Characters Popping Out of the Walls

I've been going through my papers. My mountains of papers. Trying to cull.

It's like digging. Archeology, like.

Look what I found. It's lyrics. From the Muppet Show.

It works best in vaudeville cockney.


Our House

Oh, a man came into our house, our house, our house,
A man came into our house to sell us some brooms.
So, we asked him to come in, and we hit him with a hammer
And we hid him in the closet in my father's room!

Chorus:
But you're always welcome at our house!
Anytime of the day,
Yes, you're always welcome at our house,
And we hope you will stay.

Oh, a lady came to our house, our house, our house,
The lady came to find out why I was not in school.
So, we asked her to come in, and we gave her some poisoned lemonade
And put her in the freezer where it's nice and cool.

(Chorus)

Then a kid came into our yard, our yard, our yard,
A kid came into our yard to get his ball.
So, we asked him to come in, and we took him in the basement
And we sealed him up inside the basement wall.

(Chorus)

So, when you come to our house, our house, our house,
When you come to our house, we will have some fun.
We will ask you to come in, and we'll take you in the kitchen
And we'll put you in the oven until you are done.

(Chorus)

And we know ...... you will stay.




Jim Henson was a genius. Shame about the Disney thing.
