Bert: Ernie! Ernie! I've discovered something fantastic!
Listen ...

Ernie: That's fantastic, Bert!

Bert: Yeah, yeah! That's ME hitting this tin can with a spoon. And listen, this is .. this is me hitting this pan with a spoon ...
Pleasant sigh

Ernie: Well, that's very interesting, Bert ..

Bert: Yeah. Now, I shake the tin can .. .. you see,
It's got marbles inside!

Ernie: Uh-huh, yeah, that's nice ..

Bert: Yeah, yeah, and then I blow this whistle! Oh, Ernie! It's so wild! So wonderful!

Ernie: Gee, that doesn't seem so wonderful to me, Bert.

Bert: Well, maybe not but listen to what happens when I put them all together, Ernie ..


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
I suddenly heard something new.

I was sitting around
Trying to sleep
Practicing counting by
Counting sheep
When
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

And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And
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...


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!

Bert: Ernike

Ernie: I just had to put it down, Bert.

Bert: Well, control yourself, huh?

Ernie: Here we go ..


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
My whistle or two Ernie!
Sorry ..
Now I know what I just got to do;
I go
And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And
I bet it'll do it for you!
Once more!
And again!
One last time! I bet it'll do it for you!
Bert:It did it for me, I'll tell ya.
