Why are there so many shots of the treetops?
Can't see on the other side
Rented a chopper, or maybe a small plane
It seems like a really long ride

I don't know how much this long crane shot cost us
I wish they'd zoom in on me
Someday you'll see me, the frog who plays banjo
It's taking a really long time

Sped up, a little bit, can almost make me out
I'm back here on this fake log
Somebody thought of this, and someone approved it
Jim Henson's underneath

Now I will wiggle and try not to giggle
It's hard with a hand in your seat
Now you have found me, the frog who plays banjo
We're panning, and spinning, 'round me

Camera zooming again
Let's switch to a close-up of my feet...

Now there's another voice and it's my reflection
I must be losing my mind
I am upside down, the blood runs to my head
A duet with one frog's insane

Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, stay left
It's too bad my fingers don't move
Finally you've found me, the frog who plays banjo
Now I will look up pensively

Hey there Jim, now that we're done
I'll ask if you'll remove your arm...

Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? Well now they do! Vocals by Rob O'Hara. Many thanks to DustoMcNeato for the idea and inspiration; I hope mine is 1/10 as good as his. RIP Jim Henson. Please buy both the Muppet Movie on DVD and the Muppet Movie Soundtrack. I think that about covers it.
