A Boy and His Frog Marc Gunn

Life is unfair, so they tell me
Because they think I wouldn't know
They only can see a cheap gimmick
On their children's favorite show

They say, "Oh, that's just foam and a wire
Attached to a green velvet sleeve
Anyone can do that" -- well, that's true, I suppose
But who else could make them believe?

What can I say without you there to guide me?
How else am I supposed to give?
How can I sing without you there beside me?
How else am I supposed to live?

You could never just do the expected
I was just an idea in a bog
But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team
Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog

It was me, Rolph, and you, but I think that he knew
There was something that you and I had
The magic we made just kept growing
And none of it ever was bad

Then came Ernie and Scooter and Gonzo
Doctor Teeth, Cookie Monster, and more
But now all of those voices are silent
And I want to go on... but what for?
