Lyrics

Who are the people in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
Who are the people in your neighborhood
The people that you meet each day
Hola, Rosita! Elmo!
Oh hello!
Look look lookElmo's pretending to be a person in the neighborhood!
Oh wow, can I guess who?
Yeah, guess guess guess!
Yeah okay, let me see, uh You have an apron!
An apron, yes, and a hat
You have a hat and you have a bag!
Yes, a bag with cereal and lettuce and, what is that, a radish?
I think it's a radish! Lots of groceries you have there!
So, groceries you know?
Oh I knowI know who you are! You're a nurse!
No, Rosita, no no no! Elmo is a grocer!
Oh a grocer! Oh that makes a lot more sense.
Oh the grocer sells the things you eat
Like cereal and cheese and meat
Whatever food you're looking for
You're sure to find it at Elmo's store
Because a grocer is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
A grocer is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day
Elmo has to make a deliverybye Rosita!
Gracias Elmito! Now, we all know who he is, right? Who is he? It's a doctor! Mr. Johnson is a doctor, right?
Well, I'm not really a doctorbut I am a hypochondriac.
The doctor works the whole day long
To help you feel well and strong
But if by chance you're feeling sick
I'll try to make you feel well quick
Because a doctor is a person in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
A doctor is a person in your neighborhood
A person that you meet each day
I feel a little sick.
Should I call a doctor?
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, that sounds great.
Yeah, you guys sound amazing. Wow, Carlitos!
I just love our neighborhood. I do love meeting all the people in our neighborhood. You know what I think is even more magical, Rosita?
Yeah, tell me, tell me.
When all those people come together, like here tonight, and we make a community. Isn't that right? And we have a community of musicians right here. We have a jazz orchestra. Ted? Count us in!
The jazz orchestra with a groovy beat
Bringin' the sounds of Sesame Street
Saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and bass
Put music in this Lincoln Center Space
What a rhythm!
Jazz orchestra are people in your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
In your neighborhood
Jazz orchestra are people in your neighborhood
The people that you meet
When you're walking down the street
They're the people that you meet each day
