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

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

Zoe: Oh, yeah, thanks for the head-wrap!



Erykah: I love your head-wrap.
