You mean "to" all things?

I believe you have the words wrong. The first verse is:
Sunnyt 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?
(It may be "chasing" or something instead of "sweeping.")
The *second* verse goes something like:
Come and play.
everything's A-OK.
Friendly neighbors there,
that's where we meet.
Can you tell me...
