Tall Enough - Big Bird

作词：Jeff Moss

I remember back when I was very small

There used to be a light switch in the hall

I was much too short to reach it

So I couldn't turn on the light

My mom would have to turn it off

At bedtime every night

And of course my dad could reach it

And my sister could reach it too

But somehow

I was just too small and what was I to do

Well time went by and I just grew and grew

And I was tall enough

Yes I was tall enough

I could stretch and reach the light

Switch in the hall enough

And I must have turned it on

And off a hundred times a day 'cause I was

Tall enough

Hooray

Momma kept a sack of birdseed on a shelf

That everyone could reach except myself

I would stand up on my tip toes

But I wouldn't quite reach the sack

It's not much fun to be too short

To get yourself a snack

And of course my dad could reach it

And my sister could reach it too

But somehow

I was just too small and what was I to do

Well time went by and I just grew and grew

And I was tall enough

Yes I was tall enough

I could stretch and reach that shelf up on the wall enough

And I bet I must have had a hundred snacks

That happy day 'cause I was

Tall enough

Hooray

So if you can't reach the shelf up on the wall

Well no one can when they are young and small

'Cause everyone starts out little

And then everyone grows and grows

It's something very simple

Something everybody knows

Yes your dad was really little once your sister was little too

And even I was little once and then I grew and grew

And right now you're just tall enough for you

Oh yes you're tall enough

Exactly tall enough

Exactly far enough and thin enough and small enough

And although you're growing taller in your very special way

Still you are tall enough today

Yes you're tall enough
