The Kidnapping of Big Bird

It was late into the night When Bert Ernie and I Were traveling across the plans of Nebraska Much to my surprise Bert looks me straight in the eyes And says Mike, I gotta question to ask ya With Big Bird wrapped up in the trunk You'd think that he'd already thunk About this night long before it already happened When we took Oscar the Grouches can lid And whacked Big Bird smack dab in the head Then tied him up tight while he was napping We rolled him out to curb Believe me it looked quite absurd Ernie grunting with Bert complaining as feathers went flying But as would be our fate Able to make our planed escape When Count Von Count took time out to do some feather counting So this is now where we are Bert, Ernie, Me, and Big Bird in the trunk of our car Not really knowing where it is we are heading Our thinking went only as far As nabbing Big Bird and the get away car Putting Ernie in charge wasn't such a good idea is what I am betting Ernie says he's figured it all out Bert says we need this, but still has his doubts Cause Bert owes back pay alimony and Ernie his bookie We head to Ernie's planed drop off spot And of course it's swarming with cops While our inside man " The Monster " gave us up for Cookies They let Big Bird out of the trunk Who proceeded to slap us punch drunk Then straight to the judge to pay for this hideous crime I can't think of any worse fate I now know this was a fatal mistake The sentence... Banished to Sesame Street for life, now that is hard time
