"The Ballad of Casey McPhee" is a Sesame Street song narrated by a Lavender Anything Muppet (performed and sung by Jerry Nelson) about a train engineer named Casey McPhee.
Casey, who is portrayed by Cookie Monster, is entrusted with the job of delivering cookies, cake, and ice cream to a birthday party on the other side of the mountain. When an avalanche blocks the train tracks, Casey fights the urge to eat his cargo and instead eats the snow in his path, delivers the desserts, and is declared a hero.
Cookie Monster has also appeared as Casey McPhee in The Sesame Street ABC Book of Words and The Perils of Penelope.
