This one goes out to a friend of mine who is in Boston right now with a companion who isn't feeling so hot.
And, again, this is a song which was performed on the very first Muppet Show episode -- a fact I learned from the Season One Boxed set.
Although, it must be told, this song was performed by Rowlf only in the UK version of the first episode -- it was cut from the US version due to advertising time restraints.
Rowlf proclaims this to be the worst song ever -- his mother turns
down her hearing aides when he plays it.
You and I and George
You... and I and George
Went strolling through the park one day...
And then, you held my hand
As if to say:
"I love you."
And then,
We passed a brook --
And George fell in and drowned himself
And floated
Out to sea
Leaving you alo-ooone
With me!
Wow - another deep song from the Muppet Show. Who knew?
