Opening Sing-Along Theme

Ernie:

Let's sing a song that everybody knows!

A song that we've all heard before

The tune is simple we know how it goes

With simple words and nothing more

The steady rhythm and the harmony

Makes singing such an easy thing so.....

Let's sing a song that everybody knows

So that everyone can sing!



Bert:

Yeah! Like,

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain

The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see



Ernie:

And...

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

Down came the rain and washed the spider out

Up came the sun and dried up all the rain

So the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again



Bert:

I got one!

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z!

Now I know my ABC's. Next time won't you sing with me?



Ernie:

Or...

George Washington Bridge! George Washington Washington Bridge.

George Washington Bridge. George Washington Washington Bridge.

Here comes the sad part.

(sobbing) George Washington Bridge. George Washington Washington Bridge.



Bert: Ernie.........



Ernie:

But it ends really happy, Bert.

GEORGE WAHINGTON BRIDGE! GEORGE WASHINGTON WASHINGTON BRIDGE!



Together:

Oh! Let's sing a song that everybody knows!

A song that we've all heard before!

The tune is simple we know how it goes

With simple words and nothing more

The steady rhythm and the harmony

Makes singing such an easy thing so....

Let's sing a song that everybody knows

So that everyone can sing

So that everyone......can sing!
