Loud And Soft — текст песни (Sesame Street)

Bert: Hey Ernie! Hey Ern..

Ernie: Hey there, Bert.

Bert: Hi. Listen the radio is playing soft and then loud. Something wrong?

Ernie: That`s the volume control, Bert. See this little button here? That`s the volume control.

Bert: Yeah, you`re the one that`s doin that, huh?

Ernie: And when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play louder.

Bert: Yeah, I know. See, I`m tryin to read over there...

Ernie: And then Bert, when I turn the knob this way, it makes the radio play softer.

Bert: Good, I like it just that way Ernie, soft.

Ernie: But I think, I think I like most of all, is when I turn the radio up loud.

Bert: Ernie! Ernie! That`s too loud. You`re making the radio play very very loudly!

Ernie: Bert, don`t yell, I`m tryin to listen to the radio!

Bert: I will yell Ernie! I will yell! I have every right to yell! I`ll yell and yell and yell because I can`t hear myself any other way!

(Ernie turns off the radio)

Bert: Ernie! Now, you really do not care if I want some peace and quiet do you?

Ernie: I wonder what would happen if I took the knob off this radio...

Bert: You know you really have no consideration for people, do you?

Ernie: C`mere Bert.

Bert: What`re you doing?

Ernie: I`m gonna put the volume control on you.

Bert: Wha! I am not a radio, Ernie! Now cut that out!

Ernie: And now I think I`ll turn the volume a little lower...

Bert: (In a softer voice) You know you cannot do that to people, they wanna talk, they`re not radios. And I wanna talk and I`ll tell you one thing....

(Ernie turns the volume up)

Bert: (In a louder voice) I have been trying to read over there! I have been trying to read for so long.......

(Ernie turns the volume down)

Bert: (In a softer voice) And I hear the radio going up and down, up and down, up and down. And I don`t want that. I want.....

(Ernie turns Bert off)

Ernie: Keeheeheehee.

(Ernie leaves Bert there with his mouth flapping and no sound coming out)
