Everybody's Song
sung by Bip Bipadotta (Jim Henson) and The Androoze Sisters
Not complete yet (haven't filled in Bip's scat)
Note: Special thanks to Muppet Wiki for identifying the backup pigs. One of them was voiced by Maeretha Stewart and their name's a parody of The Andrews Sisters.
As in Mahna Mahna, Bip bops on and off-screen throughout the song.
Pigs: Do you hear that beat?
Bip Bipadotta: (scat)
Pigs: Makes you leave your seat?
Bip Bipadotta: (scat)

Yeah, yeah, that's everybody's song!
