From Your Head Lyrics - Sesame Street

Spoken: 

Elmo: Ummm, Ms. Schurr? 

Diane: Oh, yes, well would you call me Deedles, please, Elmo? 

Elmo: Okay, Deedles. (laughs) What are you doing? 

Diane: Well, I'm reading braille. It's a system devised for blind people who can't see to read print. 

Elmo: Oooooh. If Deedles is blind, and can't see Elmo, then how does Deedles know what Elmo is like? 

Diane: Well, one way that I know is by listening to the sound of your voice. 

Elmo: You mean Deedles can tell what Elmo is like just by listening to Elmo's voice? 

Diane: Sure. 

Elmo: Wow! What else, what else? 

Diane: Well, I can tell by touch, that's one sense that we use a great deal. (she touches his arms) Let me see. Oh gosh, ya got skinny arms, mine aren't quite that skinny! 

Elmo: Wow, so Deedles can find out about Elmo by listening and by touching. 

Diane: That's right. 

Elmo: Any other way? 

Diane: Well, by smelling ya, I can smell ya, do you mind? 

Elmo: No, no, no. 

Diane: Let me get a whiff here. (she smells Elmo) Cute little monster smell! That's alright, Elmo! 

Elmo: Thank you. 

Diane: Oh, sure. 

Elmo: So, touching or listening or smelling gives Deedles ideas of what Elmo is like, even if Deedles can't see Elmo? 

Diane: Absolutely, because the ideas and the thoughts come from withinside (her word, not mine!) our heads. 

Elmo: Wow! 

(music starts) 

Diane: Isn't that a kick? 

Sung: 

I had a thought 

Didn't find it on the ground 

Do you know where thoughts are found 

Very simply said 

The thought came from my head 

Got it from my head 

Thoughts come from your head 

From your head 

Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Elmo: Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Diane: I had a dream 

Had it lying fast asleep 

Down by where the willows weep 

On a grassy bed 

The dream came from my head 

Got it from my head 

Dreams come from your head 

From your head 

Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Elmo: Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Diane: I found a song 

Found it whistling in the rain 

I found a song 

Found it singing in my brain 

The song came from my head 

Right here in my head 

Songs come from your head 

From your head 

Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Elmo: Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Diane: Thoughts come from your head 

Dreams come from your head 

Songs come from your head 

From your head 

Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Elmo: Dooot - un dooot - a - dee - daaa 

Both: scat (I can't write it all out!)
