The Lyrics
Sorry, I just can't get enough of Bert and Ernie. They're from the Sesame Street show and they're only Muppets. This song parody has been requested by Jeremy Sonic Frogtable and the Frogtable Family.
[Intro]
[Verse 1: Bert and Ernie]
We all try to have a good time, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
Just because we can't get a rhyme, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
From our head down to our t-t-t-toes, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
Oh, I just forgot, I need to blow my nose, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're just Bert and Ernie,
We know we're just Bert and Ernie, Jeremy!
[Verse 2: Bert and Ernie]
Why don't you all find s-s-s-something to watch? (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
And don't try to count the numbers on your w-w-watch. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're not trying to be that f-f-froggy. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're only just plain old Bert and Ernie. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
We're just plain old Bert and Ernie, Jeremy.
[Bridge]
Old, old, old Bert and Ernie,
Old, old, old Bert and Ernie.
[Verse 3: Bert and Ernie]
We're just like Leap and his brother, T-t-tad, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
They all love their mom and d-d-dad, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
Mario and Luigi and brothers t-t-t-too, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
And I just realized my hands are stuck in glue. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
[Bridge]
Plain old Bert and Ernie.
Plain old Bert and Ernie.
[Outro: Bert and Ernie]
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just Bert and Ernie!
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) Just Bert and Ernie!
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just plain old Bert and Ernie, Jeremy!
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
(We're just plain old Bert and Ernie) We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
[Verse 1: Bert and Ernie]
We all try to have a good time, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
Just because we can't get a rhyme, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
From our head down to our t-t-t-toes, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
Oh, I just forgot, I need to blow my nose, (we're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're just Bert and Ernie,
We know we're just Bert and Ernie, Jeremy!
[Verse 2: Bert and Ernie]
Why don't you all find s-s-s-something to watch? (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
And don't try to count the numbers on your w-w-watch. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're not trying to be that f-f-froggy. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're only just plain old Bert and Ernie. (We're just plain old Bert and Ernie)
We're just plain old Bert and Ernie.
We're just plain old Bert and Ernie, Jeremy.
[Bridge]
Old, old, old Bert and Ernie,
Old, old, old Bert and Ernie.

Everyone luvs Bert & Ernie. Friends forever before that even became a thing! 5s
Cute and perfectly paced to boot.
Good job Darius! Who doesn't love Bert and Ernie?
Thank you, Sesame Street Fan! I hear there's another one that Martin Allen McRichardson and Bert might love from a Beatles parody song. We'll have to write it when we have the chance to.
