Sesame Street - Born to Add - Christopher Cerf, lyrics

When we're roamin' the streets and we see one car We always add one and make it two It don't matter why we like to add one and one Out here it's the thing to do Now some say that screaming "one plus one" all night Means we're thoughtless, cruel, and bad But kids like you and me baby, we were born to add Yes, sir, we were! As we keep on wandering we see two trash cans So we add one and make it three There's a lot of us adders on the Jersey Shore Out here it's the thing to be Yeah, we'll keep on shoutin' "one plus two" Even though it makes 'em mad 'Cos kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add That's your fate, baby Take it, Clarice! One and two and Three police persons spring out of the shadows Round the corner comes one more And we scream into that bitter night, "hey, three plus one makes four"! Well, they seemed to think we're disturbin' the peace But we won't let 'em make us sad 'Cos kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add Baby we were born to add! Baby we were born to add! Add! Add! Add! Baby we were born to add! Add! Add! Add! Baby we were born to add! Oh, add Baby we were born to add! Baby we were born to add! Add, add, add, add, add!
