They're Not Alive

They're Not Alive (not as dark as it sounds), also known as '''Is It Alive? '''is a Sesame Street episode about how rocks, chairs and cars are not alive as they cannot eat, breathe or grow.

Lyrics
Is a rock alive?

No, it can't grow like your brother.

Is a rock alive?

No, it can't eat like your mother.

Rocks can't eat.

And rocks can't grow.

And rocks can't breathe.

And that is how you know they're not alive.

No, no, no.

Is a chair alive?

No, it can't eat like a turtle.

Is a chair alive?

It can't breathe like Cousin Myrtle.

Chairs can't eat.

And chairs can't grow.

And chairs can't breathe.

And that is how you know they're not alive.

No, no, no.

Rocks and chairs.

No, no, no.

It's pretty plain to see.

Yeah, yeah.

They don't eat and breathe and grow.

So they're not alive like me.

Is a car alive?

No, it can't eat like a guppy.

Is a car alive?

No, it can't breathe like a puppy.

Cars can't eat.

And cars can't grow.

And cars can't breathe.

And that is how you know they're not alive.

No, no, no.

Rocks, chairs and cars.

No drive.

Can't eat or breathe or grow.

Yeah, yeah.

So if someone says, "Are they alive?", simply tell them, "No."

No!

They're not alive.

They can't grow like a spruce.

They're not alive.

They can't breathe like a goose.

They're not alive.

They can't eat like a dog.

They're not alive.

Or a chicken or a hog.

They're not alive.

No, no, no.

Trivia

 * Not all living things grow. Some single-celled organisms do not get any bigger. However, all items that grow (aside from those that grow by artificial means) are alive.
