Lirieke: Sesame Street. Big Bird Can't Fly.

Spoken:
Lead Squirrel: Now we're gonna sing a song for you, about a bird we all know who doesn't fly. Right girls?

Other Squirrels: Right!

Sung:
Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly

Big Bird: I don't fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn't fly

Big Bird: I don't fly, I just walk on by

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly

He can hop
And he can skip right to the Fix-It Shop
He likes to roller-skate
But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just can't fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly

He can waddle with the best
And he can leap-frog right to his nest

He walks backwards easy as pie
But, my, oh my

Big Bird: I just don't fly

Squirrelles: Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly

He knows how to chase
He comes first in a three-legged race
He'll even jitter-bug
But, I don't know why, he just don't fly
I don't know why
He just don't fly
Big Bird doesn't fly
No, no
Big Bird doesn't fly

Spoken: You're in great voice today, girls!
So, Big Bird, tell us, why don't you fly?

Others: Yeah, why?

Big Bird: I just haven't learned yet. But, you know, I've heard that some squirrels can fly.

Squirrelles: Really? Let's try it, girls! A-one, a-two, a-three ... (they jump up, trying to fly, then fall to the ground, giggling)

Big Bird: Must be some other kind of squirrel. Are you okay, girls?

Squirrelles: Yeah! We're fine!
