[scooter289]

Hey all after recently lookin at the Alice Cooper episode of the Muppet Show and seeing the song Once A Year Day, i was wondering i anyone knew the lyrics or who wrote it? Thanks again!

I love that song! It's such a great Boppity moment!

I read somewhere around here that it comes from a musical called "The Pyjama Game," although I've never seen it personally.

Music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
Book by George Abbott and Richard Bissell
Based on the novel 7 1/2 cents by Richard Bissell

Ye hits a really cool song, I wish it went on for longer.
The good songs on the muppet show are always pretty short!

Man, good luck finding lyrics online. I've heard a bunch of samples, but they're all instrumental. The song being discussed here is indeed the song in The Pajama Game, though. I searched Google for lyrics but got nothing. Only reviewed a few sites, though.

The words...

This is my,
Once a year day,
Once a year day,
Felt the morning sun and knew that this was my,
Once a Year Day,
Once a Year Day,
Even got a kiss from you!
I feel like hopping up and down like a kangaroo,
Jumping fences, climbing trees,
What pleases me it’s what I’ll do cos
This is my,
Once a year day,
Once a year day,
Everyone’s one’s entitled to be wild,
Be a child,
Be a goof,
Raise the roof,
Once a year

I liked in the beginning of that skit, where Kermit saw the candle on his desk slowly moving away. He blew out the candle causing it to stop, while Kermit replied, "Think about that, friends!" Like how a Muppet could blow out a candle.
