I'm trying to find the lyrics for this song. It wasn't sung by muppets, but during one of those little vignettes that were interspersed throughout the show. It was sung by a lady with, um, a very rich tone of voice. It included the lyrics "I am the sun, the moon, the stars/I am the planets Jupiter and Mars", and ended "I am the world." It was very bizarre and cosmic for my little mind, and I'd like to see what I can do with it with my grown-up mind. Any help?

It sounds like a Romper Room song I asked about a few weeks ago. It certainly scans the same way:

Bend and stretch, reach for the stars
There goes Jupiter, here comes Mars

Did you ever watch Romper Room as a kid? Miss Whatshername from Romper Room had a pretty rich contralto voice...

Just a thought...

Malaka, thanks for the link, but they don't seem to have the one I'm thinking of. Fenris, I'm quite sure that's not the song I'm looking for, but thank you anyway.

I'm pretty sure that was sung by the woman who played the (human) character Olivia.

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To happy people like you--
Happy people like
What a beautiful

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street...

How to get to Sesame Street

How to get to...

Lyrics to "Who Am I?" (http://members.xoom.com/oroborus12/whoami.html)

Shamelessly having used Gatsby's link, and the fact that I seem to remeber having heard "Who am I?" sung throughout the song, I located it in their most impressive list, right near the end. By the way, it looks like zgystardst was right about the vocalist.
