Words
Every time I hear/see this song I laugh--it is from the show "Avenue Q" which is all satire and after running for years in NYC it can be seen all over the world.
Read/listen to the words first then watch how it is done on stage even if it isn't a perfect video.
Enjoy and laugh!
As done on stage

I'm not quite sure how many people even know this song, but here are the lyrics. And I'm sorry for how lazy I got on this one. :) I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG!

Do they sound like Bert and Ernie on purpose?

@GreatMartin Isn't it amazing how some people just know when residents of Sesame Street are Gay?

Super thanks for sharing My all-time favorite along with many of the songs was La Cage Aux Folle How I enjoyed that when it was on Broadway and just had to buy the cassette. I have tried to find this original cast when it was done in NYC on YouTube but alas have failed I will see if they have anything on Avenue Q.

I went to the first matinee of La Cage in NYC the week it opened and George Hearne singing "I Am What I Am" and bringing down the curtain of the first act by walking out through the audience was overwhelming! Though he does it on the Tony award show he refused to do it in costume off the stage and not in the show.
It is the equal of Jennifer Holiday ending act 1 of "Dreamgirls" with "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Goingt"!

@GreatMartin I loved that song. I think it is a wonderful song for everyone because we all are who we are and personally I think each individual is terrific just as she or he is no matter what.

It always puts a smile on your face--also see some of the other videos from "Avenue Q" on youtube--very clever!
