Il testo della 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.
