 * Bert Yellow as Big Bird

Lyrics
Bert Yellow: I remember back when I was very small There used to be this light switch in the hall I was much too short to reach it so I couldn't turn on the light My mom would have to turn it off at bedtime ev'ry night And of course my dad could reach it and my sister could reach it too But somehow I was just too small and what was I to do?

Well time went by and I just grew and grew And I was tall enough - yes I was tall enough I could stretch and reach the light switch in the hall enough And I must have turned it on and off a hundred times a day 'cause I was Tall enough Hooray

Momma kept a sack of birdseed on a shelf That everyone could reach except myself I would stand up on my tip toes but I wouldn't quite reach the sack It's not much fun to be too short to get yourself a snack And of course my dad could reach it and my sister could reach it too But somehow I was just too small and what was I to do?

Well time went by and I just grew and grew And I was tall enough I could stretch and reach that shelf up on the wall enough And I bet I must have had a hundred snacks that happy day 'cause I was Tall enough Hooray

So if you can't reach the shelf up on the wall Well no one can when they are young and small 'Cause everyone starts out little and then ev'ryone grows and grows It's something very simple, something ev'rybody knows yes Your dad was really little once your sister was little too And even I was little once and then I grew and grew And right now you're just tall enough for you

Oh yes you're tall enough - exactly tall enough Exactly far enough and thin enough and small enough And although you're growing taller in your very special way Still you are tall enough today Yes you're tall enough Hoo-ray!
