[Watery sounds]
Yanky Doodle went to town
a-riding on his pony...
Ahhh, I love taking my bath, peace and
quiet,
all alone.
[knock-knock-knock knock-knock]
[Knock-Knock-Knock-Knock]
...and called it macaroni
Oh! two, three....
Hi buddy Bert
Oh, hi Ernie, oh hey will you close
the door, Ernie there`s a draft.
oh just a second Bert.
Ern... Ernie

You can`t push the piano through the
bathroom door.

[Grunt, bump, grunt, tinkle, KA-bump]
Aahhgh!

*Klech-ksh-crsh-sh-sh*
Wh-WHAT are you doing with
a piano
in the bathroom!?
Oh Bert! I heard you singing in
the tubby there
Yeh?
and so I thought I
would just come and sing along
I don`t WANT you to sing-along,
But...
I want you to get out.
...but everybody sounds better
singing in the bathroom Bert.
You know...
I don`t want the piano in here Ernie.
...well Sure, Bert, what`s a
sing-along without a piano?
[starts to play piano]
It`s ME, that`s what it is... Alone!
listen to that Bert
Stop that playing.
doesn`t that sound nice
Stop it right now.
doesn`t that make you just want
to sing-along.
...makes me want to see you
out of here.
No, Bert, listen:

Gee, Bert
what?
It`s so much fun
no, it`s not
I know you`ll like it

I`ve got to wash my hair.

do not want to sing.
But, listen...
