Elmo`s Opera Lullaby — текст песни (Sesame Street)

(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.
