Rebel L
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
Just loungin' in my bed,
Heard such a loony howling',
Stood my hair up on my head.
Lunged over to the window,
Flipped the floodlight right on.
Hey, there's a letter L
On the loose,
Leaping across my lawn!
I heard the letter L
Let out a "luh-luh-luh."
The little rebel L,
He cried, "Luh-luh-luh."
Luh-luh-luh!"
I heard the letter L
Let out a "luh-luh-luh."
The little rebel L,
He went, "Luh-luh-luh,
LUH-LUH-LUH!"
Rebel L!
He said, "You gotta listen,
See, I'm a lean, mean lad.
Don't like to stand for 'lacy
Little lamb' or 'lilly pad!'
Just wanna live for loudness,
And don't say I'm too young.
I was born to go luh-luh-luh
At the top of my luh-luh-lungs!"
I heard the letter L
Let out a "luh-luh-luh."
The little rebel L,
He cried, "Luh-luh-luh."
Luh-luh-luh!"
I heard the letter L
Let out a "luh-luh-luh."
The little rebel L,
He went, "Luh-luh-luh,
LUH-LUH-LUH!"
Rebel L!
Leaned out a little lower,
"Leapin' lizards!" I yelled,
"You gotta learn a lesson,
Hey, it's late, get lost, rebel L
You're wakin' up the neighbors.
Please leave us in peace.
Looks like you're outta luck,
Letter L,
Here come the pol-luh-luh-lice!"
Policewoman: Hey, little letter L,
You're too loud, loud, loud.
We know you're lost and lonely
Without a crowd, crowd,
Crowd, crowd.
But listen, letter L,
We got laws, laws, laws!
Rebel L: I'm just a rebel L
Without a cause, cause, cause!
A rebel L!
I'm just a rebel L!
You know I'm just a rebel L!
You know I'm just a rebel L!
I'm just a rebel L!
