Singin' In The Shower
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
I like to sing, sing in the shower. Ah-ha!
As the water falls, I let my voice ring loud and clear.
I like to sing, sing in the shower. Ah-ha!
'Cause I love the way that my singin sounds in here.
And as I sing I imagine I'm upon the sand,
Imagine that I'm singing with a great big band.
My records are playing on the radio.
And I'm going to be the star of a great big show!
Ernie:
That's why I sing, sing in my bathtub. la-la.
As I soak myself, I let my voice ring loud and clear.
I like to sing, la la, sing in my bathtub.
'Cause I love the way that my voice sounds in here.
And as I sing I imagine what I want to be.
Like a singing sailor on a stormy sea.
Or a crooning cowboy on an open plain.
I can even imagine that I'm singin in the rain!
Oscar:
That's why I sing, sing in my mudbath.
As I squish around, I put my lovely voice in gear.
That's why I sing, huh-huh-huh, sing in my mudbath.
'Cause I love the way that my singing sounds in here.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
And as I sing I imagine that this is a swamp.
And it's even better than the city dump.
The crocodiles are restless, and you hear a screech.
And up comes Oscar, the king of muddy beach!
Big Bird:
That's why I sing, sing in my birdbath.
As the water falls, I just belt it loud and clear.
I like to sing, sing in my birdbath.
And I take a bath every time it rains out here.
And as I sing I imagine I'm a surfin ace.
I'm riding my surfboard in a surfing race.
The waves are getting restless, I'm about to fall.
So I turn into a plane and fly away from it all!
All:
That's why I sing, sing in the ___________. La-la!
As the water falls, I let my voice ring loud and clear!
That's why I sing, sing in the __________. La-la!
'Cause I love the way that my singing sounds in here!
La-la! La-la-la-la. La-la-la-la-la-la.
Oh yes we love the way that our voices sound in here!
