'n Kuiken is geen kip

Music by	Harry Bannink
Lyrics by	Hans Dorrestijn

Sesamstraat is jarig - Frank - 'n Kuiken is geen kip

'n Kuiken is geen kip ("A Chick is not a Chicken") is a Sesamstraat lullaby sung by Frank. During the song, he walks through a street demonstrating to a watching crowd of children that the baby animals are not yet the same as their larger counterparts. The animals include a chick, a calf, a foal, a piglet, and a lamb. After dancing briefly with all of the children, he finishes the song and climbs into a large bed while the children continue to dance in the hay behind him.

The song appeared on a number of Sesamstraat soundtrack albums.
