The Muppets
Something Better
[JIM]
I wake up each day and wonder what for
It seems to me there must be something more
Something more than stacks of dishes
And washing this old floor
If I had my pick of wishes
I'd wish me out that door
'Cause I'm hungry for adventure
And I'm fed up with this grind
If I don't have some excitement soon
I'm gonna lose my mind
I want a life that's filled with thrills both wild and free
There's gotta be something better,something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me
I look around here and I want to cry
[RIZZO, spoken]
Ah, me too
[JIM]
I feel like the whole world is passing me by
[GONZO, spoken]
It is
[JIM]
And I just can't help but wonder
Am I doomed to wash and dry
And is it a curse I'm under
To do it 'til I die
[GONZO, spoken]
I hope not
[RIZZO, spoken]
Yeah
[JIM]
When I could be an explorer
[GONZO]
(spoken)
Sure, you could
[JIM]
Setting off to distant lands
[RIZZO, spoken]
What, not so fast
[JIM]
Instead of spending every afternoon
Just getting dishpan hands?
My future looks like nowhere that I long to be
[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better,something better
[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this for me
[GONZO, spoken]
Well, now you're talking. Yeah
(sung)
If it's weird and wild let's go and find it
HAHAHAHA
The crazier, the better is what I say
[RIZZO, spoken]
Yeah, that's true
(sung)
To tell the truth, I really wouldn't mind it
[GONZO, spoken]
Mind what?
[RIZZO]
If we found some place with ten square meals a day
[JIM and GONZO]
Let danger call my name
[RIZZO]
If It does, I'm gonna hide
[JIM]
I'll put my courage to the test
[GONZO]
And I'll be by your side
[RIZZO]
He'll be by your side
[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this
[GONZO and RIZZO]
Something more than this to see
[JIM]
I know there's so much I have to see
And I know this life I'm living can't be my destiny
[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better,something better
[JIM]
There's gotta be something better than this for me
[GONZO, spoken]
And me!
[RIZZO, spoken]
Wait a minute, what about me?
[ALL THREE]
There's gotta be something better than this for you and me
