Aint No Road Too Long lyrics

(spoken)

Waylon Jennings: So you are the bird on the run, huh?

Big Bird: Oh, yeah! And I can't wait to get back to my real home on Sesame Street! I figure I can walk back there in, oh, about, uh, three hours.

Jennings: Three hours? More like three weeks, buddy.

Big Bird: Three weeks? Oh, no! Ill never get home.

Jennings: Sure you will. You just gotta keep going. Pick up your feet and follow your beak.

Big Bird: Oh, I don't know.

Jennings: Listen to me, son.

(sung)

I found out a long time ago
You gotta learn to say "yes" when life says "no"
Don't dwell on the bad times once they're past
That kind of thinking gets you nowhere fast

'Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind
Once you set your heart to movin' on
Son, there ain't no road too long


(Gordon, Olivia, and Cookie Monster are in a yellow Volkswagen, looking for Big Bird. Gordon is driving. They're all singing, unless it says otherwise.)

Gordon: Don't look back; don't you turn around!

Olivia: Just keep your eye on where you're bound!

Gordon and Olivia: And you're bound to get from here to there
'Cause a dream can take you anywhere!

Cookie Monster (spoken): Oh! Take me to cookies!

Super Grover: 'Cause there ain't no mountain you can't climb
If you hang on tight and just make up your mind

Count von Count: And once you set your heart to moving on, hut, hut
Then there is no road too long!
(Spoken) And you can count the telephone poles! One telephone pole, two telephone poles, three telephone poles, four telephone poles!
