REAL Muppet Show Scene Script - Night & Day

[Dil]

Since we've making up scripts from the fake Muppet Shows.
Let's make REAL Muppet Show scene Scripts.

Here's our first:

NIGHT & DAY
an Egyptian Number
sung by Archeologists, Mummies, & Sacrogus

Words in [] brackets are spoken.

(Gong plays at the beginning of the number.)

ARCHEOLOGISTS:
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the eye of the clock,
As it's standing against the wall,
Like the the drip drip drip of the rain drops.

(The wall opens and we see the Sacrogus.)

SACROGUS:
When the summer shower's through,
So a voice within me keeps revealing
YOU! (You!)
YOU! (You!)
YOU! (You!)

(The Sacrogus opens themselves, freeing the Mummies.)

MUMMIES:
Night and Day,
You are the one,
Only you beneath the moon
and under the sun.
Whether near to me or far,
It's no matter, baby, where you are.
I think of you,
Night and Day.

FEMALE ARCHEOLOGISTS:
[Look, I think they're glad to see us.]

JERRY NELSON-VOICED SACROGI:
[When you've been stood up for 4,000 years, you're glad to see anybody!]

SACROGUS:
Night and Day, Day and Night,
Why is it so
that this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic gloom,
In the silence of my lonely room,
I think of you,
Night and Day.

(the music goes faster.)

ARCHEOLOGISTS, SACROGUS, & MUMMIES:
Night and day,
Under the hide of me,
Oh, such a hungry yearning.
Burning, burning inside of me.
This torment won't be through
'til you let me spend my life making love to you.
Day and night,
Night and daaa-aaa-aaa-aaa-aaaaaay!!

(Audience applause.)

What you think? Does this make you think of making a script of a scene on The Muppet Show?

Did you write this from your own memory of the episode Dil? It's awesome.
A few of the lyrics are missing from what I can remember but it's remarkably spot on the sketch itself.

It might be rather fun doing scripts of real individual scenes or sketches that we favour for something a bit different I suppose. I shall consider it.

Okay Dil here's one I know you'll love as much as I


THE HAPPY WANDERER

sung by three pigs walking along an alpine track together

Together in unison: We love to go a-wandering along the mountain track,
and as we go we love to sing.
Our knapsacks on our backs.

Pig on end: Val-de-ri
Pig at front: Val-de-ra
Pig in middle: Val-de-ra
Pig on end falling off: Val-de-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Other two do double take in horror then turn to each other
Together: Uh-oh
Pig at front: Watch where you step.
Other pig: Yeah.Yeah.

Climbing up higher as they sing once more:
High overhead the skylarks wing, they never rest at home
But just like us they love to sing
As o'er the world we roam

Pig at front: Val-de-ri(holds up a rope between them)
Second pig: (nods at rope) Val-de-ra
Pig at front: Val-de-ra(holds up rope again)
Second pig falling off: Val-de-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

Last pig does double take and starts to tremble and shake
Ohh, Ohh
Oh may I go a-wandering until the day I (gulp) die.
Oh may I always laugh and sing (heh-heh)
Beneath a clear blue sky (heh)
(Takes one nervous step after another as he sings)
Val-de-ri (whimper)
Val-de-ra (Ooooh)
Val-de-ra
(with big expression of relief since he doesn't fall off) Val-de-ahahahahahaha
Val-de-ri Val-de-ra
Beneath a clear blue (two giant rocks roll down over the top of him) skyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

A goat sticks his head up and looks towards the camera baaa-ing then looks down the mountainside with one more baa.

So Dil are you going to tell me what you think of my real TMS scene script?
I thought yours was very well done. Or would anybody else care to comment on them?
