KERMIT: Hi-ho.
This is Kermit the Frog, and I am speaking to you
from the studio of that world famous composer Mr. Don Music.
DON MUSIC: Oh, I'll never get it!
[SOBBING]
KERMIT: He's working on his next big hit song.
Uh, pardon me, Don.
Ah, Don,
DON MUSIC: What?
What?
KERMIT: Don, over here.
Kermit the Frog here.
DON MUSIC: What?
Oh.
KERMIT: Yes, I was wondering if we could hear this song
that you're working on.
DON MUSIC: Well, It's not finished yet.
I have to find one last word.
But, but you could hear what I have so far if you'd like.
KERMIT: Oh, well yes.
We'd like that very much.
DON MUSIC: All right.
KERMIT: Mm-hmm.
DON MUSIC: Well, it goes like this,
[SINGING] Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily merrily, merrily, life
is but a-- but a-- [MUMBLING] but a-- oh, I'll never get it!
Never, never, oh!
[SOBBING] What is life anyway?
KERMIT: Well, um [CLEARS THROAT] I'm
sure I don't know what life is, but uh, uh Don,
it's certainly a treat just to be
able to hear you work though, you know.
DON MUSIC: Ah, did you stay a treat?
KERMIT: Yes, that's what I said.
DON MUSIC: Well, that's it!
That's it!
KERMIT: That's it?
DON MUSIC: [SINGING] Row, row, row your boat gently
down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a treat.
There you go, it's beautiful, isn't it?
KERMIT: Uh--
DON MUSIC: One of my finest so far.
KERMIT: Well, yeah, but you see, treat
doesn't rhyme with stream.
DON MUSIC: Oh.
KERMIT: You said row down the stream.
DON MUSIC: Oh, of course not.
Oh, no!
KERMIT: It's got to rhyme with a--
DON MUSIC: I'll never!
[SOBBING]
KERMIT: Um, um.
DON MUSIC: What I need is to find
a word that sounds like treat.
KERMIT: That's true.
DON MUSIC: A rhyme for treat.
KERMIT: Mm-hmm.
DON MUSIC: I've got it, I've got it.
[SINGING] Row, row, row your boat gently down the street,
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a treat.
There you go!
All right, treat and street do rhyme.
KERMIT: Uh, yeah, yeah, but you see, you don't, you don't
row a boat down the street.
See, there's no water, there's no water in a street.
DON MUSIC: Oh!
KERMIT: Don, Don.
DON MUSIC: Of course you don't row a boat down a street.
KERMIT: Yeah, are you, are you OK there?
DON MUSIC: I'll be, I'll be all right.
It's just I--
KERMIT: That's kind of hard on the head
when you do that, you know.
DON MUSIC: I, I know, I know I-- wait, wait, I've got it.
KERMIT: You got it?
OK.
DON MUSIC: If you don't row a boat down the street, then
[SINGING] row, row, row, your car gently down the street.
KERMIT: Car?
DON MUSIC: [SINGING] Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life
is but a treat.
There you go!
There are cars on the street all the time!
KERMIT: Uh, yeah, but you don't row them.
I mean, you don't row a car.
Nobody rows a car.
You don't row a car.
DON MUSIC: Oh! [SOBBING] Of course not!
KERMIT: Don!
DON MUSIC: Of course you don't row a car but, but--
KERMIT: You OK, there?
DON MUSIC: But wait!
Wait, wait, wait!
KERMIT: What?
DON MUSIC: [SINGING] Drive, drive, drive your car gently
down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but at treat.
There you go!
What do you think?
KERMIT: I love it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ALL: [SINGING] Drive, drive, drive your car gently
down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a treat.
LITTLE CHRISSY AND THE ALPHABEATS:
[SINGING] Drive, drive, drive your car gently
down the street.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a treat.
DON MUSIC: [SINGING] Drive, drive your car down the street.
Drive it gently down the street!
Drive it merrily, 'cause life is but a dream!
Yeah!
KERMIT: That's another instant evergreen
from the pen of Don Music.

ZOE: Zoeceratops!
TELLY MONSTER: Tellydactyl!
ROSITA: Rositaraptor!
