spoken:



Okay, all you cats 'n kiddies, it's time for a little addition! Can you dig it?! Here we go! Now ...



sung:



Adding is putting together, hmmm

Adding is just what you do

If I have one cookie and you have one cookie

Together they add up to two

One cookie and one cookie makes two cookies

One and one is two

That's two, whoo!



Yeah, outta sight!



Adding is putting together, hmmm

And I'm sure you will agree, yeah

If you have two cookies and I have one cookie

Together they add up to three

Two cookies and one cookie make three cookies

Two and one is three, oh!



Dig it! Hmm-hmm



Adding is putting together, hmmm

Adding is making it more

If you have three cookies, add one more cookie

This time the answer is four

Three cookies and one cookie make four cookies

Three and one is four, whoo!



Cookie Monster: Hey, cookies! Hey, what you doing?



Hippie: Singing about addition.



Cookie Monster: Why you not sing about subtraction?



Hippie: Subtraction?



Cookie Monster: Yeah, sure. I'll show you.



Subtracting is taking away from, hohooh

Subtraction is my kind of fun (now listen, see)

When you have four cookies and I see four cookies

I subtract them and leave you with none (haha, now see this)

Four cookies minus four cookies is no cookies, ha

And now my song is done



And so are the cookies! (sounds of Cookie Monster eating)



Both: Oh yeah!!!!



Hippie: Outta sight!



Cookie Monster: Yeah!
