“Life’s a Happy Song”-Muppet style

[animalrescuer]

I watched the 2011 Muppet movie today and still enjoyed it, but I wonder how the opening song could have gone with Muppets not just from The Muppet Show, but also Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock and from the specials as well. So here’s the outline of how it would go.

Kermit: Everything is great, everything is grand.
I’ve got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand.
Robin: Everything is perfect, it’s falling into place.
I can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face.
Both: Life’s a happy song when there’s someone by my side to sing along.
Walter: When you’re alone, life can be a little rough.
It makes you feel like you’re three foot tall.
When it’s just you, well, timed can be tough when there’s no one there to catch your fall.
All 3: Everything is great, Everything is grand.
I’ve got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand.
Everything is perfect, it’s falling into place.
I can’t seem to wipe this smile off my face.
Telly and Baby Bear: Life smells like a rose.
Baby Bear: With someone to paint
Telly: And someone to pose.
Scooter and Gonzo: Life’s a piece of cake.
Scooter: With someone to pedal
Gonzo: And someone to brake!
Elmo and Abby Cadabby: Life is full of glee.
Elmo: With someone to saw
Abby: And someone to see!
Kermit, Robin and Walter: Life’s a happy song when there’s someone by your side to sing along.
I’ve got everything that I need right in front of me.
Nothing’s stopping me, nothing that I can’t be with you right here next to me.
Swedish Chef: Loofe’s ee peece oof cooke!
Kermit: With someone to give
Walter: And someone to take!
Grover: Life’s a piece of pie
Boober: With someone to wash
Wembley: And someone to dry.
Biff: Life’s an easy road
Anything Muppet builders: With someone beside you to share the load.
Dr. Teeth: Life is full of highs
Janice: With someone to stir
Floyd: and someone to fry.
Whatnot butcher: Life’s a leg of lamb
Kermit, Robin and Walter: With someone there to lend a hand.
Anything Muppet florist: Life’s a bunch of flowers
Kermit, Robin and Walter: With someone to while away the hours.
Oscar the Grouch: Life’s a fillet of fish!
Grouches: Hey!
Kermit, Robin and Walter: Yes, it is.
All: Life’s a happy song when there’s someone by your side to sing along.
(Dance interlude)
All: Oh, I’ve got everything that I need right in front of me.
Nothing’s stopping me, nothing that I can’t be with you right here next to me.
I’ve got everything that I need
Walter: Right in front of me!
Sorry. (Clears throat) Got a little excited there.
Fozzie: one more time!
All: I’ve got everything that I need right in front of me.
Nothing’s stopping me, nothing that I can’t be with you right here next to me.
You’ve got everything that you need right in front of you.
Nothing’s stopping you, nothing that you can’t do that the world can throw at you.
Life’s a happy song...
Miss Piggy: when there’s someone by your side to sing.
All: Life’s a happy song...
Rizzo: when there’s someone by your side to sing.
All: Life’s a happy song when there’s someone by your side to sing along!

I have a suggestion for you. Can you do the song, but with the Fraggles instead?

All those characters would show up, at least in my imagination, in the reprise of the song along with some Whatnots, Anything Muppets, Fraggles, and all sorts of animals mainly used as background characters.
