[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]

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.

Wh-WHAT are you doing with
a piano
in the bathroom!?
Oh Bert! I heard you singing in
the tubby there
Yeh?

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!

Stop that playing.

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

It's so much fun
no, it's not

NO!...

So please don't ask me if I want to

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

little number that will
bounce you right along.
