Count von Count's Continuous Country Cookin' Downhome Diner

sung by The Count and Herry Monster (both Jerry Nelson)
Cookie Monster, Grover and Bert (all Frank Oz)
Ernie (Steve Whitmire) and Big Bird (Carroll Spinney)

The Count: Oh, Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
If you like home cookin' try it Transylvanian style
At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
Come inside and open wide, it's love at first bite

Ernie: Let me see...
I'll have a number four - the one minute egg
And three strips of bacon on the side
Wait a minute...
On second thought, I'll have some cereal instead

Cookie Monster: Me settle for cookie sandwich on rye

The Count: At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner (ha ha)
If you like home cookin' try it Transylvanian style
At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
Come inside and open wide, it's love at first bite

Grover: I will try a number five - the business monster's lunch
And a bowl of alphabet soup, A to Z (A to Z)

Cookie Monster: Me still want six or seven cookies me can munch

Herry Monster: And a blue plate special for blue monsters like me

The Count: At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
If you like home cookin' try it Transylvanian style
At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
Come inside and open wide, it's love at first bite

Big Bird: I don't know what to have, I eat like a bird
I guess I'll have some bird seed on a bun (on a bun)

Bert: Two bowls of oatmeal, for dessert I'm gonna splurge

The Count: Anyone for seconds? Me! That's one!
Yes, at Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
If you like home cookin' try it Transylvanian style
At Count von Count's continuous country cookin' downhome diner
Come inside and open wide, it's love at first bite

Come inside and open wide, it's love at first bite

Come and get it!
