classic 1973 skit with Kermit (Jim Henson) and Joey (a kid)
Kermit: Can you sing the alphabet?
Joey: Yes, yes, I could.
Kermit: Let’s hear you sing the alphabet.
Joey: (letters appear above them as she sings the alphabet)
A, B, C, D, E, F, G ... Cookie Monster!
(Cookie Monster picture appears above them, she laughs)
Kermit: (not amused) You’re not singing the alphabet!
(Kermit and Joey start singing the alphabet together)
Kermit & Joey:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G
H, I, J, K
L, M, N, O, P
Q, R ...
Joey: Cookie Monster! (laughs again)
Kermit: Cookie Monster isn’t a letter of the alphabet. It goes ...
(They continue singing the alphabet)
Kermit & Joey:
Q, R, S
T, U, V ...
Joey: T, U, Cookie Monster! (laughs again)
Kermit: I think, I think you’re just teasing me.
(They still didn’t finish the alphabet yet)
Kermit & Joey:
W, X, Y, and Z
Now I know my ABC’s …
Joey: Next time Cookie Monster! (laughs again)
Kermit: Next time Cookie Monster can do it with you. I’m leaving. Whew! (Walks off)
Joey: (Hopefully) I love you.
Kermit: (Walking back) I love you, too.
Joey: Oh! Thanks! (kisses Kermit’s head)
