Sesame Street - Opening Sing-along Theme lyrics

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!
