Everything Goes Lyrics - Sesame Street

Spoken: Ah, there they are, sunglasses. Wow, this is gonna be great! A whole day in the park with my friends. Let's see, ummm, flashlight, for looking into dark places. Yeah, in it goes. Let's see, a dictionary, yeah, in case I want to look up some words while I'm there. Boy, you know, it was a lot easier going to the park when I was little, my Mom pushed me in a baby carriage. 

Sung: Things have changed 

Since the days when I crawled on floors 

Wearing diapers in my drawers 

And my Mom took me out-of-doors 

Now I know 

If I'm planning a trip somewhere 

And I'll be very far from home 

I prepare myself with care 

Binoculars to look for birdies 

And soap for when I get the dirties 

My parka goes 

In case it snows 

My book and shovel, map and whistle too 

I can't say yet that this'll do 

No, I can't doze 

'Cause everything goes 

I'm taking my tent today 

And my hat today 

And my boots today 

My canteen today 

Something green today 

And I'll know today 

I'm prepared for any woes 

So 'though it's not a great adventure 

You'll say that I certainly went sure 

I was on my toes 

Everything goes 

Well, that's everything 

Brave as I am I'd hate to rough it 

So, I'll take my pack and stuff it 

Goodness knows 

Everything goes 

Yes, I would rather seem a worrier 

Than be a thoughtless hurrier 

The idea grows 

Everything goes 

I'm gonna be glad today 

And not sad today 

And not wish today 

That I'd stayed today 

In the house today 

And I'll know today 

I'm prepared for any woes 

So 'though it's not a great adventure 

You'll say that I certainly went sure 

I was on my toes 

Everything goes
