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
