Bert: *pleasant sigh* 

Ernie: Say, that sounds pretty nice, Bert! 

Bert: NICE? Ernie, it's breathtaking! Hey -- now everyone at home, go get a can, or a pan, or a whistle, or -- or whatever you can find, and you can join in too. 

Ernie: Join in? Join in on what, Bert? 

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)

And again! -- (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET) 

One last time! -- (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
