Erykah: Hello.
Muppets: Hi.
Erykah: My name is Erykah Badu.
(NOTE: I don`t know the song he`s referring to here, sorry if I mess it up!)
Elmo: Oh, the a-jiggy, jiggy, yee-yo-yee-yo, what ya gonna do, Erykah Badu?
Erykah: That`s me. Hey, come on over, let`s be friends.
Muppets: Well ... hmmm ....
Rosita: Did she say, friends?
Zoe: Yeah, yeah, I think that`s what she said, friends.
Baby Bear: But .. ummmm ... we`ve never been friends with anyone who ... ahhh ... well, who wears what you`re wearing on your head!
Erykah: Well, I`ve never been friends with three furry monsters or a brown baby bear, either.
(voices of concern about this, they have to brainstorm)
Baby Bear: Okay, huddle up, here we go! (the muppets huddle together) What do ya think?
(various voices: She said, friends and .... she`s pretty.)
(they come out of the huddle)
Baby Bear: Alright, so, are you trying to say that you don`t want to be friends with three furry monsters and a brown baby bear?!
Erykah: Awww ... no, that`s not what I`m trying to say. (music starts)
(sung)
Doesn`t matter what you wear
Or what`s in your hair
If you`re three furry monsters
Or a brown baby bear
We`re all friends
(spoken in foreground)
Rosita (to Zoe): Are you thinking what I`m thinking?
Zoe (to Rosita): Yeah, let`s go! (they run off)
Not being blinded by a color
Accepting one another
Like different letters in the alphabet need each other
We all need friends
(Rosita and Zoe return wearing headwraps like Erykah`s)
Rosita and Zoe: Friendship
Talking `bout friendship
Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee
Friendship
Talking `bout friendship
Loooo - laaaa - looooo
Erykah: Now, reaching for a little star
It`s pretty far
Come closer to the earth where your buddies are
To look for a friend
Muppets: Friendship
Talking `bout friendship
Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee
Friendship
Talking `bout friendship
Loooo - laaaa - looooo
Erykah: Friendship

Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee

A friend indeed is a friend we need
Be-da-de-da-day
Hey-oh-hey-a-ohh
Let`s be friends
Hay-ahh-do-be-day
Talking with my friends
Won`t you be my friend
