I Refuse To Sing Along

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!
