Sometimes I have trouble
Falling asleep.
But it's not so bad.
- Ernie, I'm trying to sleep.
I don't worry
And I don't weep.
- Ooooooh.
In fact I'm glad....
Be-cause I get up off my pillow
And I flip on the li-ight.
- Ernieee.
I get down and get hip
In the still of the night.
- Turn off the light, Ernie.
I stretch and I yawn and then I breathe real deep,
- Ooooooh...
And dance myself to sleep!
- Don't dance, please don't dance...
I hoof around my beddie
Just a-tappin my toes.
- He's dancing...
Before I know what's happened
I'm a-ready to doze.
- Oooh...
Got some partners I can count on called the Boogie Woogie Sheep
- What?!?
I dance myself to sleep!
I gently rock-a-bye myself across the floor.
- What are those sheep doing?
I turn and then I toss and then I start to snore.
- Ernie!
My trusty little bugle helps me spread the news
- Oh, not the bugle.
That I'm tappin' to "Taps"
And I'm a-rarin' to snooze!
(Smokin' bugle routine by Boogie-Woogie Sheep begins, interspersed with
comments by Bert)
Ooooh, they're playing the bugle!
What are these sheep doing?
Ernie...
The sheep - they're tap dancing!
Ernie, *please* take the sheep out, let me sleep.
Ooooh.....
Wh-Where did the sheep get tap shoes?
Getaway, getaway, getaway, getaway!
Ernie, will you please tell the sheep to put my bed down!
Stop. Getaway from me, getaway, getaway, getaway!
Thank you.
Waitaminit, wait! Don't take ME out!
(bugle solo ends)
ERNIE:
Well, I'm gettin' kinda drowsy
So the moment has come
- YOU'RE drowsy?
To grab my rubber duckie
While the sheep take my chum
- Take your chum!?!
Time to shuffle off to dreamland
Got a date to keep.
- Where're you taking me?
We'll dance ourselves to sleep, oh yeah --
- Wh-wait, what's going on?!?
We'll dance ourselves to sleep,
Wearin' our jammies.
- What are these sheep...what are they doing? Get away!
We'll dance ourselves to sleep,
And thank you, lambies.
- They're taking me outside!
We'll dance ourselves to sleep!
-Erniiiiiie!!!
