Can Read



"Can Read" is a song about things one can read to the tune of "Fugue for Tinhorns" from the musical, Guys and Dolls. There have been three separate performances of it on Sesame Street.

The first version features Big Bird, Susan and Bob at a newsstand, reading a book, a magazine and a newspaper (respectively).

The second version was performed by Telly, Lillian and Savion, who read the same things as the previous version.

The third version features new lyrics performed by Mr. Handford (who sings about his brownie recipe), Rosita (who sings about a letter from her grandmother) and Ruthie (who sings about her box label).
