	SCENE	Elmo is preparing a "Little Furry Red Monster Parade" and practices playing his drum near Hooper's Store. After Elmo shows Alan his marching song, Alan asks him if there will be enough furry red monsters to join the parade. Elmo is certain that a lot of furry red monsters will come to march.
	SCENE, cont'd	Elmo calls to all furry red monsters in front of 123 Sesame Street, but no one shows up, so Elmo decides to start the parade by himself. Zoe comes along and asks if she can join. However, Elmo notices that she is a little furry monster, but she's not red. Elmo wouldn't be happy marching in a parade without Zoe, so he decides to change the song's lyrics to have the parade be for "Little Furry Red and Orange Monsters."
	SCENE, cont'd	When Elmo and Zoe march along the street, Telly comes and wants to be in the parade, so Elmo changes the song again to allow "Little and Big Furry Red and Orange and Purple Monsters."

	SCENE, cont'd	Baby Bear tries to make a new parade song but the problem is, it's too long! Big Bird says that if they sing that song, they'll be here till a week from Saturday, "whenever that is."
	SCENE, cont'd	Elmo solves the problem by making it "The anyone who wants to be in a parade, parade!" and now everybody can join!
	SCENE, cont'd	Alan watches and figures since he's "an anybody" and loves parades, he can be in the parade too. Elmo calls Alan to join, and everyone marches down Sesame Street and sings the parade song. After a brief word from the tomato, he tells the others to wait for him to "catch up."
