Sad
sung by Little Jerry (Jerry Nelson)
and The Monotones (Christopher Cerf, Richard Hunt and Jeff Moss)
(The Monotones are each holding a tissue as they sing)
Monotones: Boo-hoo
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Boo-hoo
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Little Jerry: I'm sad
Monotones: So sad
Big Jeffy: So sad
Little Jerry: Oh boy am I feeling bad
Monotones: So bad
Big Jeffy: So bad
Little Jerry: I wipe the tears from my eye-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Want to sit down and cry-yi-yi
Monotones: Boo-hoo
Whoa-whoa-whoa
Little Jerry: Whoa I'm so blue
Monotones: So blue
Big Jeffy: So blue
Little Jerry: I just don't know what to do
Monotones: What to do
Big Jeffy: What to do
Little Jerry: I'm such an unhappy guy-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Bet you're wondering why-yi-yi
Monotones: Wondering why-aye
Little Jerry: My very best friend left town
I climbed a tree but I fell down
Baby that's why I don't feel so gra-a-and
I lost a shiny dime
I went to school, had a lousy time
Now I hope that you can understa-ha-ha-ha-ha-hand
Why I'm so sad
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Big Jeffy: So sad
Little Jerry: Oh boy am I feeling bad
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Big Jeffy: So bad
Little Jerry: I wipe the tears from my eye-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Want to sit down and cry-yi-yi
Monotones: Sit down and cry-aye
Little Jerry: When rotten things happen
It's ok to feel sad
Big Jeffy (spoken): Oh, Little Jerry. You're so so sad.
There are tears on your pillow, and a pain in your heart.
There must be a cloud in your head, cause rain keeps falling from your eye-yi-yi.
But it's your song Little Jerry, and you can cry if you want to.
Oh Little Jerry just looking at you makes me feel so sad.
I just wanna cry ...
(they all break down crying)
