Friendship Songs with Coo and Curtis - Why Are We Such Good Friends?

Announcer (speaking): And now it's time for Friendship Songs with Coo and Curtis, the part of the show where Coo and Curtis come out and sing a friendship song. Today, these two birds of a feather are in the storytime room of the library, and they have a question to ask Star.

Coo (speaking): Can a cuckoo bird and an owl be friends?

Star (speaking): Hmm. That's a good question.

Coo and Curtis: We're wondering why
We wanna know
Why we like each other so
Why, oh why, are we such good friends?

Coo: You play at the theater.

Curtis: You live in this room.

Coo: You're such a cool cat!

Curtis: Your singing voice goes boom

Coo and Curtis: Why, oh why, are we such good friends?

Coo (speaking): You know, we like totally different things.

Curtis (speaking): For example?

Coo: I like a-hoppin' and a-boppin' with the ball in the yard
And a groovy jigsaw puzzle if it's not too hard

Curtis: I like a-shakin' and a-bakin' and playin' my bass
And showing my talents with a smile on my face

Coo: I like postage stamps, summer camps, racin' cars on racin' ramps
Musical chairs and your savoir faire

Curtis: Groceries and toast with cheese
A juice pop, please

Coo and Curtis: With as many different likes as these
Why, oh why, are we such good friends?

Coo (speaking): You know, Curt, it really seems like there's only differences between us!

Curtis (speaking): Ah, it really does seem that way.

Coo (speaking): But it's your differences that make you such a good friend! I mean, that's what I like the best!

Curtis (speaking): Really?

Coo (speaking): Yeah, it's true!

Curtis (speaking): I feel that way, too!

Coo (speaking): I've always admired your blue stripes so true,

Curtis (speaking): While you're turquoise, that's just like blue

Coo and Curtis: Maybe that's why we're such good friends!

Curtis: I love your feathers

Coo: You're beak's the word

We've only one thing in common

Coo and Curtis: We're both birds!
Why, oh why, are we such good friends?

Curtis (speaking): Coo, maybe I'm your friend because I like the different things you do.

Coo (speaking): Is that true?

Curtis: Yes, it's what makes you you!
I like how you hop and you bop with the ball in the yard
I like your groovy jigsaw puzzles, when they're not too hard

Coo: While I like the way you play your bass
And show off your talents with a smile on your face

Curtis: I like your postage stamps, summer camps, racing cars on racing ramps
Musical chairs and your savoir faire!

Coo: Groceries and toast with cheese
A juice pop, please

Coo and Curtis: With as many different likes as these
Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?
If you're wondering why, if you wanna know
Why we love each other so

Curtis: Look at the evidence

Coo: It makes such perfect sense

Coo and Curtis: We love our differences
That's...why...we're such good friends

Curtis (speaking): I get it! We're friends because we like what makes each other different!

Coo (speaking): Yeah! You know, I really like what makes you you.

Curtis (speaking): And I like what makes you you, too!

Star (speaking): Wow! Even though they're so different, they can still be friends because they like what makes each other different.

Announcer (speaking): This has been Friendship Songs with Coo and Curtis. Tune in next time to hear Star say...

Star (offscreen): There are so many reasons Chica and I are such good friends! Want me to name them?
