Down Below the Street Songtext

von Sesame Street

(begins with a scat, sounds like...)
Hey bow-wow-hey-ba-biddy-hey
What's down
What's down below the street
What's under the pavement that's under your feet
What's down, down, down below
Down below the street

Looking deep down, the first thing you see
Are the wires that bring electricity
The lights light up, the telephones ring
Because of the power all these wires bring

All those wires, all those pipes
Different sizes, different types
Bring you water, bring you heat
What's down below the street

What's deeper down, here take a good look
These pipes bring the gas that makes your oven cook
And what about the water that flows in your sink
Those other pipes bring you the water you drink

That's what's down below the street
Under the sidewalk that's under your feet
What's deeper down, deeper down, down below the street

In the winter you don't want chilly feet
So you need these big pipes to bring you heat
And for the water that goes down the drain every day
There are great big pipes that take the water away

All those wires, all those pipes
Different sizes, different types
Bring you water, bring you heat
Let's go down, down, down, down

If you're in a city where the subway goes
There's even deeper to go down and now you know
What's down, down, down below, down below the street

What's down below the street
What's under the pavement that's under your feet
That's what's down, down beloooooow,
Down below the street
