Elmo's Opera Lullaby Songtext

(spoken) Denyce: Good night, Elmo. Elmo: Oh no no, wait, Denyce, Elmo's not tired yet. Couldn't Denyce read Elmo a bedtime story? Denyce: Hmmm...hey, I've got an idea. How about I sing you something from the Opera? Elmo: Opera? Denyce: Yeah. That's a singing story. Like this one: (sings) Stars are twinkling up in the sky It's time for you to go beddy-bye You're not sleepy, so I will try To sing an Opera Lullaby In the opera when we sing You're bound to see almost anything So I'll lullaby you to sleep Along with opera singing sheep! Sheep: Good night... Sleep tight... Turn off... Your light! Denyce: No, no, not yet. Let's sing some more I have a very big surprise in store Before this monster starts to snore He's going to be a little Toreador! Sheep: A Toreador! Denyce: A Toreador, who's going to dance Until he starts to snore Sheep: 'Cause he will snore! Denyce: But not before, no not before We sing some more... Bring on a horse, bring on a pig Because in opera we like things big Bring on a chicken, maybe two Bring on a great big operatic zoo! Sheep: A singing zoo! Denyce: A singing zoo, that just so happens To be dancing, too Animals: To dance for you! Denyce: But when we're through It will be beddy-by-bye too, To you! Good night... Sleep tight... Turn off... Your light... Good night... Sleep tight... Turn off... Your light.
