We need you! Come back to us!

Look, maybe you do know me,

but I don't remember you.

I wish I did.

You'd better take your places.

What are we going to do?

Look at me. You are not Phil.

You are Kermit the Frog.

That's Gonzo. That's Fozzie.

That's Rowlf and Scooter.

They're your friends.

You wrote this show for them.

That's Ronnie and Jenny. They're

your friends too. And I'm Piggy. Listen.

You are Kermit the Frog,

and you love me.

You want to marry me.

You want to have children with me.

With you?

In love with a pig?

Wait till I tell the guys

in marketing.

Maybe you expect me

to go hog-wild?

Maybe you could

bring home the bacon, huh?

The sounds of love.

Cancel the show!

- Where am I anyway?

- Kermit!

- Kermy, you remember us!

- You remembered!

- Are you all right?

- What's going on?

You're going on.

It's Broadway! You made it!

No, the script isn't ready.

- There's something missing.

- It's terrific.

We got to tell everybody

Kermit's okay. Come on.

Do you remember

the opening number?

You mean...

Look at me

Here I am

Right where I belong

I see that face

comin'back to me

Like an old familiar song

What better place

could anyone be

'Cause you're here with me

It's all I've been lookin'for

and so much more

And now I'm here

Now you're here

Nothin'can go wrong

'cause I am right where

- I belong

- Yes!

Here we go!

Hi, guys! Kermit, could our friends

watch the show from backstage?

- Could they?

- Wait a minute.

No, they cannot

watch the show from backstage.

That's it! That's what's

been missing from the show.

That's what we need: More frogs and dogs

and bears and chickens and whatever.

You're not gonna watch the show.

You're gonna be in the show!

Come on!

Look at us, here we are

right where we belong

The curtain's up and

the lights are bright

And they're playing our old song

What better place

could anyone be

- It's Kermit!

- 'Cause you're here with me

So, everyone, here we go

Let's start the show

Extra! Extra!

Somebody is getting married!

Somebody is getting married?

Somebody is getting married!

Somebody's getting married!

Somebody's getting married?

Somebody's getting married

Somebody get some flowers

Somebody get a ring

Somebody get a chapel

and a choir to sing

Somebody get an organ to play

'Cause somebody's

getting married today

Somebody get a preacher

Somebody bake a cake

Somebody get some shoes

and rice and presents to take

Somebody get a sweet negligee

'Cause somebody's

getting married

Today

Wedding, wedding

Pig and froggy wedding

Somebody get champagne

Somebody rent a room

Somebody get the lovely bride

and somebody get the...

Somebody get this wedding

under way

Today

Somebody's getting married

Today

Are they here yet?

- Did I miss it? Am I late?

- They'll be here any minute.

- Oh, boy, me can hardly wait.

- Yeah.

- Isn't this exciting?

- It's the wedding of the year.

- Can't we start without them?

- No, you can't until they're here.

They're finally getting

Married

Now

He'll make me happy

Each time I see him

He'll be the reason

My heart can sing

He'll stand beside me

And I'll have everything

She'll make me happy

Each time I hold her

And I will follow

Where my heart may lead

And she'll be all

I ever need

Days go passing into years

Years go passing day by day

She'll make him happy

Now and forever

Until forever

Their love will grow

She only knows

He'll make her happy

That's all she needs

To know

They'll be so happy

Now and forever

Until forever

Their love will grow

I only know

He'll make me happy

That's all I need

To know

Piggy, I thought Gonzo

was gonna play the minister.

Do you, Piggy, take this frog

to be your lawful wedded husband

Do you

I do

Do you, Froggy, take this pig

to be your lawful wedded wife

Until you die

I:

Do you

I do

Then because

you share a love so big

I now pronounce you

Frog and pig

They got married!

What better way

could anything end

Hand in hand with a friend
