Sesame Street - The Limerick Song (Come On and Sing Alon - Текст песни

Susan: Don't shout grouchy Oscar don't shout 
That's not what our singing's about 
So if you can't take 
The noise that we make 
Go back to your trashcan and pout 

All: Ooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 
Come on and sing-along with me 

Bob: (Hey, I got one!) 

Various voices urge him to share 

Bob: A furry blue monster named Herry 

Herry: (Hey, that's me!) 

Bob: When asked Are you strong? replied Very! 
Then just for a laugh 
He tore 3 cars in half 
Now I ask Is that necessary? 

All: Oooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 
Come on and sing-along with me 

The Count: (Oh, I have one!) 

85 bats hanging in the steeple 
One bat flies in through the door 
That makes 86 ... 

(splash sound) 

Ernie: (Sorry everybody, I have one!) 

Bert: (Do you have a towel, Ernie?) 

Ernie: (No, Bert, I have a verse.) 

Bert: (Oh no.) 

Ernie: (It goes like this.) 
You all know our good buddy Bert 

Bert: (oh no) 

Ernie: Whose feelings are easily hurt 
When his friends all play dressup, ol' Bert has to fess up 

Bert: Yeah, I'm always the one in the skirt ...( and I don't like it...) 

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 
Come on and sing-along with me 

Bert: (Excuse me, I have one.) (various voices urge him on) (Yeah, you'll love it, it's really groovy. Ahem.) 
There once was a man named McDowell 
Who planted a tree with a trowel 
Then he got in a shower, where he stayed for an hour 
and said - SOMEBODY GIVE ME A TOWEL!! 

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 
Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 
ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 
Come on and sing-along with me 
Come on and sing-along with me 

At the end of the original record is heard this cute exchange: 

Ernie: Okay, you can turn it over now. 

Herry: Sure thing, Ernie. 

(sound of piano crashing) 

Ernie: Herry! Not the piano! The record! Turn over the record! 

Herry (meekly): Sorry.
