Lyrics:

Female Chorus:
It's time to play the music
It's time to light the lights
It's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.

Male Chorus:
It's time to put on makeup
It's time to dress up right
It's time to raise the curtain on the Muppet Show tonight.

Waldorf:
Why do we always come here

Statler:
I guess we'll never know

Waldorf:
It's like a kind of torture

Both:
To have to watch the show.

Kermit:
To introduce out guest star
That's what I'm here to do
So it really makes me happy
To introduce to you...

Muppets:
So now let's get things started

Audience:
Why don't you get things started?

Kermit:
It's time to get things started

Muppets:
On the most sensational inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational
This is what we call the Muppet Show!
