Album Summary
As always, the album starts with Ernie being excited about playing games and singing songs, and Bert wanting to read. This almost leads to a fight when Ernie pretends to throw Bert's book out the window. In song, they remind eachother that it's not safe to fight while you're driving. During a song about animal sounds, they almost start arguing again... Ernie sees funny road signs and starts to speak "a foreign language". He also sees a rainbow. Bert and Ernie try to count its colors before it goes away. While Ernie thinks about more things to look for, Bert falls asleep and starts to mumble. He is dreaming about the day they met Oscar and took him out on a ride.

Ernie is concerned about the kids at home getting bored, so he wakes Bert up for some more travelling songs and games, like playing hide and seek with Bert's "Zippy and Zoppy" book. When they see a mechanic's car outside, Bert and Ernie talk about what happens if a car breaks down. They finish the album with their singalong "We Will Get There, Even Though We're Not There Yet!"
