Erykah: Hello.

Muppets: Hi.

Erykah: My name is Erykah Badu.

(NOTE: I don't know the song he's referring to here, sorry if I mess it up!)

Elmo: Oh, the "a-jiggy, jiggy, yee-yo-yee-yo, what ya gonna do", Erykah Badu?

Erykah: That's me. Hey, come on over, let's be friends.

Muppets: Well ... hmmm ....

Rosita: Did she say, "friends"?

Zoe: Yeah, yeah, I think that's what she said, "friends".

Baby Bear: But .. ummmm ... we've never been friends with anyone who ... ahhh ... well, who wears what you're wearing on your head!

Erykah: Well, I've never been friends with three furry monsters or a brown baby bear, either.

(voices of concern about this, they have to brainstorm)

Baby Bear: Okay, huddle up, here we go! (the muppets huddle together) What do ya think?

(various voices: "She said, "friends" and .... she's pretty.")
(they come out of the huddle)

Baby Bear: Alright, so, are you trying to say that you don't want to be friends with three furry monsters and a brown baby bear?!

Erykah: Awww ... no, that's not what I'm trying to say. (music starts)

(sung)

Doesn't matter what you wear
Or what's in your hair
If you're three furry monsters
Or a brown baby bear
We're all friends

(spoken in foreground)

Rosita (to Zoe): Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Zoe (to Rosita): Yeah, let's go! (they run off)

Not being blinded by a color
Accepting one another
Like different letters in the alphabet need each other
We all need friends

(Rosita and Zoe return wearing headwraps like Erykah's)

Rosita and Zoe: Friendship
Talking 'bout friendship
Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee
Friendship
Talking 'bout friendship
Loooo - laaaa - looooo

Erykah: Now, reaching for a little star
It's pretty far
Come closer to the earth where your buddies are
To look for a friend

Muppets: Friendship
Talking 'bout friendship
Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee
Friendship
Talking 'bout friendship
Loooo - laaaa - looooo

Erykah: Friendship
Talking 'bout friendship
Ooooo - eeeee - doooo - eeeee

Talking 'bout friendship
Loooo - laaaa - looooo
A friend indeed is a friend we need
Be-da-de-da-day
Hey-oh-hey-a-ohh
Let's be friends
Hay-ahh-do-be-day
Talking with my friends
Won't you be my friend

Muppets (in background): Friendship

Erykah: So, we're friends?

(voices of agreement all 'round)

Zoe: Oh, yeah, thanks for the head-wrap!

Erykah: I love your head-wrap.
