Elmo: (speaking, to his doll) Baby David,
look at the moon...and the stars (gasps) and the planets! Wow...
(sings) Planets, moon and stars
Above the world so high
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the sky
Planets, moon and stars
Are shining down through space
Each one in its home
Each one in its place
Earth is far below
Below each shining star
Earth is what we know
Earth is where we are
Planets, moon and stars
Above the world so high
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the sky
Wow. (laughs and yawns) Goodnight. (and he lies down and goes to sleep)
