Muppets: The Green Album Soundtrack Lyrics

It's the Muppet Show !

It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
t's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.

Why do we always come here
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To have to watch the show

And now let's get things started
Why don't you get things started
It's time to get things started
On the most sensational inspirational celebrational Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show!

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish would be heard
And answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic

Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Kermit: Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends you can't lose,
Fozzie: This could become a habit!
Kermit: Opportunity knocks once let's reach out and grab it
Fozzie: yeah!
Kermit: Together we'll nab it,
Fozzie: We'll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it!
Kermit: Cab it?

Both: We're movin' right along
Fozzie: Footloose and fancy-free
Kermit: Getting there is half the fun, come share it with me.
Both: Movin' right along
Kermit: We'll learn to share the load
Fozzie: We don't need a map to keep this show on the road

Kermit: Hey, that song is sounding better, Fozzie.

Kermit: Movin' right along
We've found a life on the highway
Fozzie: And your way is my way
Kermit: So trust my navigation

Fozzie: California here we come, the pie-in-the-sky-land
Kermit: Palm trees and warm sand
Fozzie: Though sadly we just left Rhode Island
Kermit: We did what?!
Fozzie: Just forget it.

Both: We're movin' right along
Kermit: Hey LA, where've you gone?
Fozzie: Send someone to fetch us, we're in Sasketchewan!

Both: We're movin' right along
Kermit: You take it, you know best
Fozzie: Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the West?

Fozzie: Movin' right along
We're truly birds of a feather
We're in this together
Kermit: and we know where we're going
Fozzie: Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down
Kermit: We're storming the big town
Fozzie: Yeah, storm is right-- should it be snowing?
Kermit: Uh, no, I don't think so...

Both: We're movin' right along
Fozzie:Do I see signs of men?
Kermit: Yeah, "Welcome" on the same post that says, "Come Back Again."
Both: We're movin' right along,
Fozzie: nice town!
Kermit: Footloose and fancy-free
Fozzie: You're ready for the big time
Kermit: Is it ready for me?

Both: Movin' right along
Movin' right along
Movin' right along
Movin' right along

We're closer now then ever before
How much alike we are, perhaps we're long lost brothers
There's love in our world and we're showing it more
We even think the same, you know there maybe others
Our world says "welcome strangers, everybody's a friend"
We could always use a friend
Favorite stories to tell in our world
Some say our world is getting too small
So many things to learn, but we'll enjoy each lesson
I say, with kindness, there's room for us all
Problems don't worry us when half the fun is guessing
Our world is always changing, everyday's a surprise
Live a lifetime of surprise
Love can open your eyes
In our world
(Repeat)Some say our world is getting too small
So many things to learn, but we'll enjoy each lesson
I say, with kindness, there's room for us all
Problems don't worry us when half the fun is guessing
Our world is always changing, everyday's a surprise
Live a lifetime of surprise
Love can open your eyes
In our world
When night is set upon you go watch the simple sun rise
Love can open your eyes
Welcome brother
To our world
In our world

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop

Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town
And all sorts of funny thoughts they run through my head
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit
There isn't any other stair quite like it
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
So this is the stair where I always stop

Hey Mr. Bassman
You've got that certain something
Hey Mr. Bassman
You set that music thumping
To you its easy when you go one, two, three
Bah bah bah bah bah
You mean bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah boom boom boom

Yes, hey Mr. Bassman
You're on all the songs with a
Bah bah bah bah boom boom
Bah bah bah bah boom boom bah
Hey Mr. Bassman you're the hidden king of rock and roll
Bah bah bah boom bah
No no bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

Oh well you don't mean a thing
When the leader's singing
When he goes ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Hey Mr. Bassman
I'm asking just on thing
Will you please teach me
Yes, the way you sing
'Cause Mr. Bassman
I want to be a bass man too
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah boom boom boom

Well it don't a thing when the leader's singing
When he goes ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
Hey Mr. Bassman
I think I'm really with it
Hey Mr. Boom boom boom
Di di di di di di boom boom
Come on Mr. Bassman
Now I'm a bass man too
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah boom boom boom

I wish I had a coat of silk, the color of the sky.
I wish I had a lady fair, and then a butterfly
I wish I had a house of stone that looked down on the sea
But most of all I wish that I was someone else but me.

(Madeleine cheers up Gonzo)

Now I don't have a coat of silk, but I still have the sky
Now I don't have a lady, but there goes a butterfly
Now I don't have a house of stone, but I can see the sea
Now most of all I know that I am happy to be me.
I'm happy to be me.

Gimmie my good friends
N' play me my music
Gimmie my night life

Talk me that guitar
N' roll me that boogie
Gimmie my night life

Sing me the good times
'Cause I need the feeling
Gimmie my night life

We'll dance in the moonlight
We'll rock until dawn
N' if you can't take it, baby
I'm movin' on
So gimmie my night life,
Gimmie, yeah

[Repeat: x9]
Gimme

Gimmie my night life
Gimmie the day light
Oh
Gimmie
Oh gimmie my night life

It's not easy bein' green
Having to spend each day
The color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that
It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in
With so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles on the water
Or stars in the sky
But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or importan like a river or tall like a tree
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But, why wonder, why wonder?
I'm green and it'll do fine
It's beautiful and I think it's what I want to be

You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em.
There's somethin' irresistabullish about 'em.
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin' better comes along.

It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler.
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar.
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.

Still, it's fun when they're fetching,
And agree to see an etching
That you keep at your lily pad.
There is no solution, it's part of evolution,
The pitter patter of soles,
The little feet of tadpoles.

(Ah, Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet!)
(Oh. Sorry about that.... 2, 3, 4)

There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'.
A skunk was badgered the results were strong.
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
(Beep bop bidder da dum dum bum bum bum!)

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, and yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.
