i hope that somethin better comes along

Muppets

You can t live with em and you can t live without em
There s somethin irresistible-ish about em
We grin and bear it cause the nights are long
But I hope that somethin better comes along

It s no good complainin , and it s pointless to holler
If she s a beauty, then she ll get underneath your collar
Yeah, she made a monkey out of old King Kong
Man, I hope that somethin better comes along

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

Don t mean to scare ya, my friend, but I betcha
Come Father s Day, the litter bug is gonna getcha
The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong
Well, I hope that somethin better comes along

Still, it s fun when they re fetching
And agree to see an etching that you keep at your lily pad
Well, there s no solution, it s part of evolution
The pitter-patter of soles, the little feet of tadpoles

There s no limitation to mixin and matchin
Some get an itchin for a critter they ve been scratchin
A skunk was badgered, the results were strong
And I hope that somethin better
I hope that somethin better, yeah
I hope that somethin better comes along
