Ernie: Hey, Bert, did you ever think about all the things you like? 

Bert: Well sure, Ernie, but not now, huh? 

Ernie: Yeah but, just tell me something you like, Bert. 

Bert: Ernie, I'm trying to sleep. 

Ernie: Oh come on, Bert, just one. Just name one thing that you like okay? Name just one. 

Bert: Alright, Ernie, I'll try.

In bed at night and talk to you

'Cause I like you
