Two Trees


Voiceover: We take you now to Kermit the frog with another fast-breaking news story!

Spoken: Hi ho, Kermit the frog of Sesame Street News and today I am in the park meeting some of the birds who live here. And...oh here comes a bird right now, excuse me, I'm Kermit the frog of Sesame Street News, ah, can you tell me, do you live in this park?

Baby Bird: Yes Sir, I live right here.

Kermit: And which tree do you live in?

Baby Bird: Well you see, I live in TWO trees.

Kermit: TWO trees?!

Baby Bird: My Mom lives right in this tree right here, and my Dad lives in that tree way over there.

Kermit: Really?

Baby Bird: Yeah, I'll explain it.

Sung:

Me and Mom we live together in this tree right in the park

Mom Bird: I built our little nest all out of twigs and mud and bark

She feeds me lots of breadcrumbs and she taught me how to fly
And every day together we go way up to the sky

Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me

Kermit: I see and does your father have a nest in his tree?

Now my Daddy's nest is there right in that big old maple tree
Whenever I fly over and he wraps his wings 'round me

Dad: We like to dig for worms and sometimes sing a little song

My Daddy's tree's the other place where I feel I belong

Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me
Mom's tree is over here
Back there is Daddy's tree
They live in different places
But they both love me!

Kermit: Okay, well that's terrific, so are you going home to your Mom now?

Nope.

Kermit: You're going to your Dad's?

Nope.

Voice off-screen: Come on over sweetie!

To my Grandma's, hi Grandma! She lives over there in the bushes!
