Muppets The Magic Store Lyrics

Paul Williams, Kenny Ascher

It starts when we're kids
A show-off in school
Makin' faces at friends
You're a clown and a fool
Doin' prat-falls and bird-calls
and bad imitations
Ignoring your homework
Is that dedication?
You work through the mirror
You're getting standing ovations
You're burning with hope
You're building up steam.
What was once juvenilish
Is grown-up and stylish
You're close to your dream
Then somebody out there loves you
Stands up and hollers for more
You found a home at the Magic Store
