Song lyrics to Finale: The Magic Store, performed at the end of The Muppet Movie
Kermit:
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
Is that dedication?
You work through the mirror
You’re getting standing ovations
All:
You’re burning with hope
You’re building up steam
What was once juvenilish
Miss Piggy:
Is grown-up and stylish
All:
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
[chatter as the Muppets set up the stage]
Kermit:
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
Fozzie:
That’s part of what rainbows do
Gonzo:
Rainbows are memories
Miss Piggy:
Sweet dream reminders
What is it you’d like to do
All:
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!
Miss Piggy:
Sweet dream reminders
What is it you’d like to do
All:
All of us watching and wishing we find it
Kermit:
I noticed you’re watching, too
All:
Someday you’ll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and…
Kermit:
Life’s like a movie
Write your own ending
Keep believing
Keep pretending
We done just what we set out to do
All:
Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!
