Letra The Rhyming Game de Sesame Street original
Bert: (reading an oatmeal recipe book, 'Cooking With Oatmeal') 'You take four cups of oatmeal...two pitted mangoes...' Ernie: 'Hey Bert!' B: '...buttermilk...' E: 'Hey Bert! It's time for the rhyming game Bert!' B: 'Oh, no Ernie, thanks, I don't want to play a game, I'm reading my book.' E: 'Oh, but you'll love this game, Bert! See all you have to do is, you say something, and then I'll say something that rhymes with what you just said!' B: 'Uh-huh, yeah, but I really don't want to play a game.' E: 'Maybe not Bert, but we'll do it all the same! You see that, you said game and I said same, and game and same both rhyme!' B: 'Yeah, uh-uh, rhyme, I know. But Ernie, it's just not what I want to do.' E: 'Wiggle your finger, and waggle your shoe!' (drums start) B: 'Uh, Ernie, I'd much rather sit and read my book.' E: 'With ears you hear, and with eyes you look!' B: 'Now come on Ernie, cut this out.' E: 'Easy old buddy, no need to shout!' B: 'I don't want to play a game with rhymes!' E: 'Nice going Bert, oh ring my chimes!' B: 'I don't wanna do it!' E: 'There's really nothing to it!' B: 'It's so silly.' E: 'A boy named Billy.' B: 'Stop it, please!' E: 'A dog has fleas!' B: 'Oh!' E: 'Mow!' B: 'Ernie, please this has got to stop!' E: 'Some people like to jump and hop!' B: 'I don't wanna do it (Ernie interrupts)any more.' E: 'What what hmmm?' (I like this part because here Jim H. messed up and they were able to recover wonderfully) B: 'What what hmmm?! I don't want to do it anymore!' E: 'Oh. One and two and three and four.' B: 'Ernie!' E: 'Bernie!' B: 'Stop it!' E: 'Mop it!' B: 'Stop!' E: 'Flop!' B: 'No!' E: 'Flow!' B: 'Mmmmmmm....Hippopotamus! E: 'Ahhhhh...rhipototopus!' B: 'Egh! Alright, alright! I give up!' E: 'Eat from a plate and drink from a cup!' B: 'I guess I'll just have to play along.' E: 'It plays like a game and sings like a song!' B: 'You may be right, I may be wrong.' E: 'A clock goes tick and a bell goes bong.' B: 'This game is really kinda kicky!' E: 'Sugar's sweet and glue is sticky.' B: 'Yeah, water is wet and dust is dry!' E: 'Dogs gotta walk and birds gotta fly!' B: 'It's a great kind of game to play with a friend!' E: 'And now old buddy we've come to the end!' (drums stop) B: 'Yah! You're right Ernie, that's a great game ... you' (still in rhythm) E: 'Ah...w-well Bert see, I think I'm gonna go read my book now, okay? Hmm hmm hmm...' B: '...... Hey there lamp, that's a nice shade .... you .... it's not the same.'
