Bernadette Peters sings "Take a Little One Step" and teaches Sweetums, Thog, and Timmy Monster how to dance in episode 212 of The Muppet Show.

Originally written for the musical "Lollipop" in 1924, "Take a Little One Step" became popular when it was included in the musical "No, No Nanette" a year later in 1925. "No, No Nanette" was a big hit again when it was revived on Broadway in the early 1970s.
