Belly Breathe

Belly Breathe is a Sesame Street rap about how breathing can cheer you up.

Lyrics
Man: Sometimes the monster that's inside you is a monster that is mad. It's a monster who is angry. It's a monster who feels bad. When your monster wants to throw things. And your monster wants to shout. There's a way to calm your monster. And chill your inner monster out.

Woman (chorus): Belly breathe. Gonna breathe right through it. Belly breathe. This is how you do it. Belly breathe. Gonna breathe right through it. Belly breathe. This is how you do it.

Put your hands on your tummy. Now you're ready to begin. Put your hands on your belly then slowly breathe in. B-b-b-breathe. Belly belly belly b-b-breathe. Belly belly breathe.

Feel your belly go out. In and out. And you start to calm down without a doubt. Feel your belly go in and out and out and in.

Elmo: Now Elmo feels like himself again.

Woman (sings chorus)

Man: Your mad monster may appear at any time and any place. And that mad monster will make you make a mad monster face. He makes you wanna push. He makes you wanna shove. There's a way to calm that monster. Bring out the monster love.

Woman (sings chorus)

Woman: Feel your belly go out and in and in and out. That's what belly breathing's all about. Feel your belly go in and out and out and in.

Man: And now I feel like myself again.

Woman: (sings chorus).
