Lyrics of La la la

Ernie: (hi, bert.)

Bert: (oh. hi, ernie. hey, i've been sitting here trying to think of what we can do with this here, letter "l".)

Ernie: (oh. well, let's see. you know one thing, you can sing sort of a "la la la" song with the letter "l".)

Bert: (uh, what do you mean?)

Ernie: (well, there are all kinds of pretty words that begin with "l".) (music starts.) (you know, you can sing a few "la la la's" and some pretty words, and you'd have a nice little song.)

Bert: ("la la la," like that?)

Ernie: (sure. go ahead. try it.)

Bert: (o.k. let's see, uh,..)
La, la, la, la . . . lemon
La, la, la, la, light bulb

Ernie: (uh-huh.)

Bert: la, la, la, la, lamp post (this is fun.)
La, la, la, la, lump in my oatmeal

Ernie: (well, that's not quite what i was thinking about, bert.)

Bert: (no?)

Ernie: (i mean there are a lot of pretty "l" words, and i was sort of thinking of the ones that are more lilting and lovely. you know like...)
La, la, la, la, laughter

Bert: (oh, yeah. i see.)

Ernie: la, la, la, la, lullaby

Bert: (oh, like that. huh?)

Ernie: la, la, la, la, lollypop

Bert: (ahhhhhh!)

Ernie: la, la, la, la, lights in the sky.

Bert: (oh! oh! ernie, i've got a great "l" word! this is a beauty. oh, listen to this.)
La, la, la, linoleum!

Ernie: (ah, no, bert, uh..)
Listen to me
'cause "l" is such a lovely letter
For words like "licorice" and "lace"
The letter "l" lights up your face
So why not la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Bert: la, la, la, la, laaaaaaah

Ernie: ...with me?

(bert laughs.)
