Bert: *pleasant sigh*
Ernie: Say, that sounds pretty nice, Bert!
Bert: NICE? Ernie, it's breathtaking!
Hey -- now everyone at home,
go get a can, or a pan, or a whistle,
or -- or whatever you can find, and you can join in too.
Ernie: Join in? Join in on what, Bert?
Bert: Well, you'll see Ernie, and I'll tell you what happened too. See --]
Bert: See, I was sitting around
Feeling so blue,
Trying to think what to
Think to do
Then--(CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)--
I suddenly heard something new.
I was sitting around
Trying to sleep
Practicing counting by
Counting sheep
When--(CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)--
I knew I had found something new.
It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on,
But it lightened up my life like a nightingale's sweet song!
And now I'm happy with my can and my pan
My whistle or two
'Cause now I know
What I just gotta do;
I go (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
I bet it'll do it for you!
Ernie: [Gee, that's nice, Bert! Hey--can I join in?
Bert: Ernie, everybody can join in!
Kids at home too. Ready? Here it comes...
(CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, HONK!)
Bert: AAAAhhh! Ernie, you ruined it!
Ernie: Well, I couldn't find a whistle, Bert!
Bert: Well, this time you rattle and I'll tweet.
Ernie: Okay, Bert! (HONK!)
Bert: ERNIE!
Ernie: I just had to put it down, Bert.
Bert: Well, control yourself, huh?
Ernie: Here we go ..
(CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
Ernie: There, I did it!]
Bert: *pleasant sigh*
It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on,
But it lightened up my life like a nightingale's sweet song
And now I'm happy with my can and my pan
(HONK!) My whistle or two (Ernie!) (Sorry ..)
Now I know what I just got to do;
I go (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE TWEET)
And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
I bet it'll do it for you!
Once more! -- (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
And again! -- (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
One last time! -- (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
I bet it'll do it for you! (TWEET!)
Bert: [It did it for me, I'll tell ya.]
Ernie: (HONK!)
