All Dressed Up
Sesame Street Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my scarf round my neck,
I'm all dressed up and ready to go.
Got my earmuffs on my ears to keep me warm;
Galoshes on my feet to weather the storm.
Oh, got my coat on my back,
Got my gloves on my hands,
'Cause with my hat on my head,
And my scarf round my neck,
I'm all dressed up and ready to go.
Got my galosh on my head,
Got my gloves on my ears,
We're all dressed up and ready to go.
Got earmuffs round my waist to keep me warm;
My scarf goes on my nose to weather the storm.
Got my coat on my face,
Got my hat on my hands,
No matter now if winter winds blow;
'Cause with my galosh on my head,
And my gloves on my ears,
We're all dressed up and ready to go.
'Cause with our hats on our heads,
And our scarves round our necks,
And my earmuffs on ears, and galoshes on feet,
And my coat on my back, and our gloves on our hands,
Then we know -- See! --
That you're all dressed up and ready to go!
