Sweet Adeline Lyrics - Sesame Street

Bumble Artie had a party 

On his birthday number nine 

Which isn't bad--in fact, it's fine 

Except he asked nine swine to come at (?) for birthday cake and wine. 

Except his mom, Sweet Adeline 

Who went to work at nine past nine 

Just hated swine to drink her wine 

(?) 

So--he simply didn't tell her 

At nine past nine, the pigs and swine broke down the door 

And gobbled cake and oinked nine grunts 

And pulled nine kinds of dirty stunts! 

(The pigs throw dishes around, dance on the table, and draw pictures on the wall.) 

The house looked like a stinking sty, 

And Bumble Artie had to cry 

When all nine swine cried, "Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! 

May Bumble live nine hundred years!" 

Which isn't bad. 

In fact, it's fine 

Except, just then, Sweet Adeline, 

Who finished work at (half?) past nine 

And hurried home so she could dine 

With Bumble on his birthday nine 

And found, instead, nine squealing swine, 

Began to shriek and shake and whine: 

"I'll give you pigs 'til number nine to split! 

Get lost! Vamoose! Just scram, or else I'll slice you into ham!" 

(She holds up nine fingers, one at a time. As she hold up each one, a pig rushes out and slams the door.) 

Nine times the door slammed. 

(Door slams once more.) 

Then again. 

"How odd," thought Adeline; "it's ten." 

And then a voice cried, meek and humble, 

"Please let me in. It's your boy, Bumble." 

So Adeline, that mom divine 

Took in her Bumble valentine 

And kissed him nine times over nine 

Which isn't bad . . . 

In fact, it's fine
