(I Can't Get No) Co-Operation

Music by	Christopher Cerf
Lyrics by	Christopher Cerf and Sharon Lerner
Date	1981
Publisher	Splotched Animal Music Company

"(I Can't Get No) Co-Operation" is a Sesame Street parody of the Rolling Stones song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (with the middle section modeled after "Ruby Tuesday"), performed by Mick Swagger and the Cobblestones.

Mick sings about how whenever he plays at the park, nobody around helps him with his games: "Every time I start to play, everyone just runs away. Couldn't get no cooperation if I tried!"

By the end of the song, the Cobblestones eventually cooperate and play hide and seek with him.
