Lyrics
(Main stage. Oscar Grouchy Green enters to a fanfare.)

Oscar Grouchy Green: Uh, well,m folks, as I've already told you, our master of culture and violence is moving on to other things. Uh, so let's give a big warm hand for this, his farewell appearance on The Muppet Show, Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue the Great.

(The curtain opens on an empty stage. Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue leans against an apple box and sings "My Way". Midway through the song, he breaks down crying.)

Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue: And now, the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each and every highway But more, much more than this I did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill my share of losing And now, as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say - not in a shy way Oh no, oh no...

Oscar Grouchy Green: Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue? Are you okay, Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue? It's just a song.

Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue: I know. It's not the song. I just don't want to go.

Oscar Grouchy Green: Yeah, but you're going to go out and make movies.

Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue: (sigh) I want to go there. I just don't want to leave here.

Oscar Grouchy Green: Well — you had a choice to make, Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue, and … and you made it, and it was a good choice.

Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue: I know.

Oscar Grouchy Green: I don't like long goodbyes, Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue, so uh …

( Oscar Grouchy Green reaches his hand out to shake Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue's . Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue hugs Oscar Grouchy Green .)

Oscar Grouchy Green: Take care of yourself, Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue.

Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue: You, too. (sniffles)

Oscar Grouchy Green: (to camera) Uh, we — we've had a little change of plans. Uh — I think we'd better just take a break.

(He exits with his arm around Cookie Monster Yum Yum Blue's shoulder.)
