Loud And Soft Lyrics - Sesame Street

Bert: "Hey Ernie! Hey Ern.." 

Ernie: "Hey there, Bert." 

Bert: "Hi. Listen the radio is playing soft and then loud. Something wrong?" 

Ernie: "That's the volume control, Bert. See this little button here? That's the volume control." 

Bert: "Yeah, you're the one that's doin that, huh?" 

Ernie: "And when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play louder." 

Bert: "Yeah, I know. See, I'm tryin to read over there..." 

Ernie: "And then Bert, when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play softer." 

Bert: "Good, I like it just that way Ernie, soft." 

Ernie: "But I think, I think I like most of all, is when I turn the radio up loud." 

Bert: "Ernie! Ernie! That's too loud. You're making the radio play very very loudly!" 

Ernie: "Bert, don't yell, I'm tryin to listen to the radio!" 

Bert: "I will yell Ernie! I will yell! I have every right to yell! I'll yell and yell and yell because I can't hear myself any other way!" 

(Ernie turns off the radio) 

Bert: "Ernie! Now, you really do not care if I want some peace and quiet do you?" 

Ernie: "I wonder what would happen if I took the knob off this radio..." 

Bert: "You know you really have no consideration for people, do you?" 

Ernie: "C'mere Bert." 

Bert: "What're you doing?" 

Ernie: "I'm gonna put the volume control on you." 

Bert: "Wha! I am not a radio, Ernie! Now cut that out!" 

Ernie: "And now I think I'll turn the volume a little lower..." 

Bert: (In a softer voice) "You know you cannot do that to people, they wanna talk, they're not radios. And I wanna talk and I'll tell you one thing...." 

(Ernie turns the volume up) 

Bert: (In a louder voice) "I have been trying to read over there! I have been trying to read for so long......." 

(Ernie turns the volume down) 

Bert: (In a softer voice) "And I hear the radio going up and down, up and down, up and down. And I don't want that. I want....." 

(Ernie turns Bert off) 

Ernie: "Keeheeheehee." 

(Ernie leaves Bert there with his mouth flapping and no sound coming out)
