The song "I've Got Two" is a cheerful and upbeat tune from Sesame Street that teaches children about body parts. The lyrics of the song follow the characters as they each sing about the two parts of their body that they are happy to have. The song starts with Bob singing about his eyes and how they're both the same size. Susan then joins in and sings about her ears, which she uses to hear. Gordon takes up the next verse and sings about his arms and how he can hold them up high. Mr. Hooper then sings about his hands and how they can wave goodbye. Oscar the Grouch sings about his knees, which are as round as you please. Finally, Big Bird sings about his feet, which he uses to walk down the street.
The song emphasizes the importance of each body part and how it helps us in our daily lives. The repetition of each character's verse and the chorus of "we've got two eyes, and they're both the same size" helps children remember the lyrics and the body parts being discussed. The song encourages children to appreciate their bodies and to take care of them by eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
