How Things Grow

Sesame Street

4

I came to the farm to see how things grow

And I learned some things I didn't know

Plants can grow high

Plants can grow low

Some grow above the ground

Some grow below

For instance a tomato doesn't grow like a potato

Tomato: Tomatoes push and shove to get up above

Ernie: Meanwhile a potato doesn't grow like a tomato

Potato: Potatoes never show, we stay down below

Plants can grow high

Plants can grow low

Some grow above the ground

Some grow below

Now if you want a lettuce

Lettuce: I'd tell you where to get us

We always can be found right above the ground

Ernie: Look high for a zucchini 'cause they're never very teeny

Beet: But if you want a beet, look under your feet

Plants can grow high

Plants can grow low

Some grow above the ground

Some grow below

Ernie: Maybe next time you'll see something you'll know

Tomato etc: If it grew above the ground

Potato etc: Or it grows below!
