Let's Call The Whole Thing Small



Sesame Street - Let's Call The Whole Thing Small - Текст песни

Luis: What a little painting! It's very tiny. 

Maria: It's not tiny. It's itsy bitsy. 

(They exchange a scornful glare and move on to a very large painting.) 

Maria: Look at that enormous painting! It's humongous! 

Luis: Well, *I* would say it's tremendous; I might even call it stupendous. 

Maria: You would ... 

(They move to another painting.) 

Luis: Now that is a great painting. It's absolutely fantastic! 

Maria: No it's not! It's terrific! (getting angry) 

Luis: Fantastic! 

Maria: Terrific! 

Luis: Fantastic! 

Maria: Terrific! 

(The music starts, and various Sesame Street people who are 'in' paintings, begin to sing.) 

Gordon: Can't you see that you both agree? 
What's the reason for this spat? 

Susan: You like to say things this way. 
And you like to say things that. 

Telly: What a shame; it all means the same. 
There's no need to make a scene. 

Elmo: There are lots of way to say the very same thing, 
If you know what I mean. 

Maria: You say little; I say itsy. 

Luis: You say tiny; I say bitsy. 
Little, tiny ... 

Maria: .. Itsy, bitsy. 

Together: Let's call the whole thing small! 

Luis: You say enormous; I say tremendous. 

Maria: I say humongous, you say stupendous. 
Enormous, humongous ... 

Luis: ... tremendous, stupendous. 

Together: Let's call the whole thing big! 

Bob (dressed as Atlas holding a globe): A ball can be a circle, or a globe or other sphere. 
They're all ways of saying what I'm holding here. 

Maria: I say fantastic, you say terrific. 

Luis: But when you say fantastic, to me sounds terrific. 

Together: For we see how we agree now ... 

Maria: .. Whatever we call it's OK. 

Luis: Let's say we call it a day!
