Some Enchanted Lunchtime
sung to the tune of "Some Enchanted Evening"
spoken parts are in brackets
The scene is a crowded school cafeteria at lunchtime. A boy muppet stares at a girl muppet drinking her juice alone at another table.
Boy: Some enchanted lunchtime
You may see a stranger
Someone you don't know yet
Drinking her juice alone
(he gets up from his seat, going towards her)
And you'll say "hello"
And give her a smile
And ask her to sit with your friends awhile
(Would you care to join us?)
Girl: Some enchanted lunchtime
You may see a stranger
Someone no one knows yet
And they're all having fun
You're finished your juice
You're eating your snack
Then he'll say "hello"
And you'll say it back
(I'd love to join you)
(he walks around to her side of the table as she gets up)
Boy: Once you have met her
You have made a friend
Girl: Once you have met him
You have made a friend
Some enchanted lunchtime
(they start walking towards his table of friends)
Boy: Some enchanted lunchtime
Girl: When you meet a stranger
Boy: When you meet a stranger
Girl: Someone you don't know yet
Boy: Someone you don't know yet
Both: You might be feeling shy
But sometimes it's true
They're kind of shy too
And if you are friendly
They'll sit with you
Boy: Once you have met her
You have found a friend
Girl: Once you have met him
Both: You have made a friend
