Born to Add

Born to Add is a Sesame Street song by two Muppets, who walk about at nighttime randomly adding things up and believe it is their destiny.

Lyrics
When we're alone in the street and we see one car, we always add one and make it two.

It doesn't matter why we like to add one and one. Out here it's the thing to do.

Now some say that screaming "One plus one!" all night means we're thoughtless, cruel and bad, but kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add.

Yes, sir, we were!

As we keep on wandering, we see two trash cans, so we add one and make it three. That's a lot of us adders on the trapeze shore out here is the thing to be.

And we keep on shouting "One plus two!" even though it makes them mad 'cause kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add.

Baby, we were born to add.

Take it, pal!

One and two and three police persons spring out of the shadows. From the corner comes one more. And we scream into that very night, "Hey, three plus one makes four!"

Well, they seem to think that we're disturbing the peace, but we won't let it make us sad 'cause kids like you and me, baby, we were born to add.

Baby, we were born to add. Baby we were born to add.

Add! Add! Add! Baby, we were born to add. Add! Add! Baby, we were born to add. Oh, oh, add!

Baby, we were born to add. Baby, we were born to add. Add, add, add, add, add!
