You Don't Have to Be

You Don't Have to Be is a Sesame Street song about some food and drink that certain animals eat, but is okay for humans as well.

Lyrics
Oh, you don't have to be a grizzly bear to eat some honey.

Don't have to be a mouse to munch a hunk of cheese.

You don't say you won't eat carrots 'cause you're not a bunny.

These foods are really scrumptious. Won't you try some, please.

Milk is yummy even if you're not a kitty.

You don't have to be a horse to think an apple's good.

Hey, take a tip from what I'm saying in this ditty.

You'll find you might like food you never thought you would.

You don't have to eat a birdie to wanna eat a grape.

Oh, no.

And to eat a ripe banana, you don't have to be an ape.

If you wanna eat a peanut, you don't need to grow a trunk.

No, no.

And if someone tells you different, well, it's just a lot of bunk.

You don't have to be a walrus to know how tasty fish is.

You don't have to be a pig to think corn's a treat.

There's so many kinds of foods, and, wow! They're all delicious.

Hey, don't you think it's time for something new to eat!?

Yeah, don't you think it's time for something new to eat?

Yeah.

Trivia

 * Technically, humans are a type of ape.
