Sesame Street (Children's) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cookie starts with C
Let's think of other things
That starts with C
Oh, who cares about the other things?
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C
Hey, you know what?
A round cookie with one bite out of it
Looks like a C
A round donut with one bite out of it
Also looks like a C
But it is not as good as a cookie
Oh and the moon sometimes looks like a C
But you can't eat that, so
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me, yeah!
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
C is for cookie, that's good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C, yeah!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C, oh boy!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!
Umm-umm-umm-umm-umm
The Sesame Street song "C" Is For Cookie is a playful tune about everyone's favorite sweet treat, and the excitement and anticipation that comes with indulging in it. The lyrics open with a simple question - what starts with the letter C? - but it quickly becomes clear that the only answer on everyone's mind is cookie. The song goes on to suggest that while there may be other things that start with C, like the moon or a round donut, nothing quite compares to a freshly baked cookie. The repetition of the chorus highlights the sheer delight that cookies bring, and the joyful melody and upbeat tempo make the song a lively ode to one of childhood's most beloved desserts.
Beyond its catchy lyrics, "C" Is For Cookie has become an iconic part of American pop culture, and has been covered and parodied countless times. The song was actually written and performed by Sesame Street composer Joe Raposo in 1971, and was first sung by the beloved Sesame Street character Cookie Monster in the show's third season. Over the years, the song has been reprised in many different forms, from a rap version that was featured in a 2012 episode of the show to a punk rock cover by the band NOFX. The song has also been referenced and spoofed in a variety of TV shows and movies, cementing its place in the cultural zeitgeist.
