I Hope That Somethin Better Comes Along lyrics

Rowlf: Evenin`...you look like you could use a drink.
Kermit: Yeah, I`d like a grasshopper please.
Rowlf: Hey, can we have a grasshopper for the frog?
Kermit: Uh, that`s, that`s Kermit...Kermit the Frog.
Rowlf: Oh...Rowlf, Rowlf the dog here. Pleased to meet ya.
I`m no Heifetz, but I get by.

(plays piano)

Rowlf: Let me guess. Broken heart, right?
Kermit: Huh, 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 falling star.
Kermit: Exactly. She just walked out on me.
Rowlf: Yeah, typical. That`s why I live alone.
Kermit: You do, huh?
Rowlf: You bet. I finish work, I 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` irresistible-ishabout `em.
We grin and bear it `cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin` better comes along.

Kermit: I see what you mean.
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: Uh, was that a new leash on life?

Rowlf: Oh yeah, sorry about that...2, 3, 4

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: Uh, Rowlf, tadpoles don`t have feet.

Rowlf: 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.
I hope that somethin` better,

Kermit: I hope that somethin` better,

Both: I hope that somethin` better comes along.

Rowlf: It`s not often you see a guy that green that has the blues that
bad.
