(The opening song sung by newspaper reporters Kermit and Fozzie and photographer Gonzo and the rest of the cast including Charles Grodin...as chaos ensues around them, Gonzo takes a photo of a chicken.)
Over here for a sound file of the first two verses of this song,
from Henson.Com
Gonzo: What a fantastic beginning!
Kermit:
Wow!
There'll be spectacle
There'll be fantasy
There'll be daring do
And stuff like you would never see
All:
Hey! A movie!
Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo:
Yeah! We're gonna be in a movie!
Kermit:
Starring everybody...!
Fozzie:
-- And me!
Fozzie:
There'll be heroes bold!
There'll be comedy!
And a lot of fuss
That ends for us real happily
All:
Hey! A movie!
Kermit & Fozzie:
We can watch it all develop!
All:
Starring everybody...!
Gonzo:
-- And me!
Gonzo:
We'll take a world
And set it on its ear
All Three:
Come on, join in
We're gonna start right here
(Musical interlude)
Kermit:
There'll be crooks and cops!
There'll be villainy!
But with us on call
We'll fix it all real easily
All:
Hey! A movie!
Fozzie:
Wow! It's gonna be terrific!
All:
Starring everybody...!
Nicky (Charles Grodin):

(Musical interlude)
Gonzo: Kermit, I got a great picture of the chicken!
Kermit: Oh good!
All Three:
There'll be mystery
And catastrophe
But it's all in fun
You paid the money -- wait and see!
Hey! A movie!
Sweetums: Is there any way to stop it!?
All:
Starring everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Kermit:
-- And me!
