3. Yes We Can, Can -- Pointer Sisters
4. One Thing Leads To Another -- Judy Collins with Biff
5. Sing After Me -- Madeline Kahn with Grover
6. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow -- Judy Collins with the Sesame Street Kids
7. Oh What A Beautiful Morning -- Ray Charles
8. How Do You Do -- Lena Horne with Grover
9. Five Feet High And Rising -- Johnny Cash with Biff
10. A World Without Music -- Jose Feliciano with the Sesame Street Kids

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whether they bring pleasure or sorrow.
Time is something no one can borrow. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Yesterday is gone. It's all "Remember when?" Yesterday is passed. It never comes again
Yesterday was bright or yesterday was gray; but all I know is how I feel today.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whether they bring pleasure or sorrow.
Time is something no one can borrow. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.


Tomorrow never comes. It's always on the way. For yesterday's tomorrow has become today.
We miss what's very close by looking off so far. We all can learn. Today is where we are.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whether they bring pleasure or sorrow.
Time is something no one can borrow. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.


Today is all there is. Today is not too late. Today's the only day we have to celebrate.
For yesterday is gone. Tomorrow's far away. And everyone is living in today.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whether they bring pleasure or sorrow.
Time is something no one can borrow. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.
