I know a place where everyone is welcome
I know a place where everyone is smart
I know a place where you can learn a different language
Use your brain and act with your heart
Practice math or learn your ABCs
Kids and puppets living in harmony on Sesame Street

Dos Tres Quatro
Anything can happen cause everything happens here
Anything can happen cause everything happens here

I know a place where you can share all of your feelings
It's okay if you're happy and all right if you're scared
I know a place where everyone will care about you
You're gonna love it, we'll see you there
It's a place where we can learn about you and me
Everyone is different but everyone's family on Sesame Street

Deux Trois Quatre
Anything can happen cause everything happens here
Anything can happen cause everything happens here

Oscar loves trash, and he can be mean
Kermit's sometimes sad, it's not easy being green
C is for Cookie, Me gotta be blue
Grover sings over under around and through

I know a place where all the people are connected
Who are the people in your neighborhood?
I know a place where all the people are accepting
Everyone's authentic and everyone is good
Bob and Linda, Maria, Luis and Gabi
Mr. Hooper, Susan and Gordon and me on Sesame Street

Zwei Drei Vier
Anything can happen cause everything happens here
Anything can happen cause everything happens here

Anything can happen
Anything can happen
Anything can happen cause everything happens here
Anything can happen cause everything happens here
