Over here for a Quicktime movie clip of "Moving Right Along" from Henson.Com (1.6 MB)
Kermit
Movin' right along in search of good times and good news,
With good friends, you can't lose,
Fozzie:
This could become a habit.
Kermit:
Opportunity just knocked, let's reach out and grab it,
Together we'll nab it.
Fozzie:
Ya! We'll hitch-hike, bus, or yellow cab it.
Kermit (spoken): Cab it?
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Kermit:
Foot-loose and fancy free.
Gettin' there is half the fun; come share it with me.
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along!
Kermit:
Doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon
We'll learn to share the load.
Fozzie:
We don't need a map to keep this show on the road.
(Dialogue)
Kermit: (looking at the map) Hey, Fozzie, I want you to turn
left when you get to a fork in the road.
Fozzie: Yessir: turn left at the fork in the road.
(A giant fork appears in a fork in the road)
Fozzie: KERMIT!
Kermit: I don't believe that.
Kermit:
Movin' right along we found a life on the highway,
Fozzie:
And your way is my way--
Kermit:
So trust my navigation.
Fozzie:
California here we come, come pie-in-the-sky land.
Kermit:
Palm trees and warm sand--
Fozzie:
Though sadly we just left Rhode Island.
Kermit: (spoken) We did what?
Fozzie: (spoken) Just forget it.
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Kermit:
Hey, L.A., where have you gone?
Fozzie:
Send someone to fetch us, we're in Saskatchewan.
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Kermit:
Doog-a-doon, doog-a-doon)
You take it, you know best.
Fozzie:
Hey, I've never seen the sun come up in the West.
Fozzie: (spoken) A bear in his natural
habitat! A studabaker!
(Dialogue)
Kermit: Hey, Fozzie, look up ahead.
(A tall creature is walking on the other side of the quiet empty
highway)
Fozzie: What is that?
Kermit: Maybe we should give him a ride.
Fozzie: I dunno. He's pretty big.
(The studabaker pulls alongside the creature)
Fozzie: Hey, there. Wanna lift?
Big Bird (Carroll Spinney) Oh, no, thanks. I'm
on my way to New York City to try to break into public television!
Fozzie: Ah...hmmm, good luck.
(The studabaker keeps on moving the other direction)
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Fozzie:
We're truly birds of a feather,
We're in this together--
Kermit:
And we know where we're goin'.
Fozzie:
Movie stars with flashy cars and life with the top down.
Kermit:
We're stormin' the big town.
Fozzie:
Yeah! Storm is right, should it be snowin'?
Kermit: (spoken) No, I don't think so.
(On the Soundtrack but not in the Movie)
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Fozzie:
Do I see signs of men?
Kermit:
Yeah, "welcome" on the same post that says "come back again."
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along
Kermit:
Foot-loose and fancy free.
Fozzie:
You're ready for the big time--
Kermit:
Is it ready for me?
Kermit & Fozzie:
Movin' right along!
Movin' right along!
