Slimey To The Moon Lyrics - Sesame Street

(spoken) 

Big Bird: Gosh! Sky sure looks beautiful tonight, Mr. Bennett. 

Tony B: Oh, it sure does, Big Bird. All the twinkling stars and that wonderful moon. 

Big Bird: Yeah. And just think - Slimey flew all the way to the moon in his spaceship. He must be a very brave worm. 

Tony B: Oh, he sure is. 

(sung)To go off, chasing moonbeams 

A worm needs to be nervy 

He needs guts, and stickability 

When things go topsy-turvy 

To embark on a worm lunar mission 

A worm really needs the right stuff 

Like a powerful rocket ignition 

Or some timely assistance from Snuff 

Slimey to the moon 

He wants to wriggle 'mongst the stars 

Let him crawl through mud and muck 

On Jupiter or Mars 

To other worlds 

Let him fly! 

To other worlds 

Send him winging... 

Slimey to the moon 

And when this worm arrives you'll find 

He'll take a leap that's small for him 

But huge for all wormkind 

To other worlds 

He will soar! 

To other worlds 

And then home to us 

Once more
