Ernie Writes Another Story — текст песни (Sesame Street)

Ernie is at the typewriter, pecking away. Suddenly--

Ernie: It`s done! It`s done! Hey Bert--it`s done!

Bert: What? What`s done?

Ernie: My story--greatest short story in the whole wide world, it`s done. Greatest story in the world, wait`ll you hear it.

Bert: (groan) Go ahead.

Ernie: A........B, C.......D......

Bert: Ernie.....

Ernie: E, F,.....G....

Bert: Ernie, that`s the alphabet!

Ernie: Now comes the sad part. (begins to cry) H...I, J, K.....

Bert: Ernie......

Ernie: .......L, M, N, O...................P

Bert: Oh, Ernie! (shaking his head)

Ernie: Now comes the action part! (reads excitedly) Q! R, S! T! U, V!

Bert just groans

Ernie: Here comes the wind-up--W, X, Y--

Suddenly Ernie begins to roll up the paper. Berts turns to him.

Bert: Well?

Ernie: Well what?

Bert: Well go on, finish it. You went, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and then you stopped. Go on, finish the story.

Ernie: And tell you how it ends? Then you`ll never want to read it for yourself!

(Laughs and goes off)

Bert: Sighhhhhhhhhhhh......
