Cookie Monster: Hi Bob



Bert & Bob: Hi Cookie Monster



Bob: You know, Cookie Monster, you look a little tired



CM: Uh Bob. You right. Me just ate whole box cookies and me feel a little tired



Bert: Well, you know, I just spent a whole hour playing with my paperclip collection, and I'm feeling a little tired myself



CM: Well, you know what that mean?



Bert: No I don't. What does that mean?



CM: It mean it time to do very special thing



Me take a big box of cookies from the kitchen

Me eat them all 'till me tummy start to ache

So before me eat another box of cookies

There is one more thing me take



Me go and

Take a rest yeah

Me take a rest

Put me head on me pillow and me hands on me chest

Me love eating cookies

But sometime it best

To take it slow

Take it easy

Take a rest



CM: Hey Bert - you ever take a rest?



Bert: Oh sure Cookie; if you're an active kind of guy like me - you have to



Sometimes I take a walk around the corner

Sometimes I take a run around the block

Sometimes I take out my paperclip collection

But every day at 2 o'clock



I go and

Take a rest

I take a rest

Put my head on my pillow and my hands on my chest

I love being busy

But sometimes it's best

To take it slow

Take it easy

Take a rest



Bert: Hey Bob, do you ever take a rest?



Bob: Sure I do, Bert. Everybody takes a rest sometimes. Listen, I'll tell you about it.



You know your body likes to go out playing

But then it likes being quiet too

So when your body starts to tell you that it's tired

There is just one thing to do



Just go and

Take a rest

Just take a rest

Put your head on my pillow and your hands on my chest

It's fun to be busy

But sometimes it's best

To take it slow

Take it easy

Take a rest



Bert & CM: Everybody



All: Take it slow

Take it easy

Take a rest



Bert: Even softer



All: Take it slow

Take it easy

Take a rest



CM: Oh. Me so tired
