On My Pond Lyrics - Sesame Street

(background fish in brackets) 

There's a place 

Where I can sit 

Just me, myself and I 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Where the water's 

Fresh and clean 

And peaceful as a sigh 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Look at the grass all around me 

It's green as the smile on my face 

Look at the trees they astound me 

Wow, what a beautiful place 

There's a spot 

Where no one lives 

But quiet little fish 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Nature lets me 

Come and visit 

Any time I wish 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Look at us all 

We're enjoying 

A breath of sweet country air 

(a boat goes by trailing fumes, Kermit coughs, 

a family turns up a boombox loud) 

Hey! This is getting annoying 

Please keep it down over there! 

Wait a minute! Who said you 

Could dump your garbage here? 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Cleaning it all up again 

Could take us years and years 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Keeping it clean to begin with 

Yes that's the smart thing to do 

(fish pop up with their faces covered in gas masks) 

(Don't let them cover our fins with 

Any more black slimy gooooooo!) 

Save a place where I can sit 

Just me, myself and I 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

Keep the water fresh and clean 

And peaceful as a sigh 

On my pond (on my pond) 

On my pond 

(repeat as people start picking up garbage) 

Isn't it a lot nicer with everything all cleaned up like this? 

On my pond (on my pond) 

(repeat and fade)
