In the song "Dance Myself to Sleep," Ernie explains that when he can't fall asleep, he gets back up out of bed and dances until he feels sleepy. He's joined in his dancing by some Boogie Woogie Sheep, a bugle, and his Rubber Duckie. Throughout the number Bert complains and tells Ernie to go back to bed. At the end of the song, the sheep take Bert and his bed outside, and Ernie snuggles down into his bed with his Rubber Duckie, finally able to go to sleep.
