Sub-texting for Non-Actors

I think Ernie (sans Bert) said it best when he sang [some paraphrasing used in the parts I usually mumble through]:

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air.
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
but I don't think I'd like to live there.
I could look at the (something and something) above,
I could see all the places and people I love.
And although I might go there for one afternoon,
I don't want to live on the moon.

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere.
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
but I don't think I'd like to live there.
I could stay for a day there if I had my wish
but there's not much to do if your friends are all fish.
And an oyster and clam aren't real family.
So I don't want to live in the sea.

I could visit the jungle, hear the lion roar.
Go back in time and see a dinosaur.
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
but none of them permanently.

So if I should visit the moon,
I would dance on a moonbeam and then
I would make a wish on a star,
and I'd wish I was home once again.

(something inconsequential)

No, I don't want to live on a moon.

Ah, the muppets. Dreamers all.
