Bert's Lament Lyrics - Sesame Street

I got this pain that I just can't deal with 

How I wish I had somebody to go and eat oatmeal with 

Oh gee, I really need a friend to play with me 

I'd give him friendship and affection 

I'd even let him come and see my paper clip collection 

Oh gee, I sure could use a friend to play with me 

In line he'd gladly stand 

To watch a marching band 

Or buy some saddle shoes (laugh) 

He'd worship argyle socks, collect them by the box 

He'd help me chase these blues 

My style would please him, more than a smidgeon 

He'd say, "It's really nifty Bert, the way you dance the pigeon" 

Oh gee, I gotta find a friend to play with me 

Won't somebody hear my plea? 

Wanna end this misery 

I wish I had a friend to play with me
