Halfway Down the Stairs, based on a poem by A.A. Milne, was Robin's only significant performance during the first season of The Muppet Show, before he became known as Kermit's nephew. It's basically a sweet little song that Robin sang while sitting in the middle of a flight of stairs.

The tune was written by Harold Fraser-Simpson, who put many of Milne's poems to music.

This song was included in The Muppet Show Episode 110: Harvey Korman, and the sequence was refilmed for certain of the international versions of The Muppet Show. It was also redone for an appearance on Top of the Pops. This song was included in The Muppet Show (LP) and then released as a single, which made it to the top 10 in England. it would later be included in The Best of The Muppets (CD), and Rowlf the Dog would go on to sing a cover of this song in his album, Ol' Brown Ears is Back (CD).

It was also included in the Playhouse Video: Children's Songs and Stories with The Muppets.
