Sesame Street - When Muppets Cry lyrics

A long long time ago I can still remember how Jim Henson used to make me smile And I knew if he had his turn That he could make those people learn Knowing they'd be quiet with a smile The shocking news made me quiver My mom broke it to me over dinner I thought of my Kermit Not wanting to believe this was it I can't remember if I cried When I heard the legend died But something touched me deep inside The day the Muppets cried So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died Did Bert and Ernie teach you of love? Can you take a bath alone in the tub If your mommy tells you so? I can bu*ton up my shirt Use a spoon to eat dessert Even reach books way high on the shelf Well, you should see me pour a gla** of juice Wiggle my front tooth that's loose You should see me tie my shoes Man, hear me add up one and two I can recite my alphabet There's not a letter I'll forget But I knew I was out of luck The day the Muppets cried I started singin' So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died Oscar has his things all tattered and worn Full of holes and mostly torn That's the only way it should be Oscar has a newspaper 13 months old A wrapped fish in it, all smelly and cold From garbage that came from you and me 1.........2...........3...........4............5....... 6..........7..........8...........9.............10... You can't forget 11 and 12 The ladybugs they played well If they broke their jump rope Instead they'd tell knock knock jokes At their picnic in the park The day the Muppets cried We were singin' So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died Cookie Monster was really no monster He just thought the moon was a cookie impostor A gla** of cookie juice on the side I'll always prefer soft boiled cookies and pie I love my cookies scrambled or fried C is for cookie and that's good enough for me Kermit could make Miss Piggy swoon While Big Bird and Snuffleupagus sang their tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance I would've never known which one was not like the other Was it the guy with the yellow hood? I sang along every chance I could The day the Muppets cried We started singin' So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died So there we were all in one tub Singin' rubber ducky you're the one He made bath time so much fun So, come on ducky be yellow, ducky be chubby He always made his way into the tubby Rubber ducky I'm awfully fond of you You should see me brush my hair Even pick out the clothes I wear It's no problem you see Just thank Grover, he taught me And as my Mom tucked me in goodnight I turned on my Elmo night light I knew something was missing alright The day the Muppets cried I was singin' So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died I'm waiting for a sunny day To lift me up and wipe my tears away Was Sesame Street going to be O.K.? I turned on my TV some more Where I'd learned so many years before But the man said the Muppets couldn't come out and play And in the streets the children screamed But I sat and lived his dreams As long as I live his words are spoken His world was always open A part of me I'll miss the most The Count, Kermit and cookies on toast His living became a legend The day the Muppets cried So, why, why must I say goodbye Kermit's eyes were heavy As Miss Piggy cried I'll miss the good ol' days with cookies scrambled or fried Singin' that's the day a part of me died That's the day a part of me died
