Sesame Street
Take The Hand Of Someone You Love
[Verse 1]
Daniel was standing outside of his house
Jill was across the street
Jill started yelling, "Hey Daniel, come here
We're gonna get pizza to eat"
Did Daniel shout back? (Uh huh, uh huh)
And what did he say? He said (Here’s what he said)

[Chorus 1]
You gotta take the hand of someone you love (Take my hand)
Before you cross the street
You gotta take the hand of someone you love
Before you move your feet (Yeah yeah)
It may be your mother or someone who's grown
Your hand needs another, don't leave it alone
You gotta take the hand of someone you love (Just take the hand)
Before you cross the street (That’s right)
(Do do do, do do do)

[Verse 2]
Franny was playing with Clyde, her new dog
Franny threw sticks with Clyde
Clyde got excited, he jumped in the street
And ran to the other side
Did Franny stay put? (Uh huh, uh huh)
And what did she say? She said (Here's what she said)
[Chorus 2]
I wanna take the hand of someone I love (Take my hand)
Before I cross that street
I wanna take the hand of someone I love
Before I move my feet (Yeah yeah)
I'll have to just stand here before I can go
And wait for a hand here from someone I know
I gotta take the hand of someone I love (Just take the hand)
Before I cross the street (That's right)

[Bridge]
You might think the other side is not very far (Think)
A run wouldn't take too long (And think again)
You might think you're smart enough to do it yourself
But I know you got to be strong

[Chorus 3]
You gotta, gotta, gotta take the hand of someone you love
Before you cross the street
You gotta take the hand of someone you love
Before you move your feet (Yeah yeah)
Wherever your feet go, you follow on top
But what do your feet know? You must make 'em stop
Until you take a hand of someone you love
Take the hand, take the hand, take the hand, take the hand
Before you cross the street
(Why don't you take somebody’s hand?)
