HE WORE GREEN BLUE JEANS FADED WHERE HE SAT
CHECKERED SHIRT AND BROWN SOCK HAT
LIFE TO HIM WAS WHERE IT’S AT
TRIPPING’ ON HIS SHOELACE
NEVER FALLS ON HIS FACE
ERNIE I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
ERNIE THE PEOPLE STOP AND STARE
SEEMS LIKE NOBODY GIVES A CARE
FOR THE ERNIE’S EVERYWHERE
I NEVER SEEN A MAN WORK SO HARD
NOT GETTIN’ ANYWHERE NEVER GETTIN’ TIRED
SOME WOULD CALL HIM A FOOL
‘CUSE HE NEVER FINISHED SCHOOL
SPECIAL ED WASN’T INVENTED THEN
ERNIE I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
ERNIE THE PEOPLE STOP AND STARE
SEEMS LIKE NOBODY GIVES A CARE
FOR THE ERNIE’S EVERYWHERE
HIS MOMMY AND DADDY ALWAYS WANTED A SON
TOO LATE IN LIFE HIS RACE BEGUN
LORD I HOPE AND PRAY
YOU’LL BE WITH HIM TODAY
HELP HIM RUN THIS RACE ‘TIL IT’S WON
ERNIE I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE
ERNIE THE PEOPLE STOP AND STARE
SEEMS LIKE NOBODY GIVES A CARE
FOR THE ERNIE’S EVERYWHERE
