If you're unhappy most of the time
And you're indoors when
The sun begins to shine

You're bogged down with responsibility
When the good sun shines
You can come out with me

And I will bring you flowers in the spring
(Elmo, where you going, wait for me)
And I will sing you songs we can sing
If you like me, wouldn't it be nice
When the good shines
It will melt all the ice

And we can share our secrets
No one else will ever know them
When the good sun shines
We'll make the flowers grow

And I will paint you pictures
If you promise not to show them
When the good sun shines
We'll never have to go

Now I don't want to leave you alone
(Elmo, want a cookie, where we going)
But when the sun goes down
We'll have to go home

But if you feel that
You want to be my friend
When the good sun shines
We'll come out again

Hey, Elmo, come here quick (what)
I think I found some gold
(Uh, it's only rock) oh

And we can share our secrets
No one else will ever know them
When the good sun shines
We'll make the flowers grow

And I will paint you pictures
If you promise not to show them
When the good sun shines
We'll never have to go

Now I don't want to leave you alone
(Elmo, it's getting late)
(My mother will kill me, I gotta go)
But when the sun goes down
We'll have to go home

But if you feel that
You want to be my friend
When the good sun shines
We can come out again

(I'll see you tomorrow, Elmo)
(Okay, Almo, see ya)
