I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along - Rowlf the Dog and Kermit the Frog

I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along, from The Muppet Movie, 1979.

Rowlf and Kermit sing about women.

I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO. NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED.

You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em.
There's somethin' irresistabullish about 'em.
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin' better comes along.

It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler.
If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar.
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.

Still, it's fun when they're fetching,
And agree to see an etching
That you keep at your lily pad.
There is no solution, it's part of evolution,
The pitter patter of soles,
The little feet of tadpoles.

(Ah, Rowlf, tadpoles don't have feet!)
(Oh. Sorry about that.... 2, 3, 4)

There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'
Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'.
A skunk was badgered the results were strong.
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
(Beep bop bidder da dum dum bum bum bum!)

You don't suppose that because he's a dog, and people usually take dogs for a walk, that he goes out for a walk by himself?

[eldusto84]

"Stay away from women, that's my motto."

"But I can't..."

"Neither can I, that's my trouble!"

Such great writing!

[archer1949]

That's one groovy 70's outfit Kermit's rockin'!

[mcboltron]

Rowlf is pretty tom waits-esque

[Michael Desai]

Wow. When the Muppets can explain your life like this song...

[lolbotist]

is it weird this being the start of a relationship between Rowlf and Kermit?

[Kasari Baretu]

Yep. I no longer feel weird singing a duet with myself.

[jbringman]

This is Jim singing with Jim.
