Fraggle Rock Theme
Dance your cares away,
Work your cares away,
Follow Me
Every day the world begins again
Every morning, every day
While the sun goes 'round I'll still be found
Listen to Convincing John - (Don't Eat Towers)
Listen to Convincing John,
Now then listen to me Fraggles.
But there's a mighty day a coming,
So if you want to get ahold of something extra good as gold,
Listen to Convincing John,
Well you eat a Doozer tower,
Listen to Convincing John,
And if you want to hear a story,
He was sitting on a byway,
Then he started in a-changing and he started rearranging,
Listen to Convincing John,
Doozer Knitting Song
It's neat and it's sweet.
You know, knittin's friendly,
Well it's knit one pearl two.
There's a green, there's a red.
You can k-nit all day and k-nothin' fits.
Well it's knit one pearl two.
Do It On My Own
Well, I can paint and I can sew and I can sweep it clean.
I can do it on my own. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can build a grand stand,
I can do it on my own. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Don't pretend that you can bake and race and bang a hammer.
I can swim and I can win,
I can do it on my own. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Wemblin' Fool
Well, when I'm wembling west,
So now it's doodley do, doodley doo,
We wemble most to the east,
And it's a doodley, doodley doo,
Why?
Sometimes I'm alone,
And I would like to know,
Why do caterpillars crawl?
Here I go again.
Secrets come and go.
Why do caterpillars crawl?
Lost and Found
You don't know how it tastes until you try.
(Yodel)
Once I thought the world was made for me.
Now I've done some living and I know,
Workin', Workin'
Wake up in the morning, get yourself to work.
Workin' (x's 8)
I'd like to tell the story of what my work is for.
Workin' (x's 16)
When I was just a baby, Pappy used to roam.
Workin' (x's 8)
Give me work that's boring, boring to the core.
Workin' (x's 9)
Wake up in the morning, get yourself to work.
Workin' ...
Catch the Tail by the Tiger
"Let me explain something to ya," Gobo.
No one knows where we're going.
Only one thing can save us.
Catch a tail by the tiger.
"Uh, Gobo, I think you got it backwards. The saying is
"Sure. If you want to do it the easy way.
Catch a tail by the tiger.
Steely gaze in the sunrise.
Danger lurks at the crossroads.
Dum of a Son of a Gun
A son, a son,
Why, should I,
Dum de dum of a son de dum of a gun
So come, someone,
But worse, I curse,
My son, my son,
I cry, good-bye,
Brave Boy Jump Up
When you're starting to feel some fear,
When you're starting to be scared all night,
Here's a spell,
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Well, come on mister, got to be brave boy.
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Tell your friends, tell your enemies,
Here's a spell,
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Muck and Goo
Give me one and give me two,
One, two, muck and goo,
Give me five and give me six,
Five, six and big, fat sticks,
Give me, give me number nine,
Nine, nine, a ball of twine,
Run back home and start again.
The Friendship Song
Remember when,
Remember, Red?
We sang,
You work all night.
Try a little longer,
Life comes up.
Try a little longer,
Remember when,
Fraggle Rock Rock
Well they threw us in a cage and there's no key.
'Cause everybody here's gotta shout till we all break out.
Mokey took a stick and she banged bars.
'Cause everybody here gotta shout till we all break out.
Back, back, back, back, back to Fraggle Rock (3 X's)
Don't need no key don't need bail.
Thimble Beetle Song
See the beetle sitting on a stone.
See the beetle sitting on a stone. (repeat)
See the beetle sitting on a stone. (repeat)
See the beetle sitting on a stone. (repeat)
See the beetle sitting on a stone(repeat)
See the beetle sitting on a stone.
Easy is the Only Way to Go
We've found the way,
We've found the way (oh, happy day),
By: The Fraggles and Doozers
Worry's for another day.
Let the music play,
Down at Fraggle Rock.
Dancing's for another day.
Let the Fraggles play,
We're Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, Red.
By: Uncle Matt and Gobo
Sunny skies or rain
Come and follow me
Every sunrise shows me more and more
So much to explore
Come and follow me
Every evening, calling me away
Following the sound
Something's calling me
When the world goes drifting back to bed
Memories in my head
Wonders follow me
By: Convincing John and the Fragglettes
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.
Give your Fraggle mouths a-waggle.
You can chew a Doozer tower till you're blue (you're blue).
When the food will hit your tummy,
And you'll know that what I'm telling you is true (is true).
You gotta stop and give a thought to what you do (what you do).
Never eat another tower till I tell you what it's doing to you.
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.
And it's as pretty as a flower,
And a flower's what you pick up in a field (a field),
But the field can have a hole,
And you can fall in while you stroll,
And a Gorg can come along to find a meal (a meal),
And he can pack you in a sack,
And you can try to scramble back,
But then you'll never, ever, ever get free (get free),
'Cause every time you eat a tower you'll be shut up for eternity.
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it,
Just for you.
That is horrible and gory,
Let me tell you about a Fraggle I knew (I knew).
Eating up a Doozer highway,
In the way a hungry Fraggle will do (will do).
And I promise you this story is true (is true).
By the time it was done he was a human being through and through.
And all your troubles will be gone.
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it, (but don't eat it!),
Just for you.
Ny: The Doozers
It's a ding dong treat,
Knittin' socks for little feet.
Just sittin' with your knittin' all day long.
And knittin's fun.
Knittin's good for everyone,
And that is why we sing this knittin' song.
What's a Doozer gonna do,
With a gol-darn,
Ball of yarn?
It's stitch three drop four.
Pitch that knittin' out the door right now.
There's a knot in my thread.
A knitter needs his noggin read,
So don't come 'round and speak to me of yarn.
'Cause only k-nitwits like to k-nit,
And k-nittin' k-needles just ain't worth a darn.
What's a Doozer gonna do,
With a gol-darn,
Ball of yarn?
It's stitch three drop four.
Pitch that knittin' out the door right now.

I can pop the popcorn.
I can fill the pop machine.
I can even be the diving queen.
I can do it. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
On my own (Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own
For the fans from near and far.
I can be the band, because I play a mean guitar.
I can even be the swimming star.
Yes I can. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
On my own. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own.
Why pretend when you want the best,
And we all know that I am her.
Don't pretend that no one else has got abilities.
I don't need pretending all I need is me, me, me!
'Cause I'm the referee.
I can give myself the prize for popularity.
I can even shout, "Hooray for me!"
Yes I can. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Gonna do it. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
On my own. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Stand back. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Look out. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
Gonna do it. (Do it, do it. On your own.)
I can do it on my own.
By: Gobo and Wembley
I take the friend I like best,
So we can wemble, wemble, wemble side by side.
And when we're wembling south,
We stick our feet in our mouth,
And we just wemble, wemble, wemble as we ride.
Do, doodley doo,
Bop, boobley boo,
'Cause a wembling song can't go wrong.
Yes, it's a doodley do, doodley doo,
Do, doodley doo bop, boobley boo,
Just wembling on.
And north we wemble the least,
But still we wemble, wemble, wemble along.
Come on and wemble and you'll,
Be just a wembling fool,
'Cause that's the wemble, womble, wembling song.
Do, doodley doo bop, boobley boo,
Because a wembling song can't go wrong.
Yes it's a doodley doodley doo,
Do, doodley doo bop, boobley boo,
Just wembling on.
By: Mokey
Sitting on my very own,
Trying to find a simple kind of clue.
Why the Doozers move me so,
Doing all the things that Doozers do.
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
And why do I ask why?
Why do questions never end?
What keeps callin' all day long to me?
I know we're not the only ones.
Sometimes magic, sometimes only me.
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
Any why do I ask why?
By: The Fraggles
You don't know how to laugh till you cry.
You don't know where you've been till you're homeward bound,
And you don't know what you've lost until it's found.
Once I thought experience was free.
Never knew you'd have to pay the price,
Then I found you sometimes pay it twice.
Everything you gain is bound to go.
Then one day my luck just turned around.
The thing I loved and lost is lost and found.
By: The Fraggles and the Doozers
Fraggles never fool around, Fraggles never shirk.
Your duty's always waiting, and duty must be done.
There's Ping-Pong games that must be played,
And songs that must be sung.
A tail of toil and gathering and radishes and more.
But don't forget my mighty job the lonely tough routine.
I dive and crash and swim and splash to keep the water clean.
Mama told me, Sonny boy, your work won't be at home.
Go to were your going, come back when you've been.
Get out that door, explore, explore and bring back pink ice cream.
And you'll be workin'
A job that goes on much too long and then goes on some more.
The work I think I'll work at,
Or else I think I won't,
Well it's sort of something that you do,
Unless you maybe don't?
And you'll be workin'
Fraggles never fool around, Fraggles never shirk.
Your duty's always waiting, duty must be done.
There's Ping-Pong games that must be played,
And songs that must be sung
And you'll be workin'
By: Gobo and Wembley
No one knows where we've been.
Strangers follow us, dangers fall on us.
Life play tricks and they're mean.
Only one thing will do.
Stand up nice and straight, don't capitulate.
Courage lives and it's you.
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
that you gotta catch a tiger by the tail," (Wembley.)
On the other hand, if you really want bravery,
then you gotta," (Gobo.)
Take the horns by the bull.
A bird in need is a friend indeed,
So pull the eyes over the wool.
Lonesome walk in the dawn.
Sometimes lonely, but living only for truth,
When truth may be gone.
Shadows loom on the wall.
Sounds behind us and hounds will find us,
And death and taxes and all.
By: Pa and Junior Gorg
A dummy for a son.
It's bad enough you huff and puff,
To make a kingdom run.
Be forced to satisfy,
A witless, wonder, dunder, blunder,
Dummy of a son?
De dum of a son de dum of a gun
And take away my son.
My enemies attack and tease,
Until the kingdom's done.
The wretched Universe,
That brought a witless, dunder, blunder,
Dummy of a son.
You're stupid as they come.
I taught you all that I recall,
So how come you're so dumb?
I'll prob'ly go and hide, [???]
But always here behind my rear,
I see my stupid son.
By: The Trash Heap, Philo, Gunge and Wembley
Make a little thing like a brave boy here.
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Brave boy jump up gonna make it right.
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Gonna make you well,
Every time you're telling it, whee!
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Sing a little spell.
Gonna feel some joy.
Brave boy jump up is bound to please.
Jump up, turn around, cross over.
Gonna make you well,
Every time you're telling it, whee!
By: Red, Uncle Matt, Pa Gorg, etc.
Cover me with muck and goo.
Give me three and give me four,
Cover me with guck and gore.
Down my sock and in my shoe.
Three, four, guck and gore,
Spin me 'round and sing some more.
Cover me with big, fat sticks.
Give me seven, give me eight.
Cover me with slime and slate.
An ice cream cone for me to lick.
Seven, eight, slime and slate,
Sing it now and don't be late.
A bag of bones and a ball of twine.
Give me, give me number ten,
Run back home and start again.
First it's yours and then it's mine.
Ten, ten, that's the end,
So run back home and start again.
By: Red and Boober
Now and then,
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing,
The friendship song.
You and I,
We'd nearly cry,
To know their love was strong,
And by and by,
We'd start to sing along.
Try a little longer,
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
You work all day.
You still can't keep,
Those worry blues away.
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
Life goes down.
There's just one way,
To keep it,
Going 'round.
For your friends.
Try a little a stronger,
For your friends.
(Repeat)
Now and then,
Everything went wrong?
And then our friends would sing,
The friendship song.
By: Gobo and the Fraggles
We gotta find a way that we can get free.
There's just one thing that might be found.
Gotta rock this joint till the bars fall down.
Gotta rock our way to freedom.
Gotta roll right back and seat(?) 'em.
Gotta flip flop skipity hop,
Back to Fraggle Rock.
Red started rockin' till she seen stars.
Boober blew a harp like a wild thing.
Got myself a guitar and began to sing.
We're gonna rock our way to freedom.
We're gonna roll right back and seat(?) 'em.
We're gonna flip flop skipity hop,
Back to Fraggle Rock.
Gonna bust right out of this old jail.
Gonna beat those bars till they drop their locks.
Gonna spring ourselves loose with the Fraggle Rock rock.

See the little Thimblebeetle sitting on a stone.
See the little Thimblebeetle sitting on a stone. (repeat)
See the nimble, Thimblebeetle sitting on a pitted,
spotted stone. (repeat)
See the little simple, nimble Thimblebeetle's daughters
doing curtsies like they ought'er as they sit in sticky spots
upon a pitted, spotted stone. (repeat)
See the little simple, nimble Thimblebeetle's daughters
doing curtsies like they ought'er as they sit 'n hit n'
spit 'n spat 'n flit 'n flatten flowers on a pitted,
spotted stone. (repeat)
See the little Thimblebeetle sitting on a stone.

To live on easy street.
No more troubles.
No more cares and woes.
Oh, happy day!
It's made our lives complete.
'Cause easy is the only way to go.
The wa-a-a-a-ay, way to go.
To live on easy street (we found the way).
No more troubles (oh, happy night).
No more cares and woes (we saw the light).
Oh, happy days (oh, happy song)!
It's made our lives complete (all cares are gone).
Easy is the only (and now we know),
Way to go (which way to go).
Way, way to go.
