(Watery sounds)
Yanky Doodle went to town
a-riding on his pony...
Ahhh, I love taking my bath, peace and
quiet,
all alone.
(knock-knock-knock knock-knock)
(Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock)
...and called it macaroni
Oh! two, three....
Hi buddy Bert
Oh, hi Ernie, oh hey will you close
the door, Ernie there's a draft.
oh just a second Bert.
Ern... Ernie
what are you do...?
You can't push the piano through the
bathroom door.
why, sure I can, Bert, watch...
(Grunt, bump, grunt, tinkle, KA-bump)
Aahhgh!

Ernie?
*Klech-ksh-crsh-sh-sh*
Wh-WHAT are you doing with
a piano
in the bathroom!?
Oh Bert! I heard you singing in
the tubby there
Yeh?
and so I thought I
would just come and sing along
I don't WANT you to sing-along,
But...
I want you to get out.
...but everybody sounds better
singing in the bathroom Bert.
You know...
I don't want the piano in here Ernie.
...well Sure, Bert, what's a
sing-along without a piano?
(starts to play piano)
It's ME, that's what it is... Alone!
listen to that Bert
Stop that playing.
doesn't that sound nice

Stop it right now.
doesn't that make you just want
to sing-along.
...makes me want to see you
out of here.
No, Bert, listen:
(sings)
Gee, Bert
what?
It's so much fun
no, it's not
I know you'll like it
...I won't like it.
once you've begun
...I won't begin!
Ernie I have to scrub my toes
I've got to wash my hair.
We, Bert

no way!
if I could get you
*simmer*
to sing at all
(ends song but plays for Bert)
NO!...
(sings)
I refuse to sing-al

I won't.
but, Bert...
So please don't ask me if I want to
'cause I don't.
Pretty Please...?
Although for you I would do
almost anything,
Really?
along is one way which I
do not want to sing.
But, listen...
(Sings)
ol' bud-dy...
It will make you Happy
when you start to sing a Snappy
little number that will
bounce you right along.

Like "Farmer in the Dell" or
"Old MacDonald had a Farm" or
maybe "What's the Name of that Song".
No!
So if you use alot of voice
you'll love it that you've got a voice
and even if the notes you sing are wrong
