[BERT]
Six!
[ERNIE]
Six?
[BERT]
My favorite number is six!
[ERNIE]
Bert, nobody's favorite number is six
[BERT]
Sometimes I spend the whole afternoon
Sitting around and singing a tune
About six
[ERNIE]
Six
[BERT]
Sometimes I think of six bricks
[ERNIE]
Bert, that's very boring
[BERT]
Or else I think of six sticks
[ERNIE]
That's even more boring
[BERT]
Not five bricks or sticks
Now two is your eyes and one's your nose
And five is your fingers or your toes
And four is the legs on an easy chair
Yet there's no number can compare
With six
[ERNIE]
How about nine or three?
[BERT]
Nothing more lovely than six
[ERNIE]
I don't know, Bert
[BERT]
When someone says, "Hey, Bert, pick a number."
Well, I always pick the one nobody picks
My favorite number is six
(spoken interlude)
[ERNIE]
You know, I hate to break this to you Bert, but six isn't anybody's favorite number
[BERT]
It's my favorite number, Ernie
[ERNIE]
I mean, six just sits there between five and seven. You know, you have five fingers on your hand, and there are seven days in a week, but there's not really six of anything
[BERT]
I know, Ernie, I know
(song)
[BERT]
Now two is your eyes and one's your nose
And five is your fingers or your toes
And four is the legs on an easy chair
Yet there's no number can compare
With six
[ERNIE]
All right, Bert
[BERT]
Nothing more lovely than six
[ERNIE]
Have it your way
[BERT]
When someone says, "Hey, Bert, pick a number."
Well, I always pick the one nobody picks
My favorite number is six
(spoken outro)
[BERT]
Hey, Ernie, what are you doing? Can I sit in my chair, huh?
[ERNIE]
Not right now, Bert. I'm thinking, Bert
[BERT]
About what?
[ERNIE]
I'm thinking about my favorite number, Bert
[BERT]
Oh, really? What is it? What is it?
[ERNIE]
8,243,721, Bert
[BERT]
I still like six
