Not sure if it's the right place to post this, but here it is:

(We hear the opening notes. Sid and his classmates look at a rainbow with Teacher Susie.)

Sid: Uh, Susie? Why are there colors in a rainbow?

Susie: Good question, Sid! I even know a song about rainbows! And I'll let some friends of mine sing for you.

Gabriela: Awesome!

(We then see Gobo, his fellow Fraggles, and Uncle Traveling Matt strumming a guitar.)

Gobo: Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

Matt: And what's on the other side?

Red: Rainbows are visions, but only illusions

Wembley: And rainbows have nothing to hide

(Then, we see Bear and his friends in the Big Blue House.)

Bear: So, we've been told and some choose to believe it

Tutter: I know they're wrong, wait and see

All Muppets: Someday, we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me!

(We then see the Pajanimals.)

Squacky: Who said that every wish would be heard and answered?

Cow Bella: When wished on the morning star?

Sweetpea Sue: Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it

Apollo: And look what it's done so far

(We then see Mr. Conductor with Buddy, Tiny, Shiny, and Don, outside the Pteranodon Terrace station.)

Mr. Conductor: What's so amazing that keeps up stargazing?

Kids: And who do we think we might see?

All Muppets: Someday, we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me

Gerald: (giggles) This is so fun!

May: But what does it have to do with science?

(We then see Sesame Street at night.)

Sesame Street cast: All of us under its spell, we know that it's probably magic

(We then see Emmet Otter with his ma.)

Alice Otter: Have you been half-asleep, and have you heard voices?

Emmet: I've heard them calling my name

(We then see the bunnies from The Tale of the Bunny Picnic.)

Bunnies: Is this the sweet sound that calls the young sailors?

Bean: The voice might be one and the same

(We then see the Skrumps.)

Wishbone: I've heard it too many times to ignore it

(Skrumpy then "sings" as the words "It's something that I'm supposed to be" appear on screen while he bangs his drums as furiously as Animal.)

Raisins: I didn't know you had different tastes in music, Wishbone.

Wishbone: You got it, Raisins, baby!

All Muppets: Someday, we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers, and me!

(Sid, Gabriela, Gerald, and May are then seen "la-la"ing with the others. In another room, the classic Muppets are seen watching the song on a computer.)

Kermit: Boy, we really know how to make a difference, don't we?
