Sesame Street Lyrics

The song "But I Like You" from Sesame Street is a delightful tune about friendship and finding joy in simple things. The song begins with Ernie asking Bert about things he likes, and despite Bert wanting to sleep, Ernie insists. Bert lists things like paper clips, bottle caps, and pigeons, which Ernie doesn't like, but he is quick to point out that he still likes Bert. Ernie then lists things he likes, such as playing jokes and watching the zoo's hippopotamus, leading to Bert's realization that he likes that too. They then continue to list other things they like, even if the other person doesn't, ending with the declaration that even if they don't always like everything, they still like each other.

The song captures the essence of a true friendship, where you may not share all the same interests, but the connection and companionship are the real treasure. It also highlights the importance of appreciating the small things in life, like paper clips and bottle caps, as they can bring joy too. The song's upbeat and cheery melody makes it a fun sing-along for children and adults alike.
