I Refuse To Sing Along - Bert, Ernie, Sesame Street

Ernie: Gee, Bert, it’s so much fun, I know you’ll like it once we’ve begun

Bert: Ernie, I’ve gotta wash my hair, I’ve gotta scrub my toes

Ernie: We Bert, will have a ball, if I can get you to sing at all

Bert: No, I refuse to sing along I won’t

So please don’t ask me if I want to 'cause I don’t

Although for you I would do almost anything

Along is one way which I do not want to sing

Ernie: Ole Buddy, it’ll make you happy

When you start to sing a snappy

Little number that will bounce you right along

Bert: No!

Ernie: Like «Farmer In The Dell» or «Old McDonald Had A Farm» or maybe «What's The Name Of That Song»

Bert: No

Ernie: So if you have a lot of choice

You’ll love it that you’ve got a voice

And even though the notes you sing are wrong

Bert: ERNIE!

Ernie: You’ll do a favor for us

If you lift your voice in chorus

For a swinging sing along song

(Duet: singing these parts at the same time)

Bert: I refuse to sing along I won’t

So please don’t ask me if I want to 'cause I don’t

Although for you I would do almost anything

Along is one way which I do not want to sing

Ernie: Ole Buddy, it’ll 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 McDonald Had A Farm» or maybe «What's The Name Of That Song»

So if you have a lot of choice

You’ll love it that you’ve got a voice

And even though the notes you sing are wrong

You’ll do a favor for us

If you lift your voice in chorus

For a swinging sing along song

Bert: Ernie!!!

Ernie: Please Bert, you’ll like it too

We’ll sing together, just me and you

Bert: AARGH!

No, I refuse to sing along that’s it!!!

And in the bathroom it’s ridiculous, I quit!

That’s that!

That’s that!

Ernie: Gee Bert, that was terrific!
