Bert: well, you'll see ernie, and i'll tell you what happened too. see --)

Bert: see, i was sitting around
Feeling so blue,
Trying to think what to
Think to do
Then--(clink, clank, rattle, tweet)--
I suddenly heard something new.

I was sitting around
Trying to sleep
Practicing counting by
Counting sheep
When--(clink, clank, rattle, tweet)--
I knew i had found something new.

It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on,
But it lightened up my life like a nightingale's sweet song!

And now i'm happy with my can and my pan
My whistle or two
'cause now i know
What i just gotta do;
I go (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
I bet it'll do it for you!

Ernie: (gee, that's nice, bert! hey--can i join in?

Bert: ernie, everybody can join in! kids at home too. ready? here it comes...

(clink, clank, rattle, honk!)

Bert: aaaahhh! ernie, you ruined it!

Ernie: well, i couldn't find a whistle, bert!

Bert: well, this time you rattle and i'll tweet.

Ernie: okay, bert! (honk!)

Bert: ernie!

Ernie: i just had to put it down, bert.

Bert: well, control yourself, huh?

Ernie: here we go ..

(clink, clank, rattle, tweet)

Ernie: there, i did it!)

Bert: *pleasant sigh*

It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on,
But it lightened up my life like a nightingale's sweet song

And now i'm happy with my can and my pan
(honk!) my whistle or two (ernie!) (sorry ..)
Now i know what i just got to do;
I go (clink, clank, rattle tweet)
And the sky is all sunny and blue,
And (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
I bet it'll do it for you!
Once more! -- (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
And again! -- (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
One last time! -- (clink, clank, rattle, tweet)
I bet it'll do it for you! (tweet!)

Bert: (it did it for me, i'll tell ya.)

Ernie: (honk!)
