Take a Rest

Take a Rest is a Sesame Street song.

Lyrics
Bert: Sometimes I take a dip out in the ocean.

Sometimes I take a stroll down to the dock.

Sometimes I take out my paper clip collection.

But every day at two o'clock I go and

Take a rest. I take a rest. I 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.

Cookie Monster: Sometimes me take a great big plate of cookies. Oh yeah. Me eat as many as any chef would bake. But when me tired from eating many cookies (OOC: really?) There is one more thing me take.

Me go and take a rest. Me take a rest. Me put me head on me pillow. Wipe the crumbs from me chest.

It fun eating cookies but sometimes it's best to take it slow, take it easy, take a rest.

Grover: Sometimes your body likes to go out dancing. Sometimes your body feels like playing too. But when your body's tired from playing and dancing. There's just one thing to do. Just go and

take a rest. Just take a rest. Put your head on your pillow and your hands on your chest. It's fun to be busy but sometimes it's best to take it slow. Take it easy, take a rest.

(repeat last verse)

Trivia

 * Whether resting is important depends. Generally adults need seven to nine hours of sleep, teens need eight to ten hours, children need ten to twelve hours, and toddlers need twelve to fourteen hours, which is why they take naps. Babies, like cats, sleep a lot. Sometimes sixteen hours a day! Some people need rest to recover from illnesses, and some after physical activity, however the more active you are the less likely you are to need rest after activity. I fall under the "very active" end of the scale.
