Elmo knows a little secret for whenever things go wrong
It makes you feel much better when a band-aid comes along
Just take a breath, lift up your head, and stand up tall and strong
Let out a big "Be-doodle!" as you sing this little song
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
It's such a good thing to say
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Makes sadness go away
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Da da da da da da da!
It's so easy you can do it almost anywhеre at all
Be-doodle in thе kitchen or be-doodle in the hall
Be-doodle in the bathtub or be-doodle on the phone
Be-doodle with a marching band or doodle all alone!
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
It's such a good thing to say
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Makes sadness go away
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da!
Elmo woke up feeling grouchy, he was grumpy as a bear
He tried to find some niceness, but his niceness wasn't there
But quickly he remembered what to do when things go wrong
He let out a big "be-doodle!" and stayed happy all day long
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
An excellent thing to say
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Makes sadness go away
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodley-diddley-didley-duddley-doodley-duddley-yay!
