Behind Your Face — текст песни (Sesame Street)

Boy: I think I`m lost.

(He comes to a house with a face. It flashes a bunch of colors for a moment and makes a strange sound.)

Boy: I`m lost, I know it. I`m really lost.

(He passes more stuff, including a fountain with bird heads that spew water and tilt up, then down.)

Boy: I don`t like it here. I must really be lost good. (A mysterious man with a yo-yo suddenly appears in front of him.) Wow!

Yo-Yo Man: How`d you get here?

Boy (turning his head away from the man to think): Well, let`s see. First I passed the street clock, then I passed the plastic house, then I passed the animal fountain ... (Man takes on each form as the boy names it, but the boy doesn`t see. Then he changes back to his original shape, and the boy turns back to him.)

Boy: ... and then you came along. Can you help me get unlost?

Yo-Yo Man: Well, you should figure it out for yourself, little guy, but I`ll give you a hint.

Boy: Oh, thank you!

Yo-Yo Man: Try to remember everything you passed. But when you go back, make the first thing the last. Ha ha! (The background sucks him up, yo-yo last.)

Boy: Wow!

Yo-Yo Man`s Voice: Yeah!

Boy: Try to remember everything I passed. But when I go back, make the first thing the last. I get it! I just go back past all those weird things again until I`m home. That`s it! (Begins pedaling in the opposite direction, passing the things he saw and some others besides. Among them is a hippo in a dress and bonnet, sitting on the ground and holding a flower. As the boy rides, a voice sings these words.)

Voice: Behind your face There is a place That`s called your brains or your mind. If you could sneak a peek inside, Oh, what wonderful things you`d find!

(Boy comes to a building, parks his bike next to it, and goes through door.)

Boy: Hi, Mom! Boy, was I lost! (Door closes.)
