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?
