The Cookie Monster Blues – ‘Me Got To Be Blue’ lyrics ♪
A parody of Sammy Davis Junior’s ‘I Gotta Be Me’ (1968), the Cookie Monster Blues is a fun melo-dramatic plea about being blue.
Anything Blue review (and anthem) – ‘Me Got To Be Blue’ lyrics & story (the Cookie Monster Blues)
Just as famous as Kermit the Frog ‘Bein Green’ mega-hit, ‘Me Got To Be Blue’ is a family anthem, as the Cookie Monster is joined by all his blue friends and relatives.
What is the song about? Well in short, since the Cookie Monster (‘Me’) doesn’t know what else to do, he’s ‘got to be blue’, be himself, as it is the only option he can see. Blue is in his DNA, as he refers to his mother ‘who gave all she worth just to get birth to blues’, or when he depicts himself and his sister as ‘two monsters who just gotta be blue’.
In short, the colour Blue plays a big part in Cookie Monster’s identity, which is why this song is so dear to Anything Blue’s team.
The Cookie Monster Blues is the perfect song if you want to comfort a friend a bit blue, for a family bonding session and for Monday morning wake-ups.
Like the song? Sing along with the Cookie Monster with the lyrics below:
‘Oh Me know it true
That Me so blue
When you far away
And you not stay in view
But then again
Me just as blue when
You standing so near
And Me right here
With you
Me got to be blue
Me got to be blue
What else can Me do?
Me wish me knew
But me haven’t a clue
Me got to be blue
Now you know it’s not you
Who make me blue
And me sing this song
To pass along
The news
And my mum you see
She got blue family
She gave all she worth
Just to give birth
to blues (oh oh)
Me got to be blue (pa pa pa pa)
Me got to be blue (pa pa pa pa)
Me and me sister too
She baby blue
We’re two monsters who
Just gotta be blue
(once more with feeling)
Me got to be blue (pa pa pa pa)
Me GOT to be BLUE (pa pa pa pa)
Oh scoo doo bee doo
Me c it too
Me one of the few
(Big finish!)
Just got to be bluuuuuuuuue’
