Chapter 4:
Mickey: Well, moving right along, our next act with the Muppets is...
Animal: Mickey! Mickey! Mickey!
Floyd: Hey, sorry about Animal, Mickey. He gets real excited when he's about to play his drums!
Animal: Drums! Drums! Drums!
Floyd: Animal, sit!
Animal: Sorry.
Mickey: As I was saying, our next act with the Muppets is Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem with their biggest hit, "Can You Picture That?" from The Muppet Movie!
(Band plays the song with thunderous applause afterwards)
Donald: Yeah, rock on!
Mickey: Ladies and gentlemen, I just received word that other bands from the Muppet world are coming to perform right now! And here they are, introducing Little Jerry and The Monotones, Chris and The Alphabeats, The Oinker Sisters, Over the Top and The Beetles!
Goofy: The Beatles are here! Must be a reunion concert.
Minnie: Not those beetles, what Mickey meant was beetles, the bugs, but they are like The Beatles.
Goofy: Huh?
Daisy: You'll see in a minute, Goofy.
Mickey: And now, the Muppet bands performing their hit songs!
(Applause)
Little Jerry and Teh Monotones: Telephone Rock
Chris and The Alphabeats: Count it Higher
The Oinker Sisters: A New Way to Walk
Over the Top: ZZ Blues
The Beetles: Letter B
(Audience erupts in applause)
Daisy: They're all so terrific!
Goofy: Oh, those beetles! I get it now!
Horace: There's gonna be a lot of trash after all these bands are through.
Mickey: Well, what a way to get the show going! Now then...
Weasel: Hold it right there, Mouse! Ain't you forgettin' somethin'?
Lizard: We're a band, too, you know!
Mickey: You are? I've never heard of you before!
Weasel: We're the Riverbottom Nightmare Band!
Mickey: I'm sorry, fellas. But all the bands have just finished performing and...
(Chuck shows up and glares at Mickey)
On second thought, we can fit you in. (Chuckles nervously)
And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the Riverbottom Nightmare Band.
(Band plays "Riverbottom Nightmare Band", thunderous applause)
Mickey: I can't believe they like them!
Daisy: Must be pretty popular despite how menacing they look.

Chapter 5:
(Car approaching)
Daisy: Oh, that must be them! Mickey, they're here!
Mickey: It's about time!
Kermit:Well, Mickey, we finally made it!
Mickey: Good thing, too. The Riverbottom Nightmare Band just came through and made a mess on the stage!
Kermit: Good grief. Now that we're here, we can really get this show going.
Mickey: Terrific! As soon as Goofy gets the stage clean, we'll go introduce you.
Statler: I wonder where all the other Muppets are?
Waldorf: Maybe they heard how much of a mess the bands left behind, they won't even bother to show up!
( Both laugh)
Mike: That's where you're wrong, you silly old men! Because ladies and gentlemen, introducing the one, the only, the green Kermit the Frog!
(Applause)
Kermit: Thank you! Thank you all! Well, it certainly is an honor to be here at the House of Mouse with all my friends from the Muppet world. Now as you know, tonight we are putting together our best acts, a tribute to Jim Henson and we'll introduce our new member of the gang, from our new movie, The Muppets, Walter! So without further ado, let's get things moving with the show! Yaaaaaaaaay!
(Muppet Show theme plays)
Girls: It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights.
It's time to meet the Muppets at the House of Mouse tonight!
Boys:It's time to put on makeup, it's time to dress up right.
It's time to get things started...
Audience:Why don't you get thing started?
Waldorf: I can't believe they're putting on a show for a bunch of animated characters!
Statler:So what? They're a lot more animated than the Muppets are!
(Both laugh)
Kermit: It's time to get things started
Muppets: on the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational
this is what we call The Muppet Show!
(Gonzo blows the trumpet which surprises Donald who was trying to take Gonzo's spot)

Chapter 6:
Kermit: Thank you all very much! Hi-ho and welcome to a fantastic show tonight! First, in our show, we'll perform a medley of our favorite songs from "The Muppet Show" and we'll start with one of my favorite songs, "Lydia the Tatooed Lady"
Lydia, oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia?
Lydia the tatooed lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclopedia, oh Lydia the queen of tatoo.
On her back is the battle of Waterloo, beside it, the wreck of the Hesparas, too
and proudly above waves the red, white and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia.
La-da-da, da-da-da. La-da-da, da-da-da.
Scooter:I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear.
Oh, I step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear.
Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming.
Oh, would think a boy and bear could be well accepted everywhere.
It's just amazing how fair he can be.
Seen at the nicest places where well fed faces all stop to stare.
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear.
Fozzie: They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they?
Scooter: Oh, who would think a boy and bear could be well accepted everywhere?
It's just accepted how fair people can be.
Fozzie: Who needs money when we're funny?
Scooter: A great attraction everywhere will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear.
It's Simon Smith
Both: and the amazing dancing bear!
Pigs:
(Chorus):
Pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs having fun,
dancing, singing in the sun.
Yoo-hoo, Piggy, come and dance.
Tell us of your gay romance.
Miss Piggy:All day long, I sit around dreaming of the love I've found
because I really love my frog and when I love, I go whole hog
(Chorus repeats)
Kermie is the reason why I have this twinkle in my eye.
Kermie, Kermie, shy and cute.
How I love that handsome brute.
Pigs:Pigs, pigs, pigs, pigs having fun.
Dancing, singing in the sun.
Yoo-hoo, Kermit, come and dance.
Tell us of your gay romance.
Kermit: Frog has come to have his say,
the pig will never get her way.
Bib and napkin, knife and fork is the only way that I'll touch pork.
Then Piggy enters and karate chops him
Robin: Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top
so this is the stair where I always stop.
Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town
and all sorts of funny thoughts run 'round my head.
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead.
Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top.
So this is the stair where I always stop.
Rowlf: Life is a funny thing, sometimes you laugh and sing.
Gonzo: Sometimes you grumble and cuss.
Rowlf: But either way, what do we care?
Both: We got us.
Scooter: We have our ups and downs, our share of smiles and frowns.
Fozzie: But through it all, we don't fuss.
'Cause we've got a special thing going.
All: We got us.
Miss Piggy:Some people like to go through their life single.
Oh, that wouldn't suit us at all.
Kermit:Why sing a melody as a soliloquy when it's more fun to be
All: harmonizing?
Fozzie: Big finish, everyone!
All:People may say we are crazy the way we are that we won't even discuss.
'Cause what we've got they can't smother, we'd trade our life for no other.
They've only got one another, but we got us!
Waldorf:You know, back at the Muppet Theater, these numbers weren't funny.
Statler: That's true.
Waldorf: But here at the House of Mouse, they probably don't make sense!

Chapter 7:
Kermit: And now, ladies and gentlemen, we would like to present to you a music filled tribute to the greatest children's show in the world, you may be familiar with it if you grew up with it, it's the one, the only...Sesame Street!
Cast: Sunny day sweepin' the clouds away.
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
Come and play, everything's a-okay.
Friendly neighbors there, that's where we meet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
How to get to Sesame Street?
Ernie: Oh, Rubber Duckie, you're the one.
You make bath time lots of fun.
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you.
Vo-Vo-Vo-de-o.
Rubber Duckie, joy of joys.
When I squeeze you, you make noise.
Rubber Duckie, you're my very best friend, it's true.
Oh, every day when I make my way to the tubby,
I find a little fella whose cute and yellow and chubby.
Rub-a-dub-dubby.
Rubber Duckie, you're so fine.
Rubber Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you.
Bert: Doin' the pigeon, doin' the pigeon.
Dancing a little smidgeon of the kind of ballet, sweeps me away.
Doin' the pigeon, doin' the pigeon.
People may smile, but I don't mind.
They'll never understand the kind of fun I find.
Doin' the pigeon, doin' the pigeon.
Doin' the pigeon every day.
Big Bird: ABC-DEFGHI-JKLMNOP-QRSTUVWXYZ, it's the most remarkable word I've ever seen.
ABC-DEFGHI-JKLMNNOP-QRSTUVWXYZ, I wish I knew exactly what I mean.
It starts out like an A word as anyone can see,
But somewhere in the middle, it gets awfully "QR" to me.
ABC-DEFGHI-JKLMNOP-QRSTUVWXYZ, if I ever find out just what this word can mean,
I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen.
Oscar: Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty, anything ragged or rotten or rusty.
Yes, I love trash!
Cookie Monster: C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.
C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C.
Grover: Okay, this is the audience participation part. Everyone sing after me!
Sing what I sing, sing after me.
Be my echo if you can be.
Sing tra-la-la. (Tra-la-la)
Me, me, me. (Me, me, me)
Ha, ha, ha. ( Ha, ha, ha)
Hee, hee, hee. ( Hee, hee, hee)
Pick a peck of peppers. (Pick a peck of peppers)
Fiddle diddle dee. (Fiddle diddle dee)
Be my echo (be my echo)
Sing what I sing (sing what I sing)
Follow the leader and sing after me.
Count: You know that I am called The Count
Because I really love to count.
Sometimes I sit and count all day, but sometimes I get carried away.
Oh, I count slowly, slowly, slowly getting faster.
Once I've started counting it's very hard to stop.
Faster, faster, it is so exciting.
I could count forever, count until I drop.
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2. I love counting, whatever the amount.
1, 2, 3, 4. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2. That's the song of The Count.
Elmo: This is the song, la-la-la-la. Elmo's song.
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, Elmo's song.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la. La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
He loves to sing, la-la-la-la, Elmo's song.
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la. Elmo's song.
He wrote the music, he wrote the words, that's Elmo's song.
Zoe: Sing, sing a song.
Telly: Sing out loud, sing out strong.
Snuffy: Sing of good things, not bad.
Abby: Sing of happy, not sad.
Telly: Everyone now, sing with us!
Cast, Muppets and audience: Sing, sing a song.
Make it simple to last your whole life long.
Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear.
Sing, sing a song.
Just sing, sing a song.
Statler: You know, all those Sesame Street songs sure bring back memories of my childhood.
Waldorf: In your childhood, you didn't have TV or a good taste in entertainment.
Statler: Hey, watch it! Sesame Street has been on the air for over forty years now.
Waldorf: At least it's lasted longer than The Muppet Show!
(Both laugh)

Yes! I grew up with Sesame Street! That was the show I started to watch back in the 1990s and also watching sesame street home videos and stuff. Great childhood memories!
