Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood? |
|
In your neighborhood? |
|
In your neighborhood? |
|
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood? |
|
The people that you meet each day(a blue muppet, I believe, walks onstage)[Bob: Oh, hi there, little fella.][Anything Muppet #1: Hello.][Bob: Hey, listen, know who you could be if I gave you this little hat and this bag to go over your shoulder?][Anything Muppet #1: I could be a laundry man.][Bob: No, not a laundry man.][Anything Muppet #1: How about Santa Claus?][Bob: No no no, not Santa Claus.][Anything Muppet #1: What's wrong with Santa Claus?][Bob: There's nothing wrong with Santa Claus, but...][Anything Muppet #1: Don't you like Christmas?][Bob: Oh, I love Christmas. But you could be the postman.][Anything Muppet #1: A postman, hmmmm ...] |
|
Oh, the postman always brings the mail |
|
Through rain or snow or sleet or hail |
|
I'll work and work the whole day through |
|
To get your letters safe to you |
|
Bob and Anything |
|
Muppet #1:' |
|
Cause a postman is a person in your neighborhood |
|
In your neighborhood |
|
He's in your neighborhood |
|
A postman is a person in your neighborhood |
|
A person that you meet each day[Anything Muppet #1: I'll see you around.][Bob: Okay.](AM#1 leaves, bumped into AM#2 as he enters)[Anything Muppet #2: Hey, watch it. Where ya goin'? To a fire?][Bob: Hey, speaking of a fire.][Anything Muppet #2: Fire! What fire? Help! Help!][Bob: No, there's no fire at all. But do you know who you could be if I gave you this little shiny red hat?][Anything Muppet #2: Yeah, Santa Claus.][Bob: No, not Santa Claus.][Anything Muppet #2: Little Red Riding Hood?][Bob: No, no, no, not Red Riding Hood, you could be a fireman.][Anything Muppet #2: A fireman? Holy smoke!] |
|
Oh, a fireman is brave it's said |
|
His engine is a shiny red |
|
If there's a fire anywhere about |
|
Well, I'll be sure to put it out |
|
Bob and Anything |
|
Muppet #2:' |
|
Cause a fireman is a person in your neighborhood |
|
In your neighborhood |
|
He's in your neighborhood |
|
Anything Muppet #1: |
|
And a postman is a person in your neighborhood |
|
All:Well, they're the people that you meet |
|
When you're walking down the street |
|
They're the people that you meet each day(additional verses from the book "People In My Neighborhood" Volume 7 of "On My Way With Sesame Street")(pic of Cookie Monster dressed in a chef hat and apron behind the counter of a bakery, muching cookies, natch) |
|
The baker is the one who makes |
|
Your bread and rolls and pies and cakes |
|
If you want something sweet to eat, go see |
|
The baker in the bakery(pic of Guy Smiley-like teacher in front of class holding a globe) |
|
A teacher works the whole day through |
|
To teach important things to you |
|
He'll teach you things you won't forget |
|
Like numbers and the alphabet(pic of Herry monster in red-white striped pants just like a barber's pole cutting the hair of Guy Smiley-like muppet) |
|
A barber has a great big chair |
|
You sit in it, he cuts your hair |
|
He'll snip and clip and never rest |
|
Until your haircut looks its best(pic of Prairie Dawn-like muppet driving a bus) |
|
The bus driver drives fast or slow |
|
To take you where you want to go |
|
When you get in and pay your fare |
|
She will drive you anywhere(pic of Telly wearing a dentist's uniform) |
|
A dentist cares for all your teeth |
|
The top ones and the ones beneath |
|
So if you have an aching tooth |
|
He'll fix it quick, and that's the truth(pic of female muppet in a doctor's uniform) |
|
The doctor makes you well real quick |
|
If by chance you're feeling sick |
|
She works and works the whole day long |
|
To help you feel well and strong(pic of blue adult male muppet in grocer's outfit) |
|
The grocer sells the things you eat |
|
Like bread and eggs, cheese and meat |
|
No matter what you're looking for |
|
You'll find it at the grocery store(pic of Grover working on a shoe with a hammer) |
|
The shoemaker is always there |
|
To take care of the shoes you wear |
|
With his hammer, nails, and glue |
|
He'll fix your shoes as good as new(pic of the back of Rodeo Rosie handing over a fringed vest to the drycleaner, a green adult male muppet) |
|
The cleaner is the one who knows |
|
How to clean and press your clothes |
|
He'll take a jacket, suit, or vest |
|
And clean it so you'll look your best(pic of Oscar The Grouch, naturally, driving a garbage truck) |
|
The trash collector works each day |
|
He'll always take your trash away |
|
He drives the biggest truck you've seen |
|
To keep the city streets all clean |
