Song lyrics to Movin’ Right Along, music and lyrics by Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher, performed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz in The Muppet Movie
Movin’ right along
In search of good times and good news
With good friends you can’t lose
This could become a habit
Opportunity knocks once
Let’s reach out and grab it
Yeah
Together we’ll nab it
We’ll hitchhike, bus or yellow cab it
Cab it?
We’re movin’ right along
Footloose and fancy-free
Getting there is half the fun
Come share it with me
Movin’ right along
We’ll learn to share the load
We don’t need a map
To keep this show on the road
Hey, that song is sounding better, Fozzie
Movin’ right along
We’ve found a life on the highway
And your way is my way
So trust my navigation
California here we come, the pie-in-the-sky-land
Palm trees and warm sand
Though sadly we just left Rhode Island
We did what?
Just forget it
We’re movin’ right along
Hey LA, where’ve you gone?
Send someone to fetch us
We’re in Saskatchewan
We’re movin’ right along
You take it, you know best
Hey, I’ve never seen
The sun come up in the West?
Movin’ right along
We’re truly birds of a feather
We’re in this together
And we know where we’re going
Movie stars with flashy cars
And life with the top down
We’re storming the big town
Yeah, storm is right, should it be snowing?
Uh, no, I don’t think so
We’re movin’ right along
Do I see signs of men?
Yeah, ‘Welcome’ on the same post that says
“Come back again”
We’re movin’ right along
Nice town
Footloose and fancy-free
You’re ready for the big time
Is it ready for me?
Movin’ right along
Movin’ right along
Movin’ right along
Movin’ right along
