We have known that Cookie Monster is a fan of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," after he Tweeted last month, "Me just met you. Dis is crazy. But me love cookies! Gimme, maybe?" And now Cookie Monster has put his own stamp on the infectious song with his version, "Share It Maybe":

Clearly, it's a nod to Jepsen's low-fi, classroom instrument version of the song she did with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots (see it below), with a little bit of The Office thrown in. Who cares if toddlers will get it—their parents and baby-sitters will love it! Anyway, here's a rough transcription of "Share Me Maybe":

Me got a wish on me mind It is a chocolate chip kind Me look at you and me tell You may have snickerdoodle Me trade me soul for a bite Me spell it out black and white Me look at you and me see You like an elf in a tree

You, cookie-showing, and me hunger growing
Let's get skim milk flowing
We'll start this snack going baby

Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie
So share it maybe
It's hard to look at
Your snack baby
But you got cookie
So share it maybe

Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie
So share it maybe
Cuppy-cake with frosting
It don't phase me
But you got cookie
So share it maybe

You took you time with the bite
Me trying to stay polite
Me start to really freak out
Please someone call the girl scout
Me no grumble or grouse
It's taking toll on me house
Me going off me rocker
Please give me Betty Crocker

You, cookie-showing, and me hunger growing
Let's get skim milk flowing
We'll start this snack going baby

Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie
So share it maybe
It's hard to look at
Your snack baby
But you got cookie
So share it maybe

Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie
So share it maybe
Pie and ice cream
It don't phase me
But you got cookie
So share it maybe

Before you came into me life
Me missed you so bad,
Me missed you so bad,
Me missed you so, so bad
Before you came into me life
Me missed you so bad,
And you should know that,
Me missed you so, so bad
Bad… bad… bad… bad…

It’s hard to look at your snack, baby
But you got cookie, so share it maybe
Hey, me just met you
And this is crazy
But you got cookie
So share it maybe
Chocolate pudding
It no phase me
But you got cookie
So share it maybe

So, this can be the last "Call Me Maybe" parody, right?
