SPOKEN:
Ernie: What are you doing, Bert?
Bert: Sitting and thinking.
Ernie: Thinking about what?
Bert: My favorite number.
Ernie: Oh? That`s really ... boring, Bert.
Bert: Not my number, Ernie.
Ernie: Well, what is your favorite number?
Bert: I thought you`d never ask ...
SUNG:
Bert: Six
Ernie: Six?
Bert: My favorite number is six
Ernie: Bert, nobody`s favorite number is six.
Bert: Sometimes I spend the whole afternoon
Sitting around, and singing a tune about
Six
Ernie: Six, hmm?
Bert: Sometimes I think of six bricks.
Ernie: Bert, that`s very boring.
Bert: Or else I think of six sticks
Ernie: Well, that`s even more boring.
Bert: Not five bricks or stick, but six
Now two is your eyes and one`s your nose
And five is your fingers or your toes
And four is the legs on an easy chair
Yet there`s no number can compare with
Six
Ernie: How about 9 or 3?
Bert: Nothing more lovely than six
Ernie: I don`t know, Bert ...
Bert: When someone says, Hey, Bert, pick a number
Well, I always pick the one nobody picks --
My favorite number is six.
SPOKEN:
Ernie: You know, I hate to break this to you, Bert, but six isn`t anybody`s favorite number.
Bert: It`s my favorite number, Ernie.
Ernie: I mean, six just sort of sits there between five and seven. You know, you have five fingers on your hand, and there are seven days in a week, but there`s not really six of anything.
Bert: I know, Ernie, I know.
SUNG:
Now two is your eyes and one`s your nose
And five is your fingers or your toes
And four is the legs on an easy chair
But there`s no number can compare with
Six
Ernie: All right, Bert ...
Bert: Nothing more lovely than six.
Ernie: Have it your way.
When someone says, Hey, Bert, pick a number
Well, I always pick the one nobody picks --
My favorite number is six.
SPOKEN:
Bert: What are you doing, Ernie, can I sit in my chair now, huh?
Ernie: Not right now, I`m thinking about my favorite number.
Bert: What is it, Ernie, what is it?
Ernie: 8,243,721.
Bert: I still like six.
