[[1st Verse]]:
I believe that children can live longer
If they watch this beautiful show right now
Not violent shows including Dragon Ball Z
Those colorful Muppets that they can wave "Hi" to
Stimulating children's growth so that they can
graduate now
Joan Ganz Cooney searched for some solutions
Alternatives to violent toons
Techniques to teaching kids about ABCs
A great formula that's sweet
And that's how she made Sesame Street
Through the rise of television
And children singing commercial jingles
Much research some elbow grease
Testing episodes wasn't a breeze
A new show Joan would ever seem
That also promotes some self-esteem
Because more children who watch it more
Have high graduate rates
Sesame Street is great
Great for 50 years hands down.

[[Chorus:]]
Sesame Street Hoorah!
Is what families trust
Simply second to none
next to Mr. Rogers, that is!

[[2nd Verse:]]
Joan Ganz Cooney is the woman of truth
Trying hard and never giving up
Fighting hard for decency for little kids
Surviving tough challenges through the 1960s
Tools and resources combined so Sesame
Can start TV
Even in twenty-oh-one
When the 9/11 attacks caved on in
Through the twenty-first Century
Teaching cultures, worldwide diversity
Even in today's society
This children's show sure can't be beat!
Because the greatest things from Sesame
Is easy to acquire
Keeping children from harm
The great power of Sesame.

[[Chorus:]]

[[Outro:]]
If being a smarter person
With surviving tough love
You've simply come to the right place
The greatest show 'round!
