Take A Rest Lyrics - Sesame Street

Cookie Monster: Hi Bob 

Bert & Bob: Hi Cookie Monster 

Bob: You know, Cookie Monster, you look a little tired 

CM: Uh Bob. You right. Me just ate whole box cookies and me feel a little tired 

Bert: Well, you know, I just spent a whole hour playing with my paperclip collection, and I'm feeling a little tired myself 

CM: Well, you know what that mean? 

Bert: No I don't. What does that mean? 

CM: It mean it time to do very special thing 

Me take a big box of cookies from the kitchen 

Me eat them all 'till me tummy start to ache 

So before me eat another box of cookies 

There is one more thing me take 

Me go and 

Take a rest yeah 

Me take a rest 

Put me head on me pillow and me hands on me chest 

Me love eating cookies 

But sometime it best 

To take it slow 

Take it easy 

Take a rest 

CM: Hey Bert - you ever take a rest? 

Bert: Oh sure Cookie; if you're an active kind of guy like me - you have to 

Sometimes I take a walk around the corner 

Sometimes I take a run around the block 

Sometimes I take out my paperclip collection 

But every day at 2 o'clock 

I go and 

Take a rest 

I take a rest 

Put my head on my pillow and my hands on my chest 

I love being busy 

But sometimes it's best 

To take it slow 

Take it easy 

Take a rest 

Bert: Hey Bob, do you ever take a rest? 

Bob: Sure I do, Bert. Everybody takes a rest sometimes. Listen, I'll tell you about it. 

You know your body likes to go out playing 

But then it likes being quiet too 

So when your body starts to tell you that it's tired 

There is just one thing to do 

Just go and 

Take a rest 

Just take a rest 

Put your head on my pillow and your hands on my chest 

It's fun to be busy 

But sometimes it's best 

To take it slow 

Take it easy 

Take a rest 

Bert & CM: Everybody 

All: Take it slow 

Take it easy 

Take a rest 

Bert: Even softer 

All: Take it slow 

Take it easy 

Take a rest 

CM: Oh. Me so tired
