- Hello, class of 2020.
This your cookie-mencement speaker, Cookie Monster,
here to congratulate you on graduation.
Me know it's a challenging time right now
and you getting deal rawer than cookie dough.
No graduations, no parties,
no awkward family photos in your cap and gown,
but me so impressed because all of you
are showing that you some pretty tough cookies, mmhmm.
And don't worry, 'cause me prepared
an inspiring speech perfect for occasion.
You gonna love it.
Uh, where me speech?
Um.
Okay, apparently me ate inspirational speech.
But that okay, because this actual life lesson, yeah.
Always be ready to wing it.
And sometimes you may eat your own words,
so that actually two lessons.
You know, you are all a lot like cookies, yeah.
Yeah, you know, there are even two cookies in 2020.
Cookie, cookie.
You graduates have all the ingredients
for an amazing future, just like the ingredients
in a cookie.
Your knowledge, your ABCs and 123s is kind of like
your flour, a base that allows you to bake
and create cookies or anything you want.
And you're also like butter.
Me never met a class so slick.
You as smooth as a baking sheet.
Thanks to you, me wearing high-waisted jeans again, yeah.
And me know more dance moves than the cookie shuffle.
(upbeat dance music)
Next we have the chocolate chippies, mmm.
That your sweetness and kindness,
the way you care about helping others,
and making this a sweet world to live in, mwah.
And me know it a little crummy right now,
but like eggs, you may get cracked,
but you always bake and rise up to face
challenges in front of you.
And you put that all together with a dash of vanilla,
and maybe some raisins if you into that sort of thing,
and a bunch of other things that me forgot.
Me cookie-eating expert, not cookie-baking expert.
And we have you, a perfectly prepared, baked,
and well rounded cookie.
Class of 2020, remember to eat a lot of cookies, yeah,
and a few veggies, and follow your own recipe.
Me hat off to you, if me had a hat,
but me eat that, too.
So me cookie off to you, you smart,
well rounded cookie, you.
You the best of the batch,
congratulations, and cheers, class of 2020.
Clink.
Yeah, good luck, your future look delicious.
And so does this cookie.
(Cookie Monster gobbles)
