R - The R Machine - Bert & Ernie

作词：Jim Henson/Joe Raposo

Ha Well this machine knows what letter comes next I put this here

Hi there Bert What's that machine you're working on

Oh hi Ernie This is my latest invention my automatic R detector

No kidding

Yeah Anytime this machine hears an R or an R word it rings a bell I'll start it up for you now

Wow Look at that machine go

Now if you'll just say something that begins with R

What was that

Oh I just said R And when you say R the bell rings

Hey You said rings which begins with R

Right

Why that's remarkable Hey Keeheehee That's fun Let me tell it an R riddle

O K Just don't go too fast

I don't know what'll happen if the machine gets going too fast

O K Listen to this machine:

Roscoe really raised rabbits while Ruth rode the red reindeer

If Roscoe's rabbits raised a racket

Why did Ruth's reindeer run the rabbits ragged

Hey hey Don't talk so fast The machine is beginning to smoke

: Well I only have one last poem here

Yeah yeah but listen

Robert rolled reddish radishes around the ring of rubber rubbish

Hey hey wait Hold it Wait Now look what you did

Oh my The machine looks ruined

Rats
