Movie Clip from "Why Couldn't We Ride?"
Kermit:
Pretty day,
sunny sky,
lovely pictures dance in your eye.
Miss Piggy:
It all seems so right!
Kermit:
It all seems so rare!
Miss Piggy:
Summer sun,
summer breeze,
watch the wind play tag in the trees!
Both:
The world is so bright!
So perfectly fair!
Chorus singers:
Lovers sing,
Children dance,
For a minute,
we got a chance.
Kermit:
Why couldn't we fly?
Miss Piggy:
I know we can fly!
Chorus singers:
Summer sky,
Pretty day,
Just a push
and we're on the way.
Yes, couldn't we ride?
Both:
Side by side.
(Kermit tries out some stunts on his bicycle, balancing dangerously. At
one point, he does a handstand on the seat. Statler & Waldorf look
on from a park bench.)
Waldorf: Look, ma, no brains!
(laughter)
Chorus:
Why couldn't we fly?
Kermit:
I know we'd get by!
(They are joined by the rest of the Happiness Hotel gang and Gonzo &
Fozzie)
Gonzo:
Sunny day.
Fozzie:
Pretty day.
Floyd & Janice:
Just a push
and we're on the way
Kermit & Miss Piggy:
Side by side.
All:
Couldn't we ride?
