Heavy And Light Lyrics - Sesame Street

(spoken) 

Elmo: Oh, hello! Elmo and Telly are now going to show you all about heavy and light. Yeah. Elmo is going to show you about light with this feather. Which is very light. 

Telly: Yeah, and I'm going to show you about heavy with these heavy bricks. 

(sung) 

Elmo: Elmo and Telly 

Proudly invite 

You to watch a demonstration 

Of heavy and light 

Pay attention 

So you'll get it right 

'Cause Telly's is heavy 

Telly: (spoken) Oh yeah! 

Elmo: And Elmo's is light 

Telly: (spoken) I got it. 

Telly: Well I hope this little lesson 

Won't take too long 

It's hard to teach heavy 

Unless you're strong 

I'm trying to help Elmo 

With all my might 

But mine is heavy 

And Elmo's is light 

Elmo: Together we can do it 

Boy this is great 

Telly: Side by side both pullin' our weight 

Elmo: Together makes it easy 

Gee, this is fun 

Mine's like a feather 

Telly: And mine weighs a ton! 

Both: Well we just got started 

And we're almost through 

See what a little 

Teamwork can do 

Yeah, it might seem fair 

But it isn't quite 

Telly: 'Cause mine is heavy ... 

(Telly falls over from the weight of the bricks he's carrying.) 

Elmo: And Elmo's is light 

And Elmo's is light 

And Elmo's is light 

Elmo's is light 

Bah da bah da bee do be bah! 

Elmo: (spoken to Telly out of sight on the ground) Umm, Telly? Oh sorry, Telly, I didn't see you. What happened to you? Oh, let me help. Let me help. Come on, come on, come on, Telly, come on. Oh! Boy you are heavy! 

(Telly stands up with the bricks, starts to lean over and they both fall down.)
