scottobear"I Hope That Something Better Comes Along"
(Rowlf & Kermit--both voiced by Jim Henson--sing their laments about women after Miss Piggy just walked out on her date with Kermit)
(Dialogue Intro)
Rowlf: Lemme guess: broken heart, right?
Kermit: Does it show?
Rowlf: Listen...when you've been tickling the ivories as long as I have, you've seen a broken heart for every drop of rain, a shattered dream for every fallen star!
Kermit: Exactly. She just walked out on me.
Rowlf: Ah, typical. That's why I live alone.
Kermit: You do, huh?
Rowlf: (plays piano) Yep. I finish work, go home, read a book, have a couple of beers, take myself for a walk and go to bed.
Kermit: Nice and simple.
Rowlf: Stay away from women. That's my motto.
Kermit: But I can't.
Rowlf: Neither can I. That's my trouble...
Rowlf:
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.
Kermit: (spoken): Yeah, I know what you mean...
Kermit:
It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler.
Rowlf:
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar.
Kermit:
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
Both:
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
Rowlf:
Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter
When puppy love comes on strong?
Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie,
A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life.
Kermit: (spoken): Uh, Rowlf, was that a new 'leash' on life?
Rowlf: (spoken): Oh yeah...sorry about that.
Kermit:
I don't mean to scare ya, my friend, but I betcha
Come "Father's Day", the litter bug's gonna getcha;
Rowlf:
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong.
Both:
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
Kermit:
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,
Rowlf:
You'll sooner hear the soles,
The little feet of tadpoles.
Kermit: (spoken) Ah, Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet!
Rowlf: (spoken) Oh. Sorry about that.... 2, 3, 4.
Kermit:
There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Rowlf:
Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'.
A skunk was badgered the results were strong.
Both:
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along!!!
Rowlf: Beep bop bidder da dum dum bum bum bum!
Rowlf: (spoken): It's not often you see a guy that green have the blues that bad!

your name is really Cap sean isn't it?
Date: 2000-07-08 01:08 pm (UTC)I have never know another guy on the planet earth that could just pull Muppets out of the air/or even think to quote them.
Only you and Captain Cheese.
I am very frightened.
Silly Rabbit! Cap'n Cheese is no Evil twin o' mine!
Date: 2000-07-08 01:47 pm (UTC)I'm flattered, but nope... while I have been to Amsterdam, He and I have never met. Perhaps he is my doppelganger from some parallel world, or maybe I'm the evil double, because I have the goatee. Flavored Coffees? That little cafe! Jean-Luc! Maybe we're twins seperated at birth, or possibly sooner... I was a large baby. In any event, where did you work? Was it a good job? I'm looking for a change, and a place where I could sing the Swedish Chef (bork bork bork) song would be a welcome improvement.
Re: Silly Rabbit! Cap'n Cheese is no Evil twin o' mine!
Date: 2000-07-08 03:18 pm (UTC)I still work for a real estate development company and he still works for qwest. We used to work a block and a half from each other, he was working graveyard so we would meet for coffee after he stopped working and before I did.
Now he is in Amsterdam and I swear I thought that he would be the only guy in the world that would do some of the things he does. Neato keeno that there is more than one of you guys running around the world amuk!
