In response to Nana showing some Sesame Street love and a reminder from Barni, here's another classic Sesame Street vignette.... rich with the most whimsical 70's acid-induced? imagery and metaphors. Yes, we remember Daddy Dear! We love it too!
and those great lyrics....
D, D, D, D
Daddy dear, oh daddy dear
Do dogs dream dreams, do ducks have ears?
Do dragons dance? Why do gophers dig holes?
Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes?
D, D, D, D
Dogs dream of meat and their dreams are delicious
Ducks do have ears but they don't do the dishes
Gophers dig holes to hide their candy bars
Dragons don't dance and they don't smoke cigars
D, D, D, D
Daddy dear, oh daddy sweet
Do dandylions roar, do daisies have feet?
May I have a drink of water and a dish of tadpoles?
Daddy how deep is a doughnut hole?
D, D, D, D
If dandylions roar then your daddy is deaf
The daisies drank the water so the tadpoles left
Your eyes are droopy darling daughter and you're dizzy in the head
Tho toads are eating dinner so it's time to go to bed
Little dolly go to bed
Now here's Capital I and Lower Case N back-to-back to cap this moment's dose of nostalgia.
Hope you enjoy sharing these with your own new-generation kids. My kids' current fave, by the way, is the Operatic Orange singing Carmen.
We know there's just too many but, what's your favorite Sesame Street moment?
