Sesame Street - The Limerick Song (Come On and Sing Along with Me) lyrics

Sesame Street Miscellaneous The Limerick Song (Come On and Sing Along with Me) 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
