Lyrics & Music Paul Williams/Kenneth Ascher From the Film "The Muppet Movie" Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side Rainbows are visions but only illusions Rainbows have nothing to hide so we've been told and some choose to believe it I know they're wrong wait and see Some day, we'll find it the rainbow connection the lovers, the dreamers and me Who said that every wish would be heard and answered if wished on the morning star somebody thought of that someone believed it look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing and what do you think we might see someday, we'll find it the rainbow connection the lovers, the dreamers and me all of us under its' spell, we know that it's probably magic have you been half asleep and have you heard voices I've heard them calling my name is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors the voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it it's something that I'm s'posed to be someday we'll find it the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me la da da dee da da dum la da da da da dee da doo (okay, Kermit ad libbed a little) |

Performed by Miss Piggy in The Muppet Movie Never before have two souls joined so freely, and so fast. For me this is the first time, and the last. Is this an angel's wish for men? Never before and never again. And where to find the words to sing it's worth This love was bound for heaven, not for earth This love was meant to light the stars, But when we touched, we made it ours. And would they take it back? Oh, no, they wouldn't dare! Why should they take it back, When there's enough to share with all the world, And fill the heavens above With left-over love? Never before, a love that just keeps growing on and on, To fill each lover's heart and light the dawn. Is this an angel's wish for men? Never before and never again. Never before and never again. Performed by Rowlf the dog & Kermit the frog in The Muppet Movie (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: The pitter-patter of 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! Performed by Gonzo in The Muppet Movie This looks familiar, vaguely familiar, Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet. Close to my soul, and yet so far away. I'm going to go back there someday. Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls. Is that a song there, and do I belong there? I've never been there, but I know the way. I'm going to go back there someday. Come and go with me, it's more fun to share, We'll both be completely at home in midair. We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings. We can hold onto love like invisible strings. There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met. Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place? You can just visit, but I plan to stay. I'm going to go back there someday. I'm going to go back there someday. |
