Lyrics
Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: Hi, there. Hey, listen, do you know what this is?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Yes, that's a seven.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: Right. Well, I'm gonna sing a song that has lots of seven in it, see? And when I'm finished, I have a riddle for you, okay?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Okay.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: You met a man with seven wives?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: And every wife had seven sacks. Every sack had seven cats, Every cat had seven kittens: Kittens, cats, sacks, and wives, How many were going to St. Ives?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: You mean how many were going to St. Ives?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: (singing) How many were going to St. Ives? (spoken) Okay, that's the riddle. How many were going to St. Ives?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Oh, oh, boy. Are you kidding? See, you sang that song so fast, I can't add all those sevens so fast.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: Okay, well, I tell you what I'm gonna do.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: What?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: I'll sing the song once more. And then you have to answer it, okay?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Oh, okay. I'll figure out on some paper here.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: You met a man with seven wives. I know that.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: And every wife had seven sacks. ( Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Seven sacks. ) Every sack had seven cats, ( Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Seven cats. ) Every cat had seven kittens: ( Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Seven kittens. ) Kittens, cats, sacks, and wives, ( Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Kittens, cats, seven wives. ) How many were going to St. Ives?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Yeah. That's the question. How many were going to St. Ives, huh?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: How many were going to St. Ives?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Okay, well, seventeen cats and seven-hundred...that's seven carried the two and then ninety-nine sacks.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: Okay, that's, that's, that's the riddle. That's the riddle. And how many were going to St. Ives? You have to answer now.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: I'm still figuring. Ninety-nine cats, seventy-eight wives...

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: No, no, no. You give up?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: Well, no, I don't have time to figure, you see.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: No, your time is up! And the answer is, the answer is one.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: One?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: One. Just me. See, I said as I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. You see, the man has seven wives and all of those people were going the other way. See, the riddle was how many were going to St. Ives and I was the only one going to St. Ives because all the others were going the other way.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: How many?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: What?

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: How many were going the other way?

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: Well, gee, I never thought about that. That's not part of the riddle.

Kermit's Green Keen Apple: 1 man, 7 wives, 49 sacks, 343 cats, 2,401 kittens. That makes 2,801 that were going the other way. Hmm.

Gonzo's Great Gonzo Grape: How about that?
