about

A parody of "I Wish I Could Live on the Moon" from Sesame Street.

lyrics

Oh I wish Bert and Ernie were gay
That’s the news I would like to hear
Oh I wish Bert and Ernie were gay
Or at least some kind of queer
They could get married and become gay parents
Or exes who live together to pay rent
They could be polyam, but however they sway
I wish Bert and Ernie were gay

Oh I wish Bert and Ernie were gay
Sesame Workshop swears it’s not true
But I wish Bert and Ernie were gay
I wish they were both into dudes
I wish Elmo was bi and Kermit was trans
Though who are we kidding, Kermit’s totally trans
That’s canonical now, and I don’t care what you say
Oh I wish Bert and Ernie were gay

They could hang pride flags all over the place
They could marathon RuPaul’s Drag Race
They could reach out to children in every home
And show them that they’re not alone

I wish more characters were gay
Instead of just being gay in my head
I wish more characters were gay
And I wish being gay could be said

Even if Bert and Ernie are not
Queer folks don’t see ourselves on TV a lot
I just hope that kids will see someday
They’ll be alright if they are gay
