La La La Lyrics - Sesame Street

Ernie: [Hi, Bert.] 

Bert: [Oh. Hi, Ernie. Hey, I've been sitting here trying to think of what we can do with this here, letter "L".] 

Ernie: [Oh. Well, let's see. You know one thing, you can sing sort of a "La La La" song with the letter "L".] 

Bert: [Uh, what do you mean?] 

Ernie: [Well, there are all kinds of pretty words that begin with "L".] (Music starts.) [You know, you can sing a few "La La La's" and some pretty words, and you'd have a nice little song.] 

Bert: ["La La La," like that?] 

Ernie: [Sure. Go ahead. Try it.] 

Bert: [O.K. Let's see, uh,..] 

La, la, la, la . . . lemon 

La, la, la, la, light bulb 

Ernie: [Uh-huh.] 

Bert: La, la, la, la, lamp post [This is fun.] 

La, la, la, la, lump in my oatmeal 

Ernie: [Well, that's not quite what I was thinking about, Bert.] 

Bert: [No?] 

Ernie: [I mean there are a lot of pretty "L" words, and I was sort of thinking of the ones that are more lilting and lovely. You know like...] 

La, la, la, la, laughter 

Bert: [Oh, yeah. I see.] 

Ernie: La, la, la, la, lullaby 

Bert: [Oh, like that. Huh?] 

Ernie: La, la, la, la, lollypop 

Bert: [Ahhhhhh!] 

Ernie: La, la, la, la, lights in the sky. 

Bert: [Oh! Oh! Ernie, I've got a GREAT "L" word! This is a beauty. Oh, listen to this.] 

La, la, la, LINOLEUM! 

Ernie: [Ah, no, Bert, uh..] 

Listen to me 

'Cause "L" is such a lovely letter 

For words like "licorice" and "lace" 

The letter "L" lights up your face 

So why not la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaaah... 

Bert: La, la, la, la, laaaaaaah 

Ernie: ...with me? 

(Bert laughs.)
