Sesame Street - Silly Squirrel Dance Lyrics

Got a brand new dance that I'm nuts about
(A new dance that she's nuts about)
Well, first you suck your cheeks in
Then ya puff 'em out
(Suck in your cheeks; then ya puff 'em out)

Raise one hand, then the other
Like you're climbin' a tree
Yeah, pretend that you're a squirrel
It's the thing to be!
Come on and take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
(Squirrel Dance with me!)

Now give your tail a shake
And then you shout "Yahoo!"
(Shake it, baby, and shout "Yahoo!")
Hey, if you don't have a tail
Then your leg will do
(Don't need a tail, your leg will do!)

Now hop on one foot
Then collapse on the floor
Come on, everybody, whatcha waitin' for?
It's time to take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
(Squirrel Dance with me!)

While you're lyin' on your back
Start to rub your tummy
This dance'll make you happy
When you're feelin' crummy
Stick your thumbs in your ears
And wiggle your fingers and shout:
"The Squirrelles are our favorite singers!"

Thank you!

Now our dance is nearly done
There's not much left to do
(There's really not much left to do)
Except to get back on your feet
And take a bow or two!
(Back on your feet and take a bow or two!)

We had such a good time
We don't wanna stop!
So, once again, let's rub and puff
And climb and hop!
Come on and take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
(Take a chance and do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)

Come on and take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
(Squirrel Dance with me!)

Take a chance
(And do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)
Come on and take a chance
(And do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)
Come on and take a chance
(And do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)

(repeat and fade)
