Sesame Street - Don't Eat The Pictures Lyrics

See pretty picture with lady inside
It look delicious, me fit to be tied!
Me love to eat it with sugar and cream--
But no no no! Me know the rules!
Picture exciting, but not for biting!

(Cookie is joined by a 'back-up trio' of female Cookie lookalikes)

Don't eat the pictures, no no no
Don't eat the pictures, no no no
Don't eat the pictures--NO!
When you go to museum!

See pretty mummy, oh ho ho ho
It made in Egypt long time ago
Me love to bake it, or broil it, or steam
But no no no! Me know the rules!
Mummy look yummy, but not for tummy!

Don't eat the mummies, no no no
Don't eat the mummies, no no no
Don't eat the mummies--NO!
When you go to museum!

You open mouth, feed in carrots,
Cakes and cookies and pie
But pictures aren't cookie, they're meant for looking
So if hungry, eat with your eyes!

See pretty statue, so smooth and so white
It look like ice cream--me long for a bite!
Me love to nibble--but me wouldn't dream!
'Cause no no no, me know the rules!
Statue for viewing, it not for chewing!

Don't eat the statue, no no no
Don't eat the statue, no no no
Don't eat the statue--NO!
When you go to museum!
