The Limerick Song (come On And Sing Along With Me) Lyrics - Sesame Street

Susan: Don't shout grouchy Oscar don't shout 

That's not what our singing's about 

So if you can't take 

The noise that we make 

Go back to your trashcan and pout 

All: Ooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 

Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 

ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 

Come on and sing-along with me 

Bob: (Hey, I got one!) 

Various voices urge him to share 

Bob: A furry blue monster named Herry 

Herry: (Hey, that's me!) 

Bob: When asked "Are you strong?" replied "Very!" 

Then just for a laugh 

He tore 3 cars in half 

Now I ask "Is that necessary?" 

All: Oooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 

Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 

ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 

Come on and sing-along with me 

The Count: (Oh, I have one!) 

85 bats hanging in the steeple 

One bat flies in through the door 

That makes 86 ... 

(splash sound) 

Ernie: (Sorry everybody, I have one!) 

Bert: (Do you have a towel, Ernie?) 

Ernie: (No, Bert, I have a verse.) 

Bert: (Oh no.) 

Ernie: (It goes like this.) 

You all know our good buddy Bert 

Bert: (oh no) 

Ernie: Whose feelings are easily hurt 

When his friends all play dressup, ol' Bert has to fess up 

Bert: Yeah, I'm always the one in the skirt ...( and I don't like it...) 

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 

Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 

ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 

Come on and sing-along with me 

Bert: (Excuse me, I have one.) (various voices urge him on) (Yeah, you'll love it, it's really groovy. Ahem.) 

There once was a man named McDowell 

Who planted a tree with a trowel 

Then he got in a shower, where he stayed for an hour 

and said - "SOMEBODY GIVE ME A TOWEL!!" 

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree 

Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee 

ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee 

Come on and sing-along with me 

Come on and sing-along with me 

At the end of the original record is heard this cute exchange: 

Ernie: Okay, you can turn it over now. 

Herry: Sure thing, Ernie. 

(sound of piano crashing) 

Ernie: Herry! Not the piano! The record! Turn over the record! 

Herry (meekly): Sorry.
