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
