A little Muppet inspiration


It starts when we're kids, a show-off in school;
Makin' faces at friends, you're a clown and a fool.
Doin' prat-falls and bird-calls and bad imitations;
Ignoring your homework, now that's dedication.
You work to the mirror, you're getting standing ovations.

You're burning with hope, you're building up steam.
What was once juvenilish is grown-up and stylish,
You're close to your dream.
Then somebody out there loves you,
Stands up and hollers for more;
More!
You found a home at the Magic Store.

Kermit: Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
Fozzie: That's part of what rainbows do.
Gonzo: Rainbows are memories, sweet dream reminders
Miss Piggy: What is it you'd like to do?
Muppets: All of us watching, and wishing we'd find it;
Fozzie: I've noticed, you're watching too.
Muppets: Someday you'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and you!

Life's like a movie, write your own ending
Keep believing, keep pretending
We've done just what we set out to do.
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!
