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.
