Fozzie rushes up to Scooter.
|
Fozzie
|
Scooter, have you heard anything from Kermit yet?
|
Scooter
|
No, not yet.
|
Fozzie
|
Oh, no!
|
Scooter
|
(glances at the clipboard) The next thing on the show is supposed to be the rhyming song!
|
Fozzie
|
(grabs Scooter) The rhyming song?!?
|
Scooter
|
Yeah!
|
Fozzie
|
(panicking) But — but we're not ready for the rhyming song!!
|
Scooter
|
(also panicking) I know we're not ready for the rhyming song!
|
Fozzie
|
Well, what's on now?
|
Scooter
|
Oh, nothing.
|
|
A beat.
|
Fozzie
|
OK, everybody! The rhyming song!
|
|
Link and Annie Sue gather with Scooter and Fozzie. They all clamor amongst each other.
|
Scooter
|
Yeah, let's go.
|
Fozzie
|
Annie Sue? Link? Yeah, come on.
|
Link Hogthrob
|
Th-the-the what?
|
Annie Sue
|
But I can't remember it!
|
Fozzie
|
You know the rhyming song!
|
Annie Sue
|
Oh, yeah, sure. Great! (follows Fozzie and Scooter away)
|
Link Hogthrob
|
What is the uh, what is the uh … (to the chickens) Stand by for the rhyming song. (runs to catch up with the others)
|
Fozzie
|
No, Scooter, it's me first. Me, me, me. Curtain!
|
|
The curtain rises as music begins. Link looks around in confusion, while Fozzie dances.
|
Fozzie
|
Let's all sing the rhyming song,
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
Let's take turns and rhyme together.
The rhyming song.
|
|
Scooter steps up.
|
Scooter
|
I was hungry, now I'm not.
|
Fozzie
|
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
|
Scooter
|
'Cause I ate some beans and grapes.
|
|
They face each other in confusion, then continue.
|
Fozzie & Scooter
|
The rhyming song?
Let's all sing the rhyming song,
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
Let's take turns and rhyme together.
The rhyming song.
|
|
Annie Sue steps up.
|
Annie Sue
|
I left my knees in your car.
|
All three
|
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
|
Annie Sue
|
My laundry's ready at half past nine.
|
|
They face each other in confusion, then continue. Fozzie pulls Link in the right direction.
|
All three
|
The rhyming song?
Let's all sing the rhyming song,
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
Let's take turns and rhyme together.
The rhyming song.
|
Fozzie
|
Link!
|
Link Hogthrob
|
Stars are twinkling in the sky.
|
The other three
|
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
|
Link Hogthrob
|
There's no hot water in my hotel.
|
The other three
|
The rhyming song?
|
Scooter
|
This is not the rhyming song.
|
All four
|
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
|
Fozzie
|
I know it's not the rhyming song.
|
All four
|
The rhyming song.
|
|
|
Fozzie
|
Oh, brother!
|
Link Hogthrob
|
What do we do now?
|
Annie Sue
|
I don't know!
|
All four
|
The rhyming song, the rhyming song.
|
Fozzie
|
Let's all jump up and down and wave our arms,
And get off the stage!
|
|
They all do so, ending the number awkwardly as the curtain closes. The phone rings.
|
Fozzie
|
Get the phone, Scooter! The phone!
|
Waldorf
|
The rhyming song, huh? They're really getting desperate.
|
Statler
|
Mmm. Desperation's a good sign. Soon they may panic and run away.
|
|
They chuckle.
