Stick Out Your Hand And Say Hello Lyrics - Sesame Street

Rick & Bert: Stick out your hand and say hello 

You might meet someone just like you who's really great to know 

Rick: Now, mind you, I love the friends I've got 

Bert: Oh, sure. But making a new one hits the spot 

Rick: Howdy, I'm Rick, how are you, man? 

Bert: Hello! 

Rick: It's always swell to run across another oatmeal fan! 

Bert: I'm Bert, and hey, meeting you is neat 

Those shoes and socks do wonders for your feet! 

(they're both wearing saddle shoes and argyle socks!) 

Rick & Bert: Even if you're kind of shy, don't worry, it's okay 

Come on, reach out and shake a hand and make a friend today! 

Rick: Hi, I like pigeons, how 'bout you? 

Bert: Wha- Wow! I don't believe this, you know, I love pigeons too! 

Cowgirl & Blue guy in seats behind them: Me too! 

Rick: What's shakin' neighbors, put 'er there! 

Cowgirl & Blue guy: The pleasure's ours! 

Bert: Gee thanks - (to Blue guy) I dig your hair! (he has Bert-hair!) 

Blue guy: Oh! 

All 4: Sometimes it might be hard to be the one who breaks the ice 

But try it and you'll find that making friends is really nice 

Everybody on the plane: SO, stick out your hand and say hello 

Hello! 

You might meet someone just like you who's really great to know 

Stewardess: How are ya? 

Guy in back: What's new? 

All: Hey, how ya doin'? Alright! 

Cow: When I meet someone new, I feel like mooin'! MOOOOOOOOOO! 

All: Yeah! Stick out your hand and say hello 

Cowgirl: Hi! 

All: You might meet someone just like you who's really great to know 

It's wonderful to watch how friendships grow 

When you stick out your hand and say 

Isn't life grand today? 

Stick out your hand and say hello! 

(And then everybody on the plane laughs like Bert!)
