Lyrics
Janice: Don't shout grouchy Uncle Deadly don't shout That's not what our singing's about So if you can't take The noise that we make Go back to your trashcan and pout

All: Ooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee Come on and sing-along with me

Link Hogthrob: Hey, I got one!

Various voices urge him to share

Link Hogthrob: A furry brown monster named Sweetums

Sweetums: Hey, that's me!

Link Hogthrob: When asked "Are you strong?" replied "Very!" Then just for a laugh He tore 3 cars in half Now I ask "Is that necessary?"

All: Oooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee Come on and sing-along with me

Dr. Teeth: Oh, I have one! 85 bats hanging in the steeple One bat flies in through the door That makes 86...

(splash sound)

Rowlf the Dog: Sorry everybody, I have one!

Sam the Eagle: Do you have a towel, Rowlf?

Rowlf the Dog: No, Sam, I have a verse.

Sam the Eagle: Oh no.

Rowlf the Dog: It goes like this. You all know our good buddy Sam

Sam the Eagle: Oh no.

Rowlf the Dog: Whose feelings are easily hurt When his friends all play dressup, ol' Sam has to fess up

Sam the Eagle: Yeah, I'm always the one in the skirt ...and I don't like it...

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee Come on and sing-along with me

Sam the Eagle: Excuse me, I have one. (various voices urge him on) Yeah, you'll love it, it's really groovy. Ahem. There once was a man named McDowell Who planted a tree with a trowel Then he got in a shower, where he stayed for an hour and said - "SOMEBODY GIVE ME A TOWEL!!" Don't make a meddle case, please! How about a sweater? Do you have some pants? Will you go to Mr. Pops' Store and get his apron? Anything! I'm cold! I don't wanna be in the tub! The water is cold and I don't want this!

All: Ooooooh, ABC, 123, pigs in a tree Don't ever sit on a woodpecker's knee ABC, 123 fiddle-dum-dee-deee Come on and sing-along with me Come on and sing-along with me

Rowlf the Dog: Okay, you can turn it over now.

Sweetums: Sure thing, Rowlf.

(sound of piano crashing)

Rowlf the Dog: Sweetums! Not the piano! The record! Turn over the record!

Sweetums: (meekly): Sorry.
