*crowd cheering*
Big Bird: Hi everybody, it`s me, Big Bird. Well, I`m back and I`ve decided to stand right here and keep barking until Mr. Snuffleupagus finds me. BARK BARK ARF ARF.
Gordon: Ah come on now, Big Bird, hey, Big Bird, cut it out, will ya? There`s no such thing as a Snuffleupagus ...
Mr. Hooper: That`s telling him.
Gordon: He`s just an imaginary friend of yours ...
Big Bird: No, Mr.Snuffleupagus is real, and I`m gonna keep barking `til he comes .. (Big Bird continues barking)
Gordon: All right, Big Bird, if you`re gonna stand there and bark, then we are just going to find this .. imaginary Snuffleupagus .. c`mon everybody .. let`s go ..
Big Bird: Gosh, everybody`s gone .. I`m all alone ... Well I`d better keep barking anyway ..
(Snuffy music starts as Big Bird barks.)
Big Bird: Hey Everybody! Look who`s coming .. it`s Mr.Snuffleupagus! You heard me barking ..
Snuffy: Oh hello, Bird..
Big Bird: You heard me barking..
Snuffy: Yes, oh dear .. look at all those kids .. Hi, kids..
Kids: HI!
Big Bird: Oh, Mr.Snuffleupagus, you`ll finally going to get to meet my other friends, I`ll go get them.. Gordon! Susan!
Snuffy: Well, Bird has gone. I wonder if any of his friends will ever get to see me.
Snuffy sings:
Nobody seems to see me
Though I stand here night and noon
I guess I`ll just go back to my house
And make believe I`m the moon
Nobody seems to hear me
When I try to talk and sing
I guess I`ll just go back to my house
And make believe I`m Spring
Everybody opens up their heart
To the moon and the Spring
And I know why
Everybody opens up their heart
To familiar things
But strange things make them shy
And afraid sometimes
Nobody seems to want me
Though I wish on stars above
I guess I`ll just go back to my house
And make believe I`m love
And make believe I`m love
Everybody opens up their heart
To the moon and the Spring
And I know why
Everybody opens up their heart
To familiar things
But strange things make them shy
And afraid sometimes
Nobody seems to want me
Though I wish on stars above
I guess I`ll just go back to my house
And make believe I`m love
And make believe I`m love
(Kids cheer)
Snuffy: Well, I guess Bird couldn`t find his friends.. I have to go home to my cave now. I`ll see you later, bye bye..
(Snuffy music starts)
Big Bird: Bob! Maria! C`mon c`mon.. Mr.Snuffleupagus is right here!
(Snuffy music fades)
Bob: What is it, Big Bird..
Big Bird: Oh.. he`s gone..
Maria: Of course, he`s gone, Big Bird, he`s only in your imagination..
(Snuffy music fades in, kids scream)
Bob: No, you`ve pulled that trick on us so many times, Big Bird, we`re not going to fall for it anymore, Big Bird..
Big Bird: Oh Bob! Wait! Look look! Look behind you! He`s here! Turn around!
Maria: Oh come on, Big Bird, not again..
Big Bird: Maria.. C`mon.. look look..
(Snuffy music fades)
Bob: No, we`re just not gonna fall for it again, Big Bird..
Big Bird: Ahh.. well don`t bother turning around now.. cause he`s gone.
Bob: I`m sure..
(David, Gordon, Susan and Mr.Hooper come from offstage)
Gordon: What`s going on?
David: Yeah, what`s going on, Big Bird..
Susan: What`s all the commotion?
Big Bird: Everybody missed the Snuffleupagus. (they groan) He was right here and Bob and Maria didn`t even turn around to look at him..
Mr.Hooper: Well.. the Snuffleupagus.. (general agreement between the adults)
Big Bird: Hey, you saw him, didn`t you kids? (Kids cheer)
