I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along

(Evenin'! You look like you could use a drink.)
(Yeah. I'd like a grasshopper, please.)
(Hey, can we have a grasshopper for the frog?)
(Uh, that-that's Kermit. Kermit the Frog.)
(Oh. Rowlf, Rowlf the Dog, here. Pleased to meetcha!)
(I'm no Heifetz, but I get by.)
(Lemme guess. Broken heart, right?)
(Uh, does it show?)
(Listen, when you've been ticklin' the ivories as long as I have,)
(You've seen a broken heart for every drop of rain,)
(A shattered dream for every falling star!)
(Exactly. She just walked out on me!)
(Eh, typical. That's why I live alone.)
(You do, huh?)
(You bet. I finish work, I go home,)
(Read a book, have a couple of beers,)
(Take myself for a walk, and go to bed.)
(Nice and simple.)
(Stay away from women. That's my motto.)
(But I can't!)
(Neither can I. That's my trouble.)

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

I see what you mean
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 ol' King Kong
I hope that somethin' better comes along

Ah, but what could be better
Than a saucy Irish Setter
Oh, when puppy love comes on strong
Or a collie that's classy
A laddie needs a Lassie
A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life!
(Uh... uh, was that a new leash on life?)
(Oh yeah. Uh, sorry about that. Two, three, four...)

I don't mean to scare ya my friend, but I betcha
Come Father's Day, the litterbug's gonna getcha
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong!
I hope that somethin' better comes along

Still, it's fun when they're fetchin'
And agree to see an etching
That you keep at your lilypad
There is no solution, it's part of evolution
The pitter-patter of soles, the little feet of tadpoles!
(Uh, Rowlf? Tadpoles don't have feet.)
(Oh. Sorry about that. Two, three four...)

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

(It's not often you see a guy that green have the blues that bad...)
