Fraggle Rock Crayons/When Bert's Not Here (from Sesame Street)

Cast

 * Gobo Orange as Ernie

Lyrics
(Gobo Orange tosses and turns, trying to get to sleep, then says:)

Gobo Orange: (spoken) Oh, it's no use, I can't fall asleep. And you know why? It's 'cause I miss my old buddy Red Fraggle Yellow. He's not here. See, he went to this Pigeon Festival, you know with Bernice, the pigeon? You know, it might make me feel better if I could tell you about it, I hope you don't mind listening?

(singing)

When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here The hours last forever The toys aren't fun And the cookies don't crunch When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here I don't feel so clever And I never even feel like having lunch

When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here The place is too quiet The windows creak Funny thoughts fill my head When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here No way to deny it I feel I really should have stayed in bed

There's some peculiar things about him What he likes and does can be a mystery But to spend a rainy day without him Makes me realize how much he means to me

When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here The sky's not so sunny My life seems blue And from my point of view When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here The jokes aren't so funny And I wonder what on earth I'm gonna do When Red Fraggle Yellow's not here To play with me and you

(spoken)

You know, I do feel better now. I guess sometimes it does help to tell somebody how you feel. So thanks for listening. I bet I can fall right asleep now. Oh, good night!
