The Grouch Explorers Song
sung by Oscar the Grouch (Carroll Spinney) and assorted grouches
Orange Grouch: Gliding through a smelly swamp
Where mosquitoes come to romp
Oscar: The fun of being first to see
The fungus on a rotten tree
Grey-Green Grouch: Steamy Jungles
Orange Grouch: Icy Peaks!
Girl Grouch: Not a decent meal in weeks!
All: We go where we have never gone before
To explore, explore, explore!
Girl Grouch: Soggy nights in leaky tents
Orange Grouch: Attending cultural events
Oscar: Riding camels through the heat
Grey-Green Grouch: Feeling cranky, feeling beat
Girl Grouch: Broiling in the midday sun
All: Is sweaty, sticky, grouchy fun!
We go where we have never gone before
To explore, explore, explore!
Oscar: Travelling the world we see
Grouches who live differently
Orange Grouch: But everywhere they get their kicks
Girl Grouch: From all the same revolting tricks!
Grey-Green Grouch: In Spain or France or Birmingham
They all have ways to holler -
All: Scram!
We go where we have never gone before
We explore, explore, explore!
