Kiko and the Lavender Moon
Sesame Street Lyrics

Kiko and the lavender moon out playing
Kiko is out playing with the lavender moon - an imaginary friend

Makes believe nobody can see
Kiko pretends that nobody can see him playing with the lavender moon

And then he waits
Kiko waits for something, perhaps for the lavender moon to come out or for something to happen

And then he fakes
Kiko pretends or fakes something, perhaps a game or an emotion

And then he bends
Kiko bends his body or mind in some way, perhaps to fit into a particular situation or to be more imaginative

And then he shakes
Kiko shakes his body or mind, perhaps to show excitement or to be more imaginative

He plays and plays
Kiko plays and plays, enjoying his time with the lavender moon

Still playing till he Goes off to sleep
Kiko continues playing until he eventually falls asleep

Out dancing making faces
Kiko is out dancing and making faces, perhaps at himself or at someone else

At a big black cat and then he flies Up to the wall
Kiko is dancing and making faces at a big black cat, and then he flies up to a wall

Stands on one foot
Kiko stands on one foot, showcasing his balance and playfulness

Doesn't even fall
Kiko doesn't fall, meaning he is skilled at balancing or the fall doesn't concern him

Dance and dance
Kiko continues dancing and having fun

Still dancing till He goes off to sleep
Kiko continues dancing until he finally falls asleep at night

He always sleeps
Kiko always sleeps fully and soundly

'Til the sun goes down
Kiko sleeps until the sun goes down, meaning he likely sleeps during the day

He never wakes
Kiko never wakes up until there is no one around

Till no one's around
Kiko wakes up after everyone else has left or gone to sleep

He never stops
Kiko never stops dreaming or imagining things

Can't catch his breath
Kiko is so immersed in his imagination that he is breathless

It's always there
Kiko's imagination is always present with him

Scares him to death
Kiko is scared of his own imagination or of losing it

Out dreaming 'bout green shoes
Kiko is dreaming about green shoes, a product of his active imagination

Haircuts and cake
Kiko is also dreaming about haircuts and cake

And then he wishes
Kiko wishes for something to happen or for something specific to come true

The world away
Kiko wishes that the entire world or his problems would disappear

And then he kneels As if to pray
Kiko kneels as if he is praying or hoping for something

He dreams and dreams
Kiko continues to dream and imagine things until he falls asleep

Kiko and the lavender moon
Kiko and the lavender moon are imaginary friends who bring joy and imagination to Kiko's life
