Muppet 1: I'd like to be a dancer, a dancing on my toes.
Muppet 2: I'd like to be a fireman, I'd squirt you with my hose!
Muppet 3: And I would be a sailor, and I'd sail the seven seas. But....
All: There is one thing special which everyone agrees.
Oh, everyone likes ice cream, yes indeed they do.
Everyone likes ice cream, I do do you?
Search the whole world over, travel near and far.
But everyone likes ice cream no matter who they are.
2: (spoken) Except me and I don't agree.
1: I'd like to have a kitten, all cuddly, soft and clean.
2: I'd like to have a dragon, all big and tough and mean!
3: And I would have a little mouse, I'd feed him lots of cheese, but...
All: There is one thing special which everyone agrees.
Oh, everyone likes ice cream, yes indeed they do.
Everyone likes ice cream, I do do you?

3: Do you like ice cream?
2: (begrudgingly) Uh, yes.
3: Then you agree.

2: I'd like to play football, our team cannot be beat
3: And I'd go to the park and watch the birdies in the trees
2: (sarcastically) Birdies.

Everyone likes ice cream, I do do you?

3: (nervously) Say, w..would you like an ice cream cone?
(hands him a fourth cone he suddenly happened to have)
Monster: MAWRRRRRRRRRRRR....
