La la la Lyrics

Ernie:
[Hi, Bert.]

Bert:
[Oh. Hi, Ernie. Hey, I've been sitting here trying to think of what we can do with this here, letter "L".]
Ernie:
[Oh. Well, let's see. You know one thing, you can sing sort of a "La La La" song with the letter "L".]

Bert:
[Uh, what do you mean?]

Ernie:
[Well, there are all kinds of pretty words that begin with "L".]
(Music starts.)
[You know, you can sing a few "La La La's" and some pretty words, and you'd have a nice little song.]

Bert:
["La La La," like that?]

Ernie:
[Sure. Go ahead. Try it.]

Bert:
[O.K. Let's see, uh,..]
La, la, la, la . . . lemon
La, la, la, la, light bulb

Ernie:
[Uh-huh.]

Bert:
La, la, la, la, lamp post
[This is fun.]
La, la, la, la, lump in my oatmeal
Ernie:
[Well, that's not quite what I was thinking about, Bert.]

Bert:
[No?]

Ernie:
[I mean there are a lot of pretty "L" words, and I was sort of thinking of the ones that are more lilting and lovely. You know like...]
La, la, la, la, laughter

Bert:
[Oh, yeah. I see.]

Ernie:
La, la, la, la, lullaby

Bert:
[Oh, like that. Huh?]

Ernie:
La, la, la, la, lollypop
Bert:
[Ahhhhhh!]

Ernie:
La, la, la, la, lights in the sky.

Bert:
[Oh! Oh! Ernie, I've got a GREAT "L" word! This is a beauty. Oh, listen to this.]
La, la, la, LINOLEUM!

Ernie:
[Ah, no, Bert, uh..]
Listen to me
'Cause "L" is such a lovely letter
For words like "licorice" and "lace"
The letter "L" lights up your face
So why not la, la, la, la, laaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Bert:
La, la, la, la, laaaaaaah

Ernie:
...with me?

(Bert laughs.)
