Bert 

***** 

**** 

[Watery sounds] 

Yanky Doodle went to town 

a-riding on his pony... 

Ahhh, I love taking my bath, peace and 

quiet, 

all alone. 

[knock-knock-knock knock-knock] 

[Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock] 

...and called it macaroni 

Oh! two, three.... 

Hi buddy Bert 

Oh, hi Ernie, oh hey will you close 

the door, Ernie there's a draft. 

oh just a second Bert. 

Ern... Ernie 

what are you do...? 

You can't push the piano through the 

bathroom door. 

why, sure I can, Bert, watch... 

[Grunt, bump, grunt, tinkle, KA-bump] 

Aahhgh! 

..see 

Ernie? 

*Klech-ksh-crsh-sh-sh* 

Wh-WHAT are you doing with 

a piano 

in the bathroom!? 

Oh Bert! I heard you singing in 

the tubby there 

Yeh? 

and so I thought I 

would just come and sing along 

I don't WANT you to sing-along, 

But... 

I want you to get out. 

...but everybody sounds better 

singing in the bathroom Bert. 

You know... 

I don't want the piano in here Ernie. 

...well Sure, Bert, what's a 

sing-along without a piano? 

[starts to play piano] 

It's ME, that's what it is... Alone! 

listen to that Bert 

Stop that playing. 

doesn't that sound nice 

Stop it right now. 

doesn't that make you just want 

to sing-along. 

...makes me want to see you 

out of here. 

No, Bert, listen: 

[sings] 

Gee, Bert 

what? 

It's so much fun 

no, it's not 

I know you'll like it 

...I won't like it. 

once you've begun 

...I won't begin! 

Ernie I have to scrub my toes 

I've got to wash my hair. 

We, Bert 

what? 

could have a ball 

no way! 

if I could get you 

*simmer* 

to sing at all 

[ends song but plays for Bert] 

NO!... 

[sings] 

I refuse to sing-al 

ong. 

I won't. 

but, Bert... 

So please don't ask me if I want to 

'cause I don't. 

Pretty Please...? 

Although for you I would do 

almost anything, 

Really? 

along is one way which I 

do not want to sing. 

But, listen... 

[Sings] 

ol' bud-dy... 

It will make you Happy 

when you start to sing a Snappy 

little number that will 

bounce you right along. 

no... 

Like "Farmer in the Dell" or 

"Old MacDonald had a Farm" or 

maybe "What's the Name of that Song". 

No! 

So if you use alot of voice 

you'll love it that you've got a voice 

and even if the notes you sing are wrong 

Ernie! 

you'll do a favor for us 

if you lift your voice in chorus 

for a swinging sing-along song. 

E: It will make you Hap - py 

B: I re - fuse

B: don't ask me if
