Bert: See, I was sitting around
Feeling so blue,
Trying to think what to

I was sitting around
Trying to sleep
Practicing counting by

It was just the water pipe when the faucet got turned on,
But it lightened up my life like a nightingale's sweet song!

And now I'm happy with my can and my pan
My whistle or two
'Cause now I know
What I just gotta do;
I go (CLINK, CLANK, RATTLE, TWEET)
