Adding Lyrics - Singles - Sesame Street

spoken: 

Okay, all you cats 'n kiddies, it's time for a little addition! Can you dig it?! Here we go! Now ... 

sung: 

Adding is putting together, hmmm 

Adding is just what you do 

If I have one cookie and you have one cookie 

Together they add up to two 

One cookie and one cookie makes two cookies 

One and one is two 

That's two, whoo! 

Yeah, outta sight! 

Adding is putting together, hmmm 

And I'm sure you will agree, yeah 

If you have two cookies and I have one cookie 

Together they add up to three 

Two cookies and one cookie make three cookies 

Two and one is three, oh! 

Dig it! Hmm-hmm 

Adding is putting together, hmmm 

Adding is making it more 

If you have three cookies, add one more cookie 

This time the answer is four 

Three cookies and one cookie make four cookies 

Three and one is four, whoo! 

Cookie Monster: Hey, cookies! Hey, what you doing? 

Hippie: Singing about addition. 

Cookie Monster: Why you not sing about subtraction? 

Hippie: Subtraction? 

Cookie Monster: Yeah, sure. I'll show you. 

Subtracting is taking away from, hohooh 

Subtraction is my kind of fun (now listen, see) 

When you have four cookies and I see four cookies 

I subtract them and leave you with none (haha, now see this) 

Four cookies minus four cookies is no cookies, ha 

And now my song is done 

And so are the cookies! (sounds of Cookie Monster eating) 

Both: Oh yeah!!!! 

Hippie: Outta sight! 

Cookie Monster: Yeah!
