N - The Noodle Song
Oscar: Let me see. So far, we’ve done A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M. That’s enough! Let’s go home!
Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! We’ve got lots of letters to go. The next one is N
So now I shall tell a story that’s filled with words that start with the letter N
Oscar: I don’t want to hear it
Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! Don’t you want to hear all those N words with the great “nn” sound?
Oscar: No!
Big Bird: Right! “No” is an N word
Oscar: Ugh!
Big Bird: Now, see if you can hear some others, Oscar. Once upon a time, there were nine naughty noodles
Oscar: Nine naughty noodles?
Big Bird: Sure. Now, these nine naughty noodles lived in a nest. And their names were Ned, Nat, Norman, Nathaniel, Nelly, Nan, Nancy, Norma, and Naomi
Oscar: Oh, no
Big Bird: Now, one day, Nora moved into the neighborhood
Oscar: Nora? Another noodle, I suppose
Big Bird: No. Nora was a nectarine
Oscar: Naturally
Big Bird: From Nora, the noodles learned not to be naughty but nice
Oscar: Doesn’t this story ever come to an end?
Big Bird: Ah, you want this story to come to an end?
Oscar: I sure do
Big Bird: O.K. One day, Nora and the noodles went for a walk and found a great huge letter N carved on a stone
Oscar: So?
Big Bird: So you wanted the story to come to an N
Oscar: Oh, no, no, no, no...!
