Paroles: Sesame Street. Pretty Little Song.

Man: I know a song, and it goes like this: "Hmm-mmm"
It's a pretty little song, and it goes like this: "Hmm-mmm"
I can't remember how the rest of it goes
But, one fine morning, I suppose
I'll remember the end of the pretty little song
I know a song that the birds all sing: "Tweedle-dee!"

Bird: Tweedle-dee!

Man: It's a pretty little song that the birds all sing: "Tweedle-dee!"

Bird: Tweedle-dee!

Man: They sing it all day and they sing it all night
And I guess they think that they sing it all right
But they can't remember the end of the pretty little song!

Bird: Pretty little song!

Man: Pretty little song!

Bird: Pretty little song!

Man: Catchy little tune!

Bird: Catchy little tune!

Man: You can hear me sing it by the light of the silvery moon
Catchy little tune!

Bird: Catchy little tune!

Man: Pretty little song!


Bird: Pretty little song!

Man: But, when I get to the end, it goes all wrong!
I know a song, and it goes like this: "Doodle-doo!"

Bird: Doodle-doo!

Man: It's a pretty little song, and it goes like this: "Doodle-doo!"

Bird: Doodle-doo!

Man: I can't remember how the rest of how it goes
But it's gotta have an ending, I suppose
Doesn't somebody know the end of the pretty little song?
(speaking)
I'm getting tired of singin' this pretty little song!

Bird: Me, too!

Man: There oughta be a law against singin' the pretty little song!

Bird: That's true!

Man (to bird): You sure you don't know anybody who knows the end of this song?
(Bird shakes head and starts whistling.)
I gotta find my way outta this pretty little song! (to camera) If you know anybody who knows the end of this song, would you have him call me collect?
Stuck right in the middle of a pretty little song!
