Nine Pigeons

Nine Pigeons is a Sesame Street song by a pigeon named Smidgeon about how many pigeons can fit on a wire.

Lyrics
Smidgeon: I'm a pigeon on a wire and I'm wondering to see

how many other birdies can sit with me.

It's an answer to a question that I'd really like to know.

So I asked some friends to help me out. Now here we go.

Well, here's the first friend.

Hey, me and you, I guess that makes two.

Other bird: Wait a second, here I come, don't start without me.

Smidgeon: Well, I guess this brings the birdies on this wire up to three.

Here comes another, that brings us to four.

Make that five, no six, after adding two more.

We are sure to get an answer adding birdies at this rate.

Other birds: Wait for us.

Smidgeon: That makes seven and eight.

Other bird: Squeeze 'em together. We can add another more.

Smidgeon: How many birds is that?

Other birds: Nine pigeons galore!

Smidgeon: I should really reconsider adding all this birdie weight

'cause there's so many birds I think this wire might break.
