Five Purple Konkers
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
Sittin' on the shore
One swam away, and then there were four
Four purple konkers
Sitting in a tree (chomp!)
One flew away, and then there were three
Three purple konkers
Playing in some glue
One got stuck, and then there were two
Two purple konkers
Living happily
Thought they'd get married
And then there were... three?
(honk) (honk)
Three purple... no...
Two purple konkers and one yellow honker
Living in harmony
Loving one another for they are family (honk!)
