Ernie Writes Another Story Lyrics - Sesame Street

Ernie is at the typewriter, pecking away. Suddenly-- 

Ernie: "It's done! It's done! Hey Bert--it's done!" 

Bert: "What? What's done?" 

Ernie: "My story--greatest short story in the whole wide world, it's done. Greatest story in the world, wait'll you hear it." 

Bert: (groan) "Go ahead." 

Ernie: "A........B, C.......D......" 

Bert: "Ernie....." 

Ernie: "E, F,.....G...." 

Bert: "Ernie, that's the alphabet!" 

Ernie: "Now comes the sad part. (begins to cry) "H...I, J, K....." " 

Bert: "Ernie......" 

Ernie: ".......L, M, N, O...................P" 

Bert: "Oh, Ernie!" (shaking his head) 

Ernie: "Now comes the action part! (reads excitedly) "Q! R, S! T! U, V!" " 

Bert just groans 

Ernie: "Here comes the wind-up--"W, X, Y--" " 

Suddenly Ernie begins to roll up the paper. Berts turns to him. 

Bert: "Well?" 

Ernie: "Well what?" 

Bert: "Well go on, finish it. You went, "T, U, V, W, X, Y," and then you stopped. Go on, finish the story." 

Ernie: "And tell you how it ends? Then you'll never want to read it for yourself!" 

(Laughs and goes off) 

Bert: "Sighhhhhhhhhhhh......"
