I don't know where this tune comes from, but anyway:

Is it a bird up in the sky?

Is it a spaceman up on high?

Is it a pirate out to sea?

No, it's Er-nie!


Er-nie! Yes it's Er-nie!

The coach of the Phoenix,

Yes it's Er-nie!

- OK, so the words need work ...

- and I still love Coops' "Rubber Ducky"
