The Muppets Soundtrack Album 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!

Gary: The only way to save the studio is to raise $10,000,000.
Kermit: $10,000,000? That's impossible!
But, I mean, the only way to raise that kind of money would be to...would be to put on a show.
And I haven't seen the old gang...in a long, long, time.

Kermit: Is there more I could have said?
Now they're only pictures in my head.
That's why my green is feeling grey
Sometimes even frogs have rainy days.

Remember when the stage caved in while you were rocking out?
Who'd have thought your smorgasbord would be hard to live without?
If we could do it all again, just another chance to entertain

Would anybody watch or even care?
Or did something break we cant repair?
Your cannonball trajectory, it always gave me hope.
They may have been un'bear'able but I still loved your jokes

Is there more I could have said?
Now they're only pictures in my head.

Fozzie (spoken): I didn't do it, I've been framed! Ah! Wocka wocka!
Gonzo (spoken): Gonzo the Great will ride this baby again!
Swedish Chef (spoken): Des ferda shun do urg es furn de chicken!
Dr.Teeth (spoken): This staccato tune has posolutely most transparantly bringin' me down. 1, 2 and a half...

Kermit and the Muppets: Could we do it all again, make them laugh like we did then?
Swedish Chef: (subtitles appear) (On the stage where we belong)
Kermit and the Muppets: We could harmonize for one more song,

Kermit: But I'm standing here instead.
Now they're only pictures in my head

KERMIT
I guess if we're gonna go we better get going;
We've got a lot of people to find!

GARY
Oh great! But wait, how do we find 'em?

KERMIT
Didn't you see our first movie?
We drive.

The MaMa pajama rolled outa bed and she ran to the police station
When the PaPa found out he began to shout and he started the investigation
Well it's against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

The mama looked down and she spit on the ground
Every time the name gets mentioned
The papa said "oy if I get that boy I'm gonna stick him in the house of Detention

Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm takin my time but I don't know where
Good-bye to Rosie the Queen of Corona
See you me and julio down by the school yard
See you me and julio down by the school yard

In a couple of days they come to take me away
But the press let the story leak
And when the radical priest come to get me relased
Well we was all on the cover of newsweek

Well, I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
I'm takin my time but I don't know where
Good-bye to Rosie the Queen of Corona
See you me and julio down by the school yard
See you me and julio down by the school yard

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Say you don't know me, or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll!

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

Someone always playing corporation games
Who cares - they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll!

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

It's just another Sunday, in a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh, but we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar
Who rides the wrecking ball in two watt guitars
Don't tell us you need us, cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, crawling through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge
Out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday,
I'm seeing that bumper-to-bumper traffic)

Don't you remember? (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city
The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps)

Marconi plays the mamba,
Listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city,
We built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

We built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll
Built this city, we built this city on rock an' roll

(We built, we built this city)
Built this city (we built, we built this city)
[repeat until fade]

I look around
And once again I'm on my own
My man in here
He's gone and done me wrong
No one's gonna stop this girl from having fun
I throw my hands up high and have a party for one

I'm having a me party
A party by myself
A me party
I don't need nobody else
I'm having a me party
I'm the first and last to show
There's no one at this party that I don't already know

I'm not gonna sit around
By myself and wait for you
Haven't you heard, "one is the new two"
I'm gonna make a scene
I'm gonna make a fuss
Tonight I'm gonna celebrate for just the one of us

I'm having a me party
I don't need no invitation
A me party
I just love the conversation
Me party
But no one else there to
You do the math frog
It means I'm not with you

I won't lie, there are times when I wish I was with you
There are days when all this girl can see is a world that's made for two
At times like this I feel all alone and it's like nobody cares
But I only have to call my name and darling I'll be there

I'm having a me party
Haven't I seen you here before?
A me party
I'm the last one on the dance floor
Me party
A party just for one
Me party
Just a solo night frog
Me party
I'm such great company
A me party
I'll save the last dance for me

What happens at a me party
Stays at a me party

Tex Richman: I'm Tex Richman
Mr. Texas "Tee"
People call me rich 'cause I got mo' money
I got more cheddar then some super sized nachos
Got cash flow like Robert had deniros
I use more greens than Vincent van Gogh
I make the baker bake my bread out of dough
No no don't eat it though it'll make you ill
There ain't no flour in a hundred dollar bill

Chorus Girls: He's Tex Richman
Everybody Listen
Just how great it is to be him
He's the greatest
You're the lamest
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see

Tex Richman: Yeah it's funny in a rich man's world
When I need a piece of string
I use a string of pearls
If something's for sale consider it sold
I've got so much gold I gold plate my gold
I even got a guy to gold plate my cat
I don't regret much, but I do regret that
If I could start all over I'd do it all the same
Except I wouldn't gold plate Mr. Twinkles again

Chorus Girls: He's Tex Richman
Everybody listen
Just how great it is to be him
(Oh, it's great to be me, yeah!)
He's the greatest
(Oh, come on!)
You're the lamest
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see
(Oh, it's great to be me!)

Tex Richman: I recall a heart breaking story
About my own 10th birthday party
Should have been a glorious day for me
I'd have been happy as can be
But the Muppets were there to put on a show
The started to dance they were telling their jokes
I didn't laugh; I didn't know how
Then my friends they all turned around and they laughed at me
They laughed at me
I hate you Muppets so

Chorus Girls: He's Tex Richman
(Richman!)
Everybody listen
(Come on, ya'll!)
Just how great it is to be him
(Oo, It's easy having this much green, yeah!)
He's the greatest
(Hey, sing it again!)
He's the greatest
Muppets are a waste of time, oh, can't you see

Tex Richman: Little Muppets time to give up your dreams

Gary: I reflect on my reflection
And I ask myself the question
Whats the right direction to go
I dont know
Am I a man or am I a muppet (am I a muppet)
If I知 a muppet then I知 a very manly muppet (very manly muppet)
Am I a muppet (muppet) or am I a man (am I a man)
If I知 a man that makes me a muppet of a man (a muppet of a man)

Walter: I look into these eyes
And I dont recognize
The one I see inside
Its time for me to decide
Am I a man or am I a muppet (am I a muppet)
If I知 a muppet well then I知 a very manly muppet (very manly muppet)
Am I a muppet (muppet) or am I a man (am I a man)
If I知 a man that makes me a muppet of a man (a muppet of a man)

Here I go again
I知 always running out of time
I think I made up my mind
Now i understand who i am
I知 a man
I知 a muppet
I知 a muppet of a man
I知 a very manly muppet
I知 a muppeted man
That痴 what i am

Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah, hey, yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us

A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido

A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial, a denial
A denial

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 ev'ry 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 heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
Is this the sweet sound that calls 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 s'posed to be
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
La da da de da da do
La la da da da de da do
