[Ab] Kermit, I know you like to make your guests feel at home on [N] the show, but don't you think a piano in the dressing room is overdoing it a little?
Oh, well, you see, I've been meaning to talk to you about this piano.
You see, we've got a gopher around here, and
We've had frogs, chickens, now a gopher.
Oh, yeah, well, you see, that's an old theatrical term.
A gopher is somebody you have around to gopher coffee.
Isn't that interesting?
No.
You see, this gopher of ours, well, he's found a song he wants you to do on the show.
Oh, Kermit, I thought you were more professional than that.
Well, I'm sorry, Elton, but the kid has taste, he's got talent, and he's got an uncle who owns the theatre.
Please, won't you?
Okay, okay, let's hear it.
Okay, Scooter, come on in and get it over with.
Okay, keep going.
Come on, Elton, sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.
You'll love it.

Scooter, I [G] told you that Elton wouldn't like that song.
That song is tasteless.
That song has no melody.
Isn't that the [N] worst song you've ever heard, Elton?
Well, I didn't think so when I wrote it.
You wrote that song?
Yep.
Oh, it's a rather interesting song.
It's got a nice little melody.
[Ab] You really hated it, huh?
Well, uh, yeah.
Well, it can sound [G] different.
It can?
Yeah.
Let me show you.
