Ernie And Bert Do The Laundry — текст песни (Sesame Street)





Scene: A rather elaborate room, wallpapered and rather cluttered, a grandfather clock stands in the corner. In fact the Cluttered Room was only in a few skits, was it an early attempt at redecorating? Bert walks in on Ernie, who`s basically fiddling around.

Bert: Ernie--look at this! Ernie, when are you going to clean your room? [Does this explain why Ernie and Bert share a bedroom? That said bedroom is actually Bert`s room--it`s tidy enough--and Ernie sleeps there because there is no room in his own? Makes sense to me.]

Ernie: Tuesday after next, I think. Tuesday after next is when I was planning to clean the room.

Bert: Anyway, Ernie, it`s your turn to go to the laundromat. Take the clothes basket and go on down.

Ernie: Okay, no trouble. (He picks up the basket, which is empty, and heads off)

Bert: Ernie, wait a minute! Aren`t you forgetting something?

Ernie: Oh yeah, I forgot! (gets something) Rubber Ducky! (squeaks him) Okay, off we go! (starts off again)

Bert: Wait a minute, Ernie, are you forgetting something else? Something important?

Ernie: (pauses to think) Oh yeah ... a radio! (puts one in the basket) Have to have a radio, you know, play music down there. Okay, we`re off! (tries again to leave)

Bert: Aren`t you forgetting something else?

Ernie: (thinks again) Oh yeah, books! (puts them in the basket. In fact Ernie keeps piling more and more stuff into the laundry basket as he speaks.) Books, so I can read a story to Rubber Ducky while we wait! Oh yeah, and a basketball, in case someone starts a game while we`re down there! And I`ll take an umbrella, just in case it starts raining! Coloring books and a box of crayons, so Rubber Ducky and I can color while we wait for the laundry to get done! And--

Bert: ERNIE!!

Ernie: Did I forget something else, Bert?

Bert: Ernie, you forgot to put the LAUNDRY in the laundry basket!

Ernie: Oh no!

Bert: Yes, and now the laundry basket is so full of junk, there`s no room to put the laundry in!

Ernie: Oh no! That means there`s only one thing I can do! (he goes off briefly)

Bert: Yes, and that is ...

Ernie: (reappears with ball and mitt) That means I`ll just have to go and play baseball! Bye-bye! Kkehehehehe!
