"How Do You Do, Excuse Me" is a Sesame Street song performed in Episode 2952.
Professor Huggins (portrayed by an on-screen Jerry Nelson) sings the song to Grundgetta to teach her to pretend being polite in preparation for a gift on Oscar's birthday. Grundgetta repeats the most common polite words: "How do you do?", "excuse me," "thank you," and "please" in a rhythmic manner.
The song parodies "The Rain in Spain" from My Fair Lady.
