Deedlie-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-do-dee-do!

[Verse 1]
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!

Oh!

[Chorus]
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!
[End Chorus]

Da da da da da da da!
[Verse 2]
It's so easy you can do it almost anywhеre at all
"Be-doodle" in thе kitchen or "be-doodle" in the hall
"Be-doodle" in the bathtub or "be-doodle" on the phone
"Be-doodle" in a marching band or "doodle" on your own

Oh!

[Chorus]
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!
[End Chorus]

Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da!

[Verse 3]
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!
Oh!

[Chorus]
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 sadness go away
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum
Be-doodle-dee-dum-dee-yay!
[End Chorus]

Be-doodley-diddley-didley-duddley-doodley-duddley-yay!
