Sesame Street - Just Because lyrics

Little Girl: "This looks like a good place to put this letter Y. It's a letter that comes after X and just before Z. I bet Grover doesn't know what this letter is!" Grover: "Skedaddle... skedaddle... skaddle-UP! I bet you think Grover does not know what this letter is." Little Girl: "Well, Grover, do you?" Grover: "No." Little Girl: "I didn't think so." Grover: "It's very pretty! It starts out with one line at the bottom and splits into two lines at the top." Little Girl: "That's what it looks like. But what is this letter called?" Grover: "I do not know. Tell me." Little Girl: "Y." (sounds like "Why?") Grover: "Because I want to know." Little Girl: "Y." Grover: "So I can be smart. Please tell me." Little Girl: "I already did!" Grover: "You did?" Little Girl: "Hmm-hmm." Grover: "Would you tell me again?" Little Girl: "Y." Grover: "Because I did not hear you before." Little Girl: "Y." Grover: "I don't know! Maybe my ears are on backwards! How should I know?!" Little Girl: "Grover, let me give you a little hint." Grover: "All right." Little Girl: "This is the letter that you hear at the beginnings of words like yellow, yarn, year, and yo-yo." Grover: "Hmm... It has a cute little yih-yih sound, but I do not know what it is called." Little Girl: "Y." Grover: "Maybe because NO ONE WILL TELL ME!" Little Girl: "Y!" Grover: "How should I know?! Maybe no one likes me!" Little Girl: "Y!" Grover: (crying) "I don't know why no one likes me! I try to be so nice..." Little Girl: "The answer is Y! Y-Y-Y! The letter is called Y, like W, X, Y, Z!" Grover: "...That's the letter Y?" Little Girl: "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" Grover: "... I am sooo embarra**ed..."
