Lyrics

You ready, Elmo?
Ready as Elmo's ever gonna be, Mr. Kenny!
Alright, well let's hit it then! Here we go.
This is the song, la la la la
Elmo's song
La la la la, la la la la,
Elmo's song
La la la la la la la, la
La la la la la la la, la
He loves to sing, la la la la,
Elmo's song
La la la la, la la la la,
Elmo's song
He wrote the music
He wrote the words
That's Elmo's song
Hit it!
Peek-a-boo! Hi, Mr. Wynton!
That is a great song!
Well, thank you! You know what? Elmo just thought of a new verse.
New?
New, babynew verse!
I don't know, let's hear it.
You ready?
I'm ready.
One, two, one, two, three.
This is the song, la la la la
Wynton's song
La la la la, la la la la,
Wynton's song
He likes to play, la la la la,
Wynton's song
La la la la, la la la la,
Wynton's song
We love the music
We love the words
That's Elmo's song
That's Wynton's song
That's Elmo's song
That is a great song, Elmo, but I really don't deserve the honor.
Oh, of course you do. Thank you for playing with Elmo, everybody! Thank you! Goodbye!
