Elmo Lyrics

Pride | Elmo's Song | Splish Splash | Happy Tappin with Elmo | Elmo and the Lavender Moon

Pride
by Elmo and the Goo Goo Dolls
to the tune of Slide

Elmo whisper in my ear
I really wanna hear
The things you did today
That satisfied you.

Elmo reached up high and shout
He done it by himself
And Elmo wants to say
He's feeling pride here.

When you've done the best you could
you feel really really good.
You're feeling that pride!

Yeah you gotta feel that pride.

You helped your mother bake a pie.
You fell and didn't cry.
You made your bed and said
your ABC's.

Elmo learned to tie his shoe
He added two and two.
Elmo drank up all his milk
And ate his peas.

When you've done the best you could
you feel really really good.
You're feeling that pride!

And you can be the monster
that you dreamed you'd always be.
Elmo's feeling that nothing can stop him.

Elmo
Nothing is beyond you.
So let those good thoughts fill your head.
You are furry, proud, and red.

Elmo
No one can top you.
So proud.

Be the best that you can be.
Elmo is so proud of me.

 

Elmo's Song
by T. Geiss

This is the song
La la la la
Elmo's song.
La la la la,
La la la la,
Elmo's song.

La la la
La la la la, la
La la la
La la la la, la

He loves to sing,
La la la la,
Elmo's song.
La la la la,
La la la la,
Elmo's song.

He wrote the music.
He wrote the words.
That's Elmo's song.

 

Splish Splash

Splish splash, Elmo took a little bath,
Long about a Saturday night.
A rub-a-dub, just relaxin' in the tub,
Thinkin' everything was alright.

Well, Elmo stepped out the tub,
Put his feet on the floor,
Wrapped the towel around him,
and he opened the door.

Splish splash!
Elmo jumped back in the bath.
How was he to know
there was a party going on?

There was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
Reelin' with the feelin'
movin' and a-groovin'
rockin' and a-rollin'

Yeah!

(sax solo)

Yeah!

But, bing bang, Elmo saw the whole gang,
Dancin' on his living room rug, that's right!
Flip flop, they were doin' the bop,
Elmo's friends had the dancin' bug.

There was Prarie Dawn with-a Betty Lou,
My word, Big Bird was even there, too.
Splish splash, forget about the bath!
Elmo went and put his dancin' shoes on.

 

Happy Tappin' With Elmo

First your fingers snap
And then your toes start tappin'
Give your knees a slap
And let your hands start clappin'
Anything can happen when you're happy tappin' with Elmo

Don't need a map to find the king of tappin'
I'm the reddish chap
The one whose arms are flappin'
People, it's a snap
So try some happy tappin' with Elmo

Happy's such a neat emotion
It'll give your feet a happy notion
If your toes get tired rub in some lotion
And they'll feel swell, so come join Elmo

You'll be happy when you see me tappin'
Better make it snappy, don't get caught nappin'
Tell your mam and pappy that you're happy tappin' with Elmo
Happy tappin' with Elmo

Happy's such a neat emotion
It'll give your feet that happy notion
If your toes get tired rub in some lotion
And they'll feel swell, so come join Elmo

You'll be happy when you see me tappin'
Better make it snappy, don't get caught nappin'
Tell your mam and pappy that you're happy tappin' with Elmo
Happy tappin' with Elmo
Yeah!

 

Elmo and the Lavender Moon
Performed by Los Lobos
To the tune of Kiko 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
