Lyrics
Spoken:

Sprocket: Evening. Sprocket... Sprocket the dog here. Sit yourself down.

Gobo Fraggle: Gobo. Gobo Fraggle.

Sprocket: Pleased to meet you. I'm no Heifetz, but I get by.

Gobo Fraggle: Well, well that's very nice. (sniffle)

Sprocket: Let me guess, broken heart, right?

Gobo Fraggle: Does it show?

Sprocket: Listen, when you've been tickling the ivories as long as I have, you've seen a broken heart for every drop of rain, a shattered dream for every falling star.

Gobo Fraggle: Exactly. She just walked out on me.

Sprocket: Yeah, typical. That's why I live alone.

Gobo Fraggle: You do, huh?

Sprocket: You bet. I finish work, I go home, read a book, have a couple of beers, take myself for a walk, and go to bed. Gobo Fraggle: Nice and simple.

Sprocket: Stay away from women, that's my motto. Gobo Fraggle: But I can't. Sprocket: Neither can I, that's my trouble.

Sung Sprocket: You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em. There's something irresistible-ish about 'em. We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long. I hope that something better comes along.

Gobo Fraggle: I see what you mean. It's no good complaining and pointless to holler.

Rowlf: If she's a beauty she'll get under your collar.

Gobo Fraggle: She made a monkey out of old King Kong.

 Gobo Fraggle and Sprocket : I hope that something better comes along.

Sprocket: Ah, but what could be better Than a saucy Irish setter When puppy love comes on strong? Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie. A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life!

Gobo Fraggle: (spoken) Was that "a new leash on life"?

Sprocket: (spoken) Oh yeah, sorry 'bout that....2, 3, 4.

Gobo Fraggle: I don't mean to scare ya, my friend but I bet ya, Come Father's Day, the litter bug's gonna get ya.

Sprocket: The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong.

 Gobo Fraggle and Sprocket : I hope that something better comes along.

Gobo Fraggle: Still, it's fun when they're fetching, And agree to see an etching That you keep at your lily pad. There is no solution, it's part of evolution.

Sprocket: The pitter patter of soles The little feet of tadpoles.

Gobo Fraggle: (spoken) Uh, Sprocket, tadpoles don't have feet. Sprocket: (spoken) Oh. Sorry about that...2, 3, 4.

Gobo Fraggle: There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'.

Sprocket: Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin', A skunk was badgered the results were strong. I hope that somethin' better,

Gobo Fraggle: I hope that somethin' better,

 Gobo Fraggle and Sprocket : I hope that something better comes along.

Spoken: Doc: Phone call for Gobo Fraggle. You Gobo Fraggle? Gobo Fraggle: Yeah. Doc: Phone. Sprocket: It's not often you see a guy that green that has the blues that bad.
