"Couldn't We Ride?"

written by Joe Raposo

(Miss Piggy and Kermit make up after an argument and go on a bicycle ride together on a beautiful day in London.)
Henson.Com's Movie Clip from "Why Couldn't We Ride?"

Kermit:
Pretty day,
sunny sky,
lovely pictures dance in your eye.

Miss Piggy:
It all seems so right!

Kermit:
It all seems so rare!

Miss Piggy:
Summer sun, summer breeze, watch the wind play tag in the trees!

Both:
The world is so bright!
So perfectly fair!

Chorus singers:
Lovers sing, Children dance, For a minute, we got a chance.

Kermit:
Why couldn't we fly?

Miss Piggy:
I know we can fly!

Chorus singers:
Summer sky,
Pretty day,
Just a push
and we're on the way.
Yes, couldn't we ride?

Both:
Side by side.

(Kermit tries out some stunts on his bicycle, balancing dangerously. At one point, he does a handstand on the seat. Statler & Waldorf look on from a park bench.)

Waldorf: Look, ma, no brains! (laughter)

Chorus:
Why couldn't we fly?

Kermit:
I know we'd get by!

(They are joined by the rest of the Happiness Hotel gang and Gonzo & Fozzie)

Gonzo:
Sunny day.

Fozzie:
Pretty day.

Floyd & Janice:
Just a push
and we're on the way

Kermit & Miss Piggy:
Side by side.

All:
Couldn't we ride?
