From wikia.com:

"The People in Your Neighborhood" has been performed on Sesame Street many times, sung by many different characters. The song focus on occupations, with each variation focusing on different jobholders (usually portrayed by Anything Muppets).

The version heard on most albums is sung by Bob and two Anything Muppets, a postman and a firefighter performed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz respectively.

In Episode 0718, David sang with an Orange Gold Anything Muppet Librarian (Jim Henson) and a Lavender Anything Muppet Plumber (Richard Hunt).

From allreadable.com:

DAVID: Come on, let's take a little walk through the neighborhood and see who we meet.

[SINGING]

Oh, who are the people in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood, in your neighborhood?
Say, who are the people in your neighborhood, the people that you meet each day?

[TALKS TO LIBRARIAN SHELVING BOOKS]

Psst, come here.

LIBRARIAN: Yes, can I help you, young man?

DAVID: Yeah, you want to sing with me?

LIBRARIAN: Now that's a novel idea.

DAVID: You must be a librarian.

LIBRARIAN: Librarian. Let me look that up.

[LOOKS IN BOOK]

Hmm, it says here,

[SINGING]

A librarian will help you look
for a special magazine or book.

There's a lot to read, and it's all free
so come down to my library.

DAVID:

[SINGING]

A librarian is a person in your neighborhood.

LIBRARIAN:

[SINGING]

In your neighborhood.

DAVID:

[SINGING]

In your neighborhood.

BOTH:

[SINGING]

A librarian is a person in your neighborhood, a person that you meet each day.

[PLUMBER ENTERS]

PLUMBER: Uh, Excuse me.

LIBRARIAN: Mm?

PLUMBER: Pardon me, do you have any books on plumbing?

LIBRARIAN: Good heavens, it's a greasy reader.

[HE WALKS AWAY]

PLUMBER: Huh? I don't know what he meant by that.

DAVID: Psst, c'mere, c'mere. Are you a plumber?

PLUMBER: Oh, I'll never tell. You'll have to wrench it out of me.

[SHE LAUGHS]

DAVID: Well, come on. You want to sing with me?

PLUMBER: Well, OK. Pipe down and we'll plunge right into it.

[SINGING]

Oh, the plumber is the one who knows
how to fix the toilet when it overflows.

If you have a stopped-up toilet, drain, or sink,
I'll be there to fix it quick as a wink.

DAVID:

[SINGING]

Oh, a plumber is a person in your neighborhood.

PLUMBER:

[SINGING]

In your neighborhood.

DAVID:

[SINGING]

In your neighborhood.

LIBRARIAN:

[SINGING]

And a librarian is a person in your neighborhood.

DAVID:

[SINGING]

They're the people that you meet--

BOTH:

[SINGING]

--when you're walking down the street.

ALL:

[SINGING]

They're the people that you meet each day.

LIBRARIAN: I'll look that one up.

PLUMBER: Yes, I'll sink about it.

LIBRARIAN: Mm? Mm.
