SCENE 1 | Bob, Olivia, Big Bird, Telly, Herry, and Forgetful Jones get the yard ready for a party occurring tonight, but don't have any ideas on a theme. Big Bird thinks they can have a reading party, Herry wants to have a weight-lifting party, while Forgetful can't remember his idea. Bob comes up with having a singing party. Some musicians come outside as Bob starts singing "Let's Sing a Song That Everybody Knows." Big Bird chimes in with "The Bear Went Over the Mountain," Herry adds "The Itsy Bitsy Spider," Telly sings "The Alphabet Song," and Forgetful sings "George Washington Bridge" before they all head into the big finale. |
