Circles

sung by Cookie Monster (Frank Oz) and Herry Monster (Jerry Nelson)

See the sun up in the sky
Well, it's a circle
See a hula hoop roll by
Well, it's a circle
See the sun up in the sky
See a hula hoop roll by
Round as a fresh baked apple pie
And it's a circle

See a wheel on a roller skate
Well, it's a circle
See a cookie on a plate
Now that's a circle
See a wheel on a roller skate
See this cookie on a plate
Boy, this cookie sure is great
And it's a circle!

See that great big manhole cover
Lying on the ground
It's not a square or a triangle
It's big and flat and round-
And it's a circle

See a great big letter O
Well, it's a circle
See a bouncy ball, you know
That it's a circle
I like that great big letter O
I like that bouncy ball and so
The shape that we like best you know
Well, it's a circle
