Forty Blocks From My Home Sesame Street

"Bye, Mom, Bye, Spot, see you later."

1 Block, 2 Blocks, 3
My mom's still wavin' at me
4, 5, 6
The kids are all startin' to mix
7, 8, 9
I'm tryin' to keep from cryin'
10, count 'em 10
Man, I wish I was back home again!
Yeah, life can be so cruel
Goin' forty blocks to school
Forty blocks from my home

11, 12, 13
I'm singin' the homesick blues
14, 15, 16
I'm shakin' inside my new shoes
17, 18, 19
That's 19 streets of sorrow
20, count 'em 20
Gotta do it again tomorrow!
Yeah, life can be so cruel
Goin' forty blocks to school
