I'm Getting Pretty Big

I'm Getting Pretty Big is a Sesame Street song about how children, as they get older, grow and learn new skills.

Lyrics
I'm getting pretty big; I'm not a baby anymore.

Last summer, I could hardly reach the doorknob on the door.

And someone had to lift me up, then show me what to do.

But now I do it by myself and push and walk right through.

Ooh, ooh, woah, woah, woah! *humming*

There are other things I do I couldn't do before.

Like help my mama fold the clothes and sweep the kitchen floor.

And I can dress alone and do the buttons by myself.

And tie my shoes and get things down when they are on the shelf.

I make the elevator move. I drive it up and down.

And I can make a big bus stop and let us off downtown.

Ooh, ooh, woah, woah, woah! *humming*

I give the dog his dog food and pour milk for the cat.

Throwing a ball (I almost can hit it with a bat).

It's not so easy and, I guess, I have a way to go, woah!

But there are quite a lot of things that I already know.

Ooh, ooh, woah, woah, woah! *humming*
