Sesame Street – Elmo’s Opera Lullaby

(spoken)
Denyce: Good night, Elmo.

Elmo: Oh no no, wait, Denyce, Elmo’s not tired yet. Couldn’t Denyce read Elmo a bedtime story?

Denyce: Hmmm…hey, I’ve got an idea. How about I sing you something from the Opera?

Elmo: Opera?

Denyce: Yeah. That’s a singing story. Like this one:

(sings) Stars are twinkling up in the sky
It’s time for you to go beddy-bye
You’re not sleepy, so I will try
To sing an Opera Lullaby

In the opera when we sing
You’re bound to see almost anything
So I’ll lullaby you to sleep
Along with opera singing sheep!

Sheep: Good night…
Sleep tight…
Turn off…
Your light!

Denyce: No, no, not yet. Let’s sing some more
I have a very big surprise in store
Before this monster starts to snore
He’s going to be a little Toreador!

Sheep: A Toreador!

Denyce: A Toreador, who’s going to dance
Until he starts to snore

Sheep: ‘Cause he will snore!

Denyce: But not before, no not before
We sing some more…
Bring on a horse, bring on a pig
Because in opera we like things big
Bring on a chicken, maybe two
Bring on a great big operatic zoo!

Sheep: A singing zoo!

Denyce: A singing zoo, that just so happens
To be dancing, too

Animals: To dance for you!

Denyce: But when we’re through
It will be beddy-by-bye too,
To you!
Good night…
Sleep tight…
Turn off…
Your light…
Good night…
Sleep tight…
Turn off…
Your light.

Sesame Street – Elmo And The Lavender Moon

Elmo and the Lavender Moon
Now playing, makes-believe nobody could see
And then he waits and then he fakes
And then he bends and then he shakes

He plays and plays
Still playing as he goes off to sleep

Elmo and the Lavender Moon
Now dancing, making faces at a big fat cat
And then they dance and have a ball
Stands on one foot, doesn’t even fall

Dance and dance
Still dancing as he goes off to sleep

He goes to sleep when the sun goes down
But in his dreams, boy goes to town
He never stops, he’s all around
Up on the roof, down on the ground.

Elmo and the Lavender Moon
Now dreaming ’bout green shoes, airplanes, and cakes
And as he’s dreaming the night away
He finds new games that he can play

He dreams and dreams
Elmo and the Lavender Moon

Sesame Street – Eleven Morning

(as clock chimes)
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven
Eleven o’clock, time to get up

It’s a lovely eleven morning
I heard eleven worms yawning (yawn)
I saw eleven cows sleeping ‘midst the buttercups
I said, “How’s your cottage cheese?”
And they said, “Oh, dry up!”
Oh!

Eleven little birdies in the trees
Bright yellow beaks and pinky knees
Eleven chicks hatching
Eleven cats scratching
Eleven’s the number for me

Eleven ducklings quacking
(quack-quack-quack)
Eleven pigs, lips smacking
One two three four five six
Seven eight nine ten eleven
Eleven’s the number for me
Don’t you see?
Eleven’s the number for me!

(Then the singer shrieks as she falls into the pigsty.)

Sesame Street – Elbows And Knees

You have two elbows
You have two knees
Perhaps you’ve wondered why you need these
They can be funny looking there is no doubt
But here’s how elbows and knees can help you out

When you’re going for a jog
Or hopping ’round like a great big frog
Your legs must bend to do things like these
What does the bending is your funny knees

When you want to scratch your back
Or swing a bat to give a ball a whack
There is one thing on which you can depend
You need your elbow and your arm to bend

Singing elbows and knees
Elbows and knees
It sure is handy to have some of these
So elbows and knees I’m recommending
When arms and legs got to do some bending
When arms and legs got to do some bending

Hanging down from a trapeze
You need your legs bending at the knees
To brush your teeth or to comb your hair
You must bend your elbow so your hand will get there

Singing elbows and knees
Elbows and knees
It sure is handy to have some of these
So elbows and knees I’m recommending
When arms and legs got to do some bending
Talking ’bout elbows and knees
