[Verse 1]
Deedlie-doo-dee-doo-dee-do-dee-do-dee-do-dee-do!
Elmo knows a little secret for whenever things go wrong.
It makes you feel much better when a band-aid comes along.
Just take a breath, lift up your head, and stand up tall and strong.
Let out a big "Be-doodle!" as you sing this little song.
[Chorus]
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, it's such a good thing to say.
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, makes sadness go away.
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
[Verse 2]
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da!
It's so easy you can do it almost anywhere at all.
"Be-doodle" in the kitchen or "Be-doodle" in the hall!
"Be-doodle" in the bathtub or "be-doodle on the phone.
"Be-doodle" with a marching band or "doodle" all alone!
[Chorus]
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, it's such a good thing to say!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, makes sad things go away.
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-de-dum-dee-yay!
[Verse 3]
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da!
Elmo woke up feeling grouchy; he was grumpy as a bear.
He tried to find some niceness but his niceness wasn't there,
But quickly, he remembered what to do when things go wrong.
He let out a big "Be-doodle" and stayed happy all day long.
[Chorus]
Oh!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, an excellent thing to say!
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, makes sad things go away.
Be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum, be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
Be-doodle-dee-doodle-dee-duddle-lee-duddle-lee-doodle-lee-duddle-lee-yay!
