Miss Piggy:
He'll make me happy
Each time I see him
He'll be the reason
My heart can sing
He'll stand beside me
And now I'm everything.
Kermit:
She'll make me happy
Each time I hold her
And I will follow
Where my heart may lead
And she'll be all I'll ever need
Babies:
Days go passing into years
Old Ladies:
Years go passing day by day.
Audience (with sobbing heard):
She'll make him happy
Now and forever
Until forever
Their love will grow
She only knows
He'll make her happy
That's all she needs to know.
They'll be so happy
Now and forever
Until forever
Their love will grow-
Miss Piggy:
I only know
He'll make me happy
That's all I need...to...know...

Do you, Piggy, take this frog to be your lawful wedded husband--do you?
Miss Piggy:
I do...
Priest:
Do you Froggie take this Pig to be your lawful wedded wife until you die?
Kermit:
Well, I? Well....I...?
Priest:
Do you?
Kermit:
(gulp). I do...
Priest:
Then because you share a love so big
I now pronounce you frog and pig.
[THE Kiss.]
Celebration, cheering from all the Muppets. Penguins evidently are tossed
Or throw themselves across the aisle.
Kermit:
What better way could anything end?
Hand in hand with a friend.
