Forty Blocks From My Home Lyrics - Sesame Street

"Bye, Mom, Bye, Spot, see you later." 

Block 2, Block 3 

My mom's still wavin' at me 

4, 5, 6 

The kids are all startin' to mix 

7, 8, 9 

I'm tryin' to keep from cryin' 

10, count 'em 10 

Man, I wish I was back home again! 

Yeah, life can be so cruel 

Goin' forty blocks to school 

Forty blocks from my home 

11, 12, 13 

I'm singin' the homesick blues 

14, 15, 16 

I'm shakin' inside my new shoes 

17, 18, 19 

That's 19 streets of sorrow 

20, count 'em 20 

Gotta do it again tommorow! 

Yeah, life can be so cruel 

Goin' forty blocks to school 

Forty blocks from my home 

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 

Feels like I left my stomach somewhere back there around 11 

28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 

I can't go on much longer, man, but there's six blocks more! 

We turn around a corner, Block 35 looks great 

Now everybody's countin' off 36! 37! 38! 

We roll into the parking lot at number 39 

Pull up to the door at 40, hey, 40 feels just fine! 

Yeah, 40's pretty cool 

I went 40 blocks to school 

Forty blocks from my home 

Yeah, 40's pretty cool 

I went 40 blocks to school 

Forty blocks from my home! 

Forty blocks from my home!
