Things Are Always Changing Lyrics - Sesame Street

(spoken) 

Father: (to Mother) How's the packing going dear? 

Mother: Just about done. 

Father: Oh good. (to Jimmy) Well Jimmy, tomorrow's the big day. We're moving to a new house. 

Jimmy: I don't wanna move. Everything's going to change, and I want things to stay just the way they are. 

Mother: Dear, now we understand how you feel but everything's gonna be just fine, you'll see. 

Jimmy: Sure... 

Mother: Oh, try to get some sleep, honey. (Father turns out light) Good night. 

Jimmy: 'Night Mom. 

Father: Good night, Jimmy. 

Jimmy: 'Night Dad. 

Hoots: (pausing by window) Yo Bunky! 

Jimmy: Huh? 

Hoots: You say you're feelin' bad because you have to move? Gonna have a new room and you're gonna miss your old room? 

Jimmy: Yeah. 

Hoots: And you're not gonna know anybody, and you're gonna have to make all new friends, and you're gonna miss all your old friends? Is that what's troubling you, Bunky? 

Jimmy: Jimmy. 

Hoots: Is that what's troubling you, Bunky ... I mean, Jimmy? 

Jimmy: Yeah. 

Hoots: Well you can stop worrying. Just remember - 

(sung) 

Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

Your caterpillar's all wrapped up 

And he won't tell you why 

Inside his sack he's changing 

Soon he'll be a butterfly 

And you know it doesn't matter 

If you lost your pollywogs 

They really didn't disappear 

They all changed into frogs! 

Hey! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

Sing it! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

Yeah, not much stays just like it was 

As that old clock keeps tickin' 

For every little egg you lose 

You could get back a chicken! 

And if you plant an acorn 

And wait a year or three 

Then turn around and look again 

You just may find a tree! 

Hey! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

Sing it! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

The seasons keep on changing too 

The summer turns to fall 

No more swimming, no more picnics 

But we get to play football! 

Hey! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new 

Everybody! Things are always changing 

So don't be sad and blue 

Change can make you happy 

'Cause it brings you somethin' new! 

Hey! 

(spoken) 

Hoots: So how you feeling? 

Jimmy: Great, Bunky! 

Hoots: That's Hoots. (he leaves) 

Mother: (in hall) Are you all right, dear? 

Jimmy: Yes, Mom. 

Father: Are you sure, son? 

Jimmy: Yes! Now please let me get to sleep, we're moving tomorrow!
