Sesame Street - Six - Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Sesame Street lyrics

SPOKEN: Ernie: What are you doing, Bert? Bert: Sitting and thinking. Ernie: Thinking about what? Bert: My favorite number. Ernie: Oh? That's really ... boring, Bert. Bert: Not my number, Ernie. Ernie: Well, what is your favorite number? Bert: I thought you'd never ask ... SUNG: Bert: Six Ernie: Six? Bert: My favorite number is six Ernie: Bert, nobody's favorite number is six. Bert: Sometimes I spend the whole afternoon Sitting around, and singing a tune about Six Ernie: Six, hmm? Bert: Sometimes I think of six bricks. Ernie: Bert, that's very boring. Bert: Or else I think of six sticks Ernie: Well, that's even more boring. Bert: Not five bricks or stick, but six Now two is your eyes and one's your nose And five is your fingers or your toes And four is the legs on an easy chair Yet there's no number can compare with Six Ernie: How about 9 or 3? Bert: Nothing more lovely than six Ernie: I don't know, Bert ... Bert: When someone says, "Hey, Bert, pick a number" Well, I always pick the one nobody picks -- My favorite number is six. SPOKEN: Ernie: You know, I hate to break this to you, Bert, but six isn't anybody's favorite number. Bert: It's my favorite number, Ernie. Ernie: I mean, six just sort of sits there between five and seven. You know, you have five fingers on your hand, and there are seven days in a week, but there's not really six of anything. Bert: I know, Ernie, I know. SUNG: Now two is your eyes and one's your nose And five is your fingers or your toes And four is the legs on an easy chair But there's no number can compare with Six Ernie: All right, Bert ... Bert: Nothing more lovely than six. Ernie: Have it your way. When someone says, "Hey, Bert, pick a number" Well, I always pick the one nobody picks -- My favorite number is six. SPOKEN: Bert: What are you doing, Ernie, can I sit in my chair now, huh? Ernie: Not right now, I'm thinking about my favorite number. Bert: What is it, Ernie, what is it? Ernie: 8,243,721. Bert: I still like six.
