It’s such a good feeling,  
A very good feeling.  
The feeling you know, that I’ll be back  
When the day is new.  
And I’ll have more ideas for you.  
And you’ll have things you’ll want to talk about.  
I will too.

Sunny day, sweeping 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?

I do not find Seattle a depressing place to live. It would take more than clouds to obscure the beauty of her landscape and more than drizzle to dampen the warmth and good fellowship that makes Seattle the only place in this bad old world that I care to call home.

Like a beautiful child  
Growing up, free and wild.  
Full of hopes and full of fears,  
Full of laughter, full of tears,  
Full of dreams to last a year  
In Seattle.

New York is where I’d rather stay.  
I get allergic smelling hay.  
I just adore a penthouse view.  
Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

No phone, no lights, no motor car,  
Not a single luxury,  
Like Robinson Crusoe,  
It’s primitive as can be.
