Baby Bear wonders why he didn't get an invitation to the sing-along.
In the second street scene, Baby Bear feels hurt that he didn't receive an invitation. Telly empathizes with him and decides not to attend the sing-along if his best friend can't join. This decision makes them both happier, and they decide to find something else to do together.
In the third street scene, Baby Bear still wishes he could attend the monster sing-along. They decide to have their own sing-along, where they enjoy singing a song about opposites.
In the fourth street scene, Baby Bear and Telly are still disappointed about the invitation situation. Baby Bear thinks that maybe he wasn't invited because he is a bear, not a monster. He gets an idea and tells Telly he'll meet him at the sing-along later.
In the fifth street scene, Baby Bear wears a pink monster costume, hoping the monsters will let him participate in the sing-along if they think he's a monster. Papa Bear notices this and gives Baby Bear an inspiring speech about being proud of who he is. Baby Bear agrees and decides it's better to be himself.
In the sixth street scene, Baby Bear is happy to be himself but still wishes he could attend the monster sing-along. Suddenly, a group of monsters, including Telly, surround Baby Bear, chanting "Bear! Bear! Bear!" Telly explains that Baby Bear was invited after all, but his invitation got lost in the mail. A woman named Beebe Beara shows up to give Baby Bear the invitation that was mistakenly delivered to her mailbox. The happy monsters and bear head off to the sing-along, and Beebe wonders where to find cheap drapes.
In the seventh street scene, Baby Bear is delighted to be at the monster sing-along, especially since he and Telly are depended upon to teach the daycare monsters new songs. They teach them how to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and they all sing it repeatedly.
In the final street scene, Baby Bear, Telly, and the monsters sing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" as Gordon announces the sponsors.
