!"



Telly & Elmo: Moo, moo, moo!



Elmo: Elmo remembers the first word he said

Mother Goose was being read

And then as Dad got to the end

Elmo said something he learned from a friend

Elmo said "Quack!"



Telly: "Quack?"



Elmo: Yes indeed, he said "Quack!"



Telly: Quack, quack!



Elmo: Dad felt very lucky

Though his cow spoke like a ducky



Then he said, "Baby, say it loud",

Say it loud, 'cause he feels proud.

Elmo said, "Quack, quack, quack!"



Telly & Elmo: Quack, quack, quack!

I remember the day that we met

We got close as friends could get

And there inside the barnyard shack



Telly: I taught you how to moo



Elmo: Elmo taught you how to quack!

Moo, moo!



Telly: Quack, quack!



Elmo: MOOOOOOOOO!



Telly: Quack quack quack quack quack



Telly & Elmo: Then we danced a little jig

And taught the little pig

And we said, "Baby, say it loud,

Say it loud, 'cause he feels proud."

We said, "Oink, oink, oink!"

Oink, oink, oink!



Telly: We said, "Say it loud!"



Elmo: We said it loud



Telly & Elmo: Say it loud...

'Cause we feel proud!



Elmo: Hey, Duck!



Telly: Yeah, Cow?



Elmo: Let's talk Turkey!



Telly & Elmo: Gobble gobble gobble gobble gobble...
