spoken:

Ernie: And now, we'd like to do a song about our roots.

Bert: Ernie, we're gonna sing about trees?

Ernie: No, Bert. By roots I mean family. Or, as we say here in the country, kin folk.

Bert: We say that here in the country?

Ernie: All the time, Bert. Sometimes we sing about it.

Bert: Wow! Yippee tay ay, Ernie! Okay, here we go!

sung:

Both: Kin folk (kin folk)

Just a way of saying family
Kin folk (kin folk)
Kin folk (kin folk)
Come meet the kin folk on my family tree

Ernie: There's Auntie Sue who sells sea shells
Down by the sandy shore

Bert: That's easy for you to say.
And Uncle Peter Piper
Who picks peppers by the score
Now who else?

Ernie: Well there's cousins Kim and Slim and Mim
And some I've never met

Bert: Hey, and Bernice is just like family... for a pigeon

Runs an oatmeal factory

Ernie: And you won't believe this:
But my father's uncle's mother

Bert: Hey, watch it, Oscar!

Oscar: Move over, 'cause it's my turn to sing! We grouches got relatives too, you know. Only we don't call them kin folks, we call them can folks! Heh heh heh.

He's into trash like me

Ernie: Oh, Oscar! (giggles)

Oscar: And Sloppy Joe's the grouch to know
His best friend is a flea
