Lyrics
Carter: Hello and welcome to The Muppet Theatre Opera where Wayne and Lew Zealand will perform the very moving and silly up and down song from the opera of the same name. This song, like the opera, tells the story of a man, his friend and their ups and downs. It makes very little sense, but it's a lot of fun to watch. And now, Wayne and Lew Zealand.

Wayne: Lew Zealand, my friend, where are you going?

Lew Zealand: Well, I'm going to sit down.

Wayne: Good idea. If you sit down, you'll see that I'll be sitting, too. When you stand up, I'll be up there along with you.

Wayne and Lew Zealand : Down and down and down, Up, up and down and then, Up, up and down and down and down, And up again.

Wayne: And if you go upstairs, that's where I'm going too. And when you go downstairs, that's where I'll follow you.

Wayne and Lew Zealand : Down and down and down, Up, up and down and then, Up, up and down and down and down, And up again.

Wayne: I'm up a mountain high, that's where I'm climbing to. When you climb down, don't try it, I will climb down with you.

Wayne and Lew Zealand : Down and down and down, Up, up and down and then, Up, up and down and down and down, And up again.

Wayne: Now bring the curtain down because the opera is through. Then bring it up again and we will bow for you.

Wayne and Lew Zealand : Down and down and down, Up, up and down and then, Up, up and down and down and down, And up again. Down, up.

(applause)

Lew Zealand: (laughing)
