Sesame Street - Let's Call The Whole Thing Small lyrics

Luis: What a little painting! It's very tiny. Maria: It's not tiny. It's itsy bitsy. (They exchange a scornful glare and move on to a very large painting.) Maria: Look at that enormous painting! It's humongous! Luis: Well, *I* would say it's tremendous; I might even call it stupendous. Maria: You would ... (They move to another painting.) Luis: Now that is a great painting. It's absolutely fantastic! Maria: No it's not! It's terrific! (getting angry) Luis: Fantastic! Maria: Terrific! Luis: Fantastic! Maria: Terrific! (The music starts, and various Sesame Street people who are 'in' paintings, begin to sing.) Gordon: Can't you see that you both agree? What's the reason for this spat? Susan: You like to say things this way. And you like to say things that. Telly: What a shame; it all means the same. There's no need to make a scene. Elmo: There are lots of way to say the very same thing, If you know what I mean. Maria: You say little; I say itsy. Luis: You say tiny; I say bitsy. Little, tiny ... Maria: .. Itsy, bitsy. Together: Let's call the whole thing small! Luis: You say enormous; I say tremendous. Maria: I say humongous, you say stupendous. Enormous, humongous ... Luis: ... tremendous, stupendous. Together: Let's call the whole thing big! Bob (dressed as Atlas holding a globe): A ball can be a circle, or a globe or other sphere. They're all ways of saying what I'm holding here. Maria: I say fantastic, you say terrific. Luis: But when you say fantastic, to me sounds terrific. Together: For we see how we agree now ... Maria: .. Whatever we call it's OK. Luis: Let's say we call it a day!
