Special Sesame Street Lyrics by Christoper Cerf
Elmo, whisper in my ear
I really wanna hear
The things you did today
That stratified you
Elmo: Elmo reached the highest shelf!
He got dressed by himself!
And Elmo wants to say
He's filled with pride, yeah!
When you've done the best you could
You feel really, really good!
Elmo: Yeah!
You're feelin' that pride!
Elmo: Pride!
Yeah, 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: 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 feelin' that pride!
Hmmm, pride!
And you can be the monster that you dreamed you'd always be
Elmo: Elmo's feelin' that nothing can stop him! Yeah!
Elmo, nothing is beyond you
So let those good thoughts fill your head
You are furry proud and red!
Elmo: Elmo, no one can top him!
And he's so proud!
Be the best that you can be
Elmo: Elmo is so proud of me!
