First they cut the budget, now they cut the feed— But Elmo’s got ideas and a righteous need. [Chorus – Full Muppet Cast, in harmony like Les Misérables with puppets] This is the Muppet Revolt! We won’t be canceled, we won’t be sold! Feathers and fur, we’re taking the stand— No one kicks Kermit off this land! [Verse 2 – Miss Piggy, full diva] Oh please, darling, I’ve survived network notes, Tabloid lies and wardrobe goats. But now you think you’ll pull the plug? I’ll karate-chop your ego like a DC thug! [Verse 3 – The Count, taking roll call] Vun protest sign! Two angry tweets! Three letters to PBS elites! Four cookies for the revolution feast! Ah! Ah! Ahhh! [Bridge – Gonzo leads the underground] We’ve got allies in Fraggle Rock, Pee-wee’s gang and Mister Sock. Snuffy’s bringing tanks of glitter, Oscar’s cussing on Twitter! [Final Chorus – Epic uprising with children’s choir backup] This is the Muppet Revolt! Broadcast live from Bert’s remote vault! We may be stitched, we may be sewn— But don’t you dare defund our zone! We’re on the air, we’re staying free— You can’t cancel a family! (Spoken: “This message was brought to you by the letter F… for ‘freedom.’”)
