Beginning, Middle And An End

Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street

This is the very beginning

This is the once upon a time

Somebody's starting something

These are the opening lines



"Seymour is waking up

He's wearing striped pajamas

He's jumping out of bed all smiles, he yells

'This is the beginning!' "



Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end

And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again

Yes every story has a beginning annnnnnnd....



This is the middle of the story

Here's where we get to the meat

Somebody's up to something

We're on the edge of our seats



"Seymour looks out the window

He waves to Mrs. Fazzini

He catches a ride on a friendly pterodactyl

He shouts



'This must be the middle!' "



Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end

And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again

Yes every story has a beginning, middle annnnnnnd....



This is the end of the story

This is the how it all worked out

Somebody winds up somewhere

This is the what it's all about



"Seymour flys way back in time

He goes in to visit with some cavemen

He runs a very successful frozen yoghurt stand

He says

'It's a happy ending!' "



Yes every story has a beginning, middle and an end

And when it's over we can go back and tell it all again

Yes every story has a beginning, middle annnnnnnd....
