Was this it?

You get up in the morning,
Try and have some fun,
And then your stupid Daddy tells you that you're,
Dum de dum de dum de dum.
Dum de dum de dum de dum.

You try and eat your breakfast,
Blowing bubble gum,
And then your stupid Mommy tells you that you're,
Dum de dum de dum de dum.
Dum de dum de dum de dum.

You want to catch a Fraggle,
Catch it for your mom,
And then your Daddy gives you a job that's really,
Dum de dum de dum de dum.
Dum de dum de dum de dum.

"Oh, boy. This pumpkin knife is really dull! Achoo! Oh, brudder.
Gee, I wish I was that handsome young Gorg that the magic genie
appeared to. Then the genie would say to me, `Oh handsome Gorg,
you have proved yourself ready in every way. You may have
anything, anything in the Universe.' And then I would gaze up at
the genie in amazement and I would say, `Why thank you, Mr. Genie.
I'll have a new pumpkin knife." -Junior Gorg

I wish I had a genie.
I wish I had a chum.
I wish I had a song to sing that wasn't only,
Dum de dum de dum de dum
Dum de dum de dum de dum
Dum de dum de dum de dum
Dum de dum de dum de ... Ah...ah.. ACHOO!!! DUM!



(Here's a similar song sung mainly by Pa Gorg with Junior backing up)

Pa: A son, a son,
A dummy for a son.
It's bad enough you huff and puff,
To make a kingdom run.

Why, should I,
Be forced to satisfy,
A witless, wonder, dunder, blunder,
Dummy of a son?

Junior: Dum de dum of a son de dum of a gun
De dum of a son de dum of a gun

Pa: So come, someone,
And take away my son.
My enemies attack and tease,
Until the kingdom's done.

But worse, I curse,
The wretched Universe,
That brought a witless, dunder, blunder,
Dummy of a son.

Junior: Dum de dum of a son de dum of a gun
De dum of a son de dum of a gun

My son, my son,
You're stupid as they come.
I taught you all that I recall,
So how come you're so dumb?

I cry, good-bye,
I'll prob'ly go and hide, [I think that's what it was.]
But always here behind my rear,
I see my stupid son.

Junior: Dum de dum of a son de dum of a gun
De dum of a son de dum of a gun
De dum de dum de dum de dum de



Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name.

Check out this kickin' site, it has all the songs from Fraggle Rock on it! I sure you can find it there. It also has songs from the Muppet Show and the Muppet Movies, basicly anything that is Jim Henson related. I am in love with this site. (I don't think I would marry it though)

This is another song Junior sang - one of my favs!!

How Wide, How Far, How Long

Performed by Junior Gorg

I know the Universe is everywhere.
It's full of radishes and things.
It's full of air.

But when I try to understand,
I always wonder in despair.
How wide, how far, how real it is.

And if the Universe is made like me,
It must get lonely in the dark and ask for tea,
And is there anybody here who really knows just how to see,
How wide, how far, how real it is?

The universe is real but no one will reveal,
How wide, how real it is.
