Never knew this was a single let alone a hit! Yet another entry on the “hits of the ’70s that were better than Chuck Berry’s ‘ding-a-ling'”, LOL
My dad is Ernie. For years at work, his best friend was Bert. You can’t even make things like this up.
I had this on a 45!
Can I say that I love that song?? Well, I do and I used to sing it to my kids when they were little.
My kids loved this too. We used to sing it when they were in the bathtub and it was great.
