The Muppet Show lyrics

It’s the Muppet Show with our very special guest star . . .

It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights.

It’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!

(Gonzo blows his trumpet - or at least attempts to.)

The original Muppet Show was filmed in England.

See below for a list of all the show's guest stars.

If you’re a human being, take a break from the race

Take a load off your feet, wipe the load off your face

Got a lot to do and we do it for you

Everybody take your place

Muppets tonight! You’re gonna see something better.

Tonight’s the night! You’re gonna live with the memories.

We got a show for you. Guaranteed brand new.

Here come the muppets tonight! [whistling]

We got a show for you. Guaranteed brand-new.

Here come the muppets, here come the muppets

Here come the muppets tonight!

Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come true

Muppet Babies, we’ll do the same for you

Kermit: When your world looks kinda weird and you wish that you weren’t there

Piggy: Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere

Kermit: I like adventure.

Piggy: I like romance.

Fozzie: I love great jokes.

Animal: Animal dance!

Scooter: I’ve got my computer.

Skeeter: I swing through the air.

Rowlf: I play the piano.

Gonzo: And I have blue hair.

Bunsen: Me, I invent things.

Beaker: Mee mee mee meee!

Nanny: Is everything all right in here?

All: Yes, Nanny.

Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come true.

Muppet Babies, we’ll do the same for you.

Muppet Muppet Muppet Muppet. Babies Babies Babies Babies.

Make dreams come true.
