Sesame Street - The Monster`s Three Wishes слова песни
Once there lived a little monster In a kingdom far away. And a very strange thing happened As he brushed his teeth one day. As he squeezed his tube of toothpaste, Deepest thunder shook the skies. And suddenly a genie stood Before his very eyes. "I`m the genie of the toothpaste," Said the genie with a laugh. "I`ve been trapped inside that toothpaste tube For 3 weeks and a half. You squeezed the tube and set me free So here is what I`ll do - I`ll let you have 3 wishes And I`ll make them all come true." "Oh boy!" exclaimed the monster, "Wow! 3 wishes just for me! Now let me think and then decide What my first wish will be." Now my favorite thing is cookies, Thought the monster with a grin. But first I`ll wish for something nice To keep my cookies in. I would like a million cookies, But before I use that wish ... "Hey, Genie," said the monster, "Will you please bring me a dish?" "Will I ever!" said the genie, "For your wish is my command." And instantly a dish appeared Right in the monster`s hand. "Hey, I did it!" cried the genie. "Wow! I haven`t lost my touch!" "It`s a nice dish," said the monster, "But it won`t hold very much." The monster thought of all the cookies That he`d soon get with his wish. And he knew a million cookies Couldn`t fit on one small dish. He would need something much bigger. So the monster said, "Hey, Genie! I would like a great big box ... This plate is much too teeny!" "You want a box? You`ve got it," Said the genie with a smirk. And instantly a box appeared. The monster cried, "Nice work!" But although the box was pretty big And could hold lots of stuff - Could it hold a million cookies ...? It just wasn`t big enough. So the monster called the genie And said, "Boy, am I in luck! Since you`ll give me what I wish for ... How about a great big truck?" And right away a truck appeared Before the monster`s eyes. "Fantastic!" cried the monster. "It is just the perfect size!" "It will hold a million cookies, And I`ll never have to worry. And that is what I wish for! Give me cookies now! Please hurry!" "I am sorry," said the genie, "For though cookies are delicious, I cannot give them to you `Cause you`ve used up your 3 wishes." (love that rhyme!) "Oh, no!" exclaimed the monster. "is it true? I just can`t tell. For although I`m good at eating things, I do not count so well." "Let us count these things together," Said the genie, "and you`ll see - The dish is 1, the box is 2, And then the truck makes 3." "3 things! You`re right," the monster said, "Now what am I to do? I`ve used up my 3 wishes And I`m very hungry, too!" "Gee, that`s too bad," the genie said, "But now my job`s complete." "I`m so hungry," said the monster, "Oh, I need something to eat!" "I`m sad your wish for cookies Can`t come true," the genie said. "That`s okay," replied the monster ... " ... I`ll just eat the truck instead!" And as the monster ate the truck, The genie disappeared, Saying, "I have seen a lot of things - But boy ... is that guy weird!"
