Sesame Street ZZ Blues lyrics

Sesame Street
Miscellaneous
ZZ Blues
Well I've seen a lot of letters and it seems to me
There's something real special 'bout the letter "Z"
But boy we're sick of singing 'bout zippers and zoos
There ain't enough "Z" words
Got the ZZ Blues

You can stick with "zebra" 'cause it's tried and true
Maybe mention "zither" just for something new
But once you've shown them "zebra", "zither", "zippers" and "zoos"
You're almost out of "Z" words
Got the ZZ Blues

Time to write a song about Zanzibar
C'mon and sing along about Zanibar
Guess I could be wrong about Zanzibar
Going zingy with the ZZ Blues


We're zooming back to zipper 'cause it's still the best
Zipping back to zebra and we need a rest
Gettin' tired of thinking
Yeah we've paid our dues
There ain't enough Z words
Got the ZZ Blues

(band starts falling asleep while still rocking!)

Only band I ever worked with to fall asleep and keep playing the blues!
Guess I might as well join 'em
and cop some Zs myself!

(ends with band asleep but the music still going!)
