In The Quiet Of The Evening
sung by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson)
When I listen, in the quiet of the evening
What do I hear?
Water dripping, dripping
In the quiet of the evening
When I listen, in the quiet of the evening
What do I hear?
Crickets chirping, chirping
In the quiet of the evening
I hear a bullfrog croaking all night long
(Hi, Uncle Ben!)
A hoot owl hooting his evening song
I hear a mockingbird singing on the hill
His song is sweeter when everything is still
When I listen, in the quiet of the evening, argh!
What do I hear?
Dogs bow-wowing
What do I hear?
Cats meowing
Brown bears snoring, tigers roaring
Oh, it’s the sound of Mother Nature murmuring low (let yourself go!)
Argh ... when I listen, in the quiet of the evening ... Argh!
This is the loudest quiet I’ve ever listened to!
Will you guys keep it down!
Somebody’s trying to sing out here!
Argh! I’m gonna go find me a quiet swamp!
