Sesame Street I Wish I Had A Friend to Play With Song

I Wish I Had a Friend to Play with Me is a Sesame Street blues song sung by Bert. In the song, he expresses his loneliness when Ernie won't play with him, and wishes for a friend who will do the things he enjoys, such as eating oatmeal and worshiping argyle socks. But in the end, Ernie and Rubber Duckie want to play a game of hide and seek, and Bert gladly obliges. The song and the sketch itself was written by Christopher Cerf.
