Opening Sing-along Theme Lyrics - Sesame Street

Ernie: 

Let's sing a song that everybody knows! 

A song that we've all heard before 

The tune is simple we know how it goes 

With simple words and nothing more 

The steady rhythm and the harmony 

Makes singing such an easy thing so..... 

Let's sing a song that everybody knows 

So that everyone can sing! 

Bert: 

Yeah! Like, 

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain 

The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see 

Ernie: 

And... 

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout 

Down came the rain and washed the spider out 

Up came the sun and dried up all the rain 

So the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again 

Bert: 

I got one! 

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z! 

Now I know my ABC's. Next time won't you sing with me? 

Ernie: 

Or... 

George Washington Bridge! George Washington Washington Bridge. 

George Washington Bridge. George Washington Washington Bridge. 

Here comes the sad part. 

(sobbing) George Washington Bridge. George Washington Washington Bridge. 

Bert: Ernie......... 

Ernie: 

But it ends really happy, Bert. 

GEORGE WAHINGTON BRIDGE! GEORGE WASHINGTON WASHINGTON BRIDGE! 

Together: 

Oh! Let's sing a song that everybody knows! 

A song that we've all heard before! 

The tune is simple we know how it goes 

With simple words and nothing more 

The steady rhythm and the harmony 

Makes singing such an easy thing so.... 

Let's sing a song that everybody knows 

So that everyone can sing 

So that everyone......can sing!
