I pity the person who ever has to take a round-trip from Morrow, Ohio to Day, Wisconsin. "I'd like to go from Day to Morrow, and from Morrow to Day, please." "Well, scheduling might be a bit of an issue..."
and from Intercourse come up to the scenic province of Newfoundland, Canada, and visit the lovely towns of Come By Chance, Tickle Bay, Pushthrough, and Dildo. (Relax...the latter is named after a Spanish explorer).
For the curious: This version omits one very important verse which explains everything: Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat. There is a town named Morrow on the ride, now tell me that." "There is", said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip: To get from here to Morrow is a fourteen-hour trip. The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35. At half past ten to Morrow is the time it should arrive. So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen-hour jump, Can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?" To sort it all out: There are two trains, since a round trip takes more than 24 hours. The train to Morrow left his station at 8:35 A.M. and arrives at Morrow station at 10:30 P.M. Meanwhile, the train from Morrow reaches his station at 3:00 P.M. Assuming the same travel time, that means it left Morrow station at 1:05 A.M. There is no way to make this a day trip; the fastest turnaround would have you in Morrow for only two hours and 35 minutes before your return train left, putting you back at the starting point at three in the afternoon.
A song about the 'train leaves the station' math problem. Who'd of thought. Still thanks this question should have been pinned. I understood it without the extra lyrics but it does helps a lot.
Having taken Amtrak from New York to Kissimmee FL, at least that's the stop I got off at to get to my final destination, I can verify this scheduling. That is why I only saw one track at the Florida station.
In 2007, i lived this song. I had a fligth from Turkey to Ohio. The plane landed in Cincinnatti/Northern Kentucky International Airpot at 2:00 a.m. and it was my first time in the USA. My final destination was Morrow. At the airport i found the information desk and asked the staff that "How can i go to Morrow?" The woman replied me with the hardest question i have ever been asked: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?". At the end of the scene i was screaming like "to Morrow, Morrow, the city." And she asked me, "Sir, which city you want to go tomorrow?" So i gave up and slept on the floor in airport. :)
That must have been frustrating. I know that after a point I would have said, slowly and clearly “The city is called Morrow. How do I get there or do I need ask your boss?” There’s probably a ton of people that have had that problem.
i put up the words on pupose, because i originally posted it for a jug band to learn the tune. i also find it funny to think of the transcriptionist who had to sort out when to spell it how. thanks for the comment, this is indeed a brilliant clip from a world of endless imagination & creativity
I first heard this on an episode of captain Kangaroo in the late 60's or early 70's when l was a kid. I haven't heard it again til now when it showed on my recommendations. Too funny😁 love the Muppets 😊
Yes, the Captain Kangaroo version had cut-out birds popping up in a vertical line. I would love to see that, but it does not seem that any of the Captain Kangaroo songs are available on TH-cam.
Man. Jim and Jerry were absolutely an excellent singing duo. Why the rest of the world wouldn't take them seriously just like they easily would for Walt Disney? Like Frank says I Don't Get It!
Most of the puppeteers are right handed so the operate the head with their right hand and use their left for the arms making most of the Muppets left handed
This is what we used to watch as kids. We'd have to wait for the show to come on, and you couldn't record them yet. The Muppet show was one of the greatest show ever.
This song is catchy They just added the five season of The Muppet Show on Disney plus and episode one they played this song I'm going to get it stuck in everybody's head now 😈😈😈😈
This was no coincidence. The three puppets in this skit are designed to be caricatures of their performers: Jim Henson, Jerry Nelson and Frank Oz . This sort of thing is part of why The Muppets can stay fresh and fun after so many years!
@@joelwelden-smith7574 True, but the Bluegrass Group was just those three, and they were key in the early days of the muppets. Hence why I call them the "Henson 3", much like the Oceans movies' numbers referring to his team.
I think the Kingston Trio played this tune. Anyway. . . Morrow is just a stone's throw away from me. It's an old railroad town, now with the Little Miami Bike Trail. . .appropriately named from the River and the former rail line.
he's supposed to; these puppets were built to look like their puppeteers. the one in the middle is frank oz, the one on the right is jerry nelson, and yes, the one on the left is jim henson :)

The original Kingston Trio song actually has a verse in the middle that was left out of the muppets performance.

That's right. For anyone not quite clear- the banjo player was Jim Henson, Jerry nelson was on guitar and Frank Oz was the double bass player. According to Bonnie Erickson, who designed and created them, they're even dressed the way their real counterparts dressed at that time.
Yeah, I believe the trivia on the DVD with this one states they were based on the three big guys: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and... I forget the name of the third. =P But hey, good to know they weren't so arrogant as to avoid having "dirty hippie muppets" based on them...

Jacqui Graham; Is he the guy that invented the....?
I know there's a town called Ware, but is there a town called Here or There?
I remember seeing this on tv when I was a small boy living in Morrow, Ohio and could not believe they made a song about my town!!! lol
funny huh
nice
Is Morrow an actual place?
Rae Phillips Yep!
@@cylasbreakdown6140 Oh.
0:02 the way they all start vibin when all the instruments join in is exactly how being in a band works. It feels super authentic.
It's undeniable
they have such a raucous energy when they all jump at the same time. so catchy.
yeah its lovely!
The original of this song was recorded in 1902 and is in the library of congress for those history geeks out there
Im a history geek but sadly I cant go there.

I'm still confused 🥴😵🤣
I'm with Muppet Frank on this one.
Troy Thomas lol same
It's not Frank Oz, It's Jerry Nelson.
@@thetruth3599 the red head is the Frank Oz puppet, Jerry is the one with the hat.
@@spiraleyes145 OH, Jim Henson is on the left Frank Oz is in the middle and Jerry Nelson is on the left, I see OH, Thanks.

So something like this actually happened?!
@@SlashinatorZ yes, it happened :))
I have to imagine that it was inspired by someone’s trip to Morrow!
That must have been frustrating. I know that after a point I would have said, slowly and clearly “The city is called Morrow. How do I get there or do I need ask your boss?”
There’s probably a ton of people that have had that problem.
To Marrow! To Marrow!
My most favorite skit from the Muppets...RIP Jerry Nelson and of course Jim Henson...life was made so much better and magical because of you both!
Jerry Nelson had a lovely singing voice.
@@Desmaad That he did indeed
And that rage in his voice
2006 was 16 years ago! ah!
Rest in peace Jim Henson, you won’t be forgotten anytime soon, you left such a beautiful impact on this world
This video was literally uploaded 6 days before I was born😭
Jim passed away in 1990. I was seven at the time, though I wasn't aware of his death until 1999.
Jerry Nelson too. He had one of the best voices and always gave a great performance.
This song was originally done on The Muppet Show in '79, I think
It’s like an Abott and Costello bit
I have now heard the word "tomorrow" so many times it no longer sounds like a real word
Lol same here
From tomorrow to sorrow.
1:49 "I don't get it"

Not sure which is more amazing, the 14 year old video or the 14 year old comment.
Original is written 1898... we still enjoy it 112 years later... Now that´s class!!
I absolutely love this song. I'm so glad I grew up with this kind of entertainment.
I miss you Jim, every day since we lost you
I love this song! My mom used to play it for me when I was a kid. The muppets make it even better!
One of my favorite songs. And it's VERY catchy
I think you're absolutely right about Jim Henson. He left such a legacy that it would be almost impossible for him to ever be forgotten.
There's not much to do. There's 2 ice cream places and a subway. That's it. Source: I live there.
That's why he isn't wanting to stay long.
I first heard this on an episode of captain Kangaroo in the late 60's or early 70's when l was a kid. I haven't heard it again til now when it showed on my recommendations. Too funny😁 love the Muppets 😊

Of course, All three characters were Muppet versions of Jim, Frank, and Jerry.
Man. Jim and Jerry were absolutely an excellent singing duo. Why the rest of the world wouldn't take them seriously just like they easily would for Walt Disney? Like Frank says I Don't Get It!
12 people are howling jays...
24 now
25...
27.
Lol I get it
“You are a howling jay”
Well I guess in town they’ll stay!
Ah, the session musician. “I don’t get it, but the cheque cleared so I’m playing it.” 😂
Ah yes, the Muppet that's supposed to be Frank Oz.....
This is a good song, especially when it's heard with earphones.
That puppet looks more like Jim Henson than Jim Henson does
ARose ForEpona
True. The Jerry Muppet also resembles his performer a little bit.
i don't remember where I read it but these are dressed how Frank,Jerry and Jim dressed at the time
These Muppets are caricatures of their creators. A caricature resembles a person better than a photograph or a portrait.
@@TnseWlms yes... I'm quite aware, just trying to make you laugh pal
@@TnseWlms Granny Weatherwax, 'Wyrd Sisters': "Things that try to look like things often do look more like things than things, well known fact . . . '
I can’t stop watching this! It’s amazing! Thank you Jim, Frank, and Jerry!
Ah, the "Henson 3", so called by me since Jim, Jerry, and Frank were the backbone of the Muppets.
I just realized they're all playing their instruments left handed. I wonder if it has to do with how the puppeteers need to operate their Muppets.
Christopher Noel It does indeed. Their right hand is needed to operate the body, so they use their left hand to move their left hands.
Most of the puppeteers are right handed so the operate the head with their right hand and use their left for the arms making most of the Muppets left handed
It is, most of them are right handed so that is why the Muppet is left handed
I know Jim Henson was left handed
@@mesquitegirl2013: You quite deftly answered this question 4 months prior, but thank you anyway. :)
This is what we used to watch as kids. We'd have to wait for the show to come on, and you couldn't record them yet. The Muppet show was one of the greatest show ever.
Agreed. The 70s and 80s were the pinnacle of American Life. Maybe of all Mankind. IMHO
I've been listening to this song for a few months now and it still hasn't gotten old.
I happen to live in Morrow, Ohio.
And I absolutely love this song!
Jerry’s singing voice is so good
This song is catchy They just added the five season of The Muppet Show on Disney plus and episode one they played this song I'm going to get it stuck in everybody's head now 😈😈😈😈
It's stuck in my head. Aaaaah!!!
Ikr!
Anything this trio makes is gold
I must be drunk, I understood all of that...
This song just ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'll listen to it again tomorrow!
One of the most innovative songs
This was no coincidence. The three puppets in this skit are designed to be caricatures of their performers: Jim Henson, Jerry Nelson and Frank Oz . This sort of thing is part of why The Muppets can stay fresh and fun after so many years!
Yep. Or as I call the group: the "Henson 3", since Jim, Jerry, and Frank were the backbone of the Muppets.
@@TheRoborandy Can't forget Richard Hunt
@@joelwelden-smith7574 True, but the Bluegrass Group was just those three, and they were key in the early days of the muppets. Hence why I call them the "Henson 3", much like the Oceans movies' numbers referring to his team.
And with all that frustration and disappointment he still remained polite.. lesson to be learned there.
Pure genius!
"Yeah, on the morrow, that means tomorrow!"
"Nah, man, the morrow is her bird. that thing flies crazy fast!"
Why did the Almighty Algorithm decide to grant me this gift? In any case, I shall cherish this forever.
As will I.
I think the Kingston Trio played this tune.
Anyway. . .
Morrow is just a stone's throw away from me. It's an old railroad town, now with the Little Miami Bike Trail. . .appropriately named from the River and the former rail line.
Hi, neighbor!
I grew up in Morrow. The bike trail opened in the mid-80s & has been extended since.
I’m a River Rat! Little Miami class of 93
That's my town! ;D
he's supposed to; these puppets were built to look like their puppeteers. the one in the middle is frank oz, the one on the right is jerry nelson, and yes, the one on the left is jim henson :)
best tv ever and still love them
I can't help but smile when I see Muppets of the actual cast & crews image ^^
This is pure liquid awesomeness.
I never knew that my hometown had a song
Jim Henson was a master of his work before his time
I live 15 minutes from morrow ohio thats so awesome this is about a litttle town near mine
Linear time is an illusion.
This is my FAVORITE Mjppet song!
Hey one of the oldest comments on one of the oldest videos on TH-cam.
Favorite song from the muppet show
I am from Morrow also!! Top of the hill toward Roachester!
Thats crazy that there is a morrow,oh i didnt know that, great song
Great job Scott Shambrock :-)
Just watched this on the dvd. Must learn to play and sing this. Would be funny to perform for friends.
We need more music like this!

This is just a brilliant song. Probably the best song they've ever covered.
I went to High School in Morrow Ohio. The train no longer runs through the town but it used to.
The original Kingston Trio song actually has a verse in the middle that was left out of the muppets performance.
"Said I, "My friend, it seems to me you're talking through your hat
There is a town named Morrow on the line now tell me that."
"There is," said he, "but take from me a quiet little tip
To go from here to Morrow is a 14 hour trip
"The train today to Morrow leaves today at 8:35
At half-past ten tomorrow is the time it should arrive
So if from here to Morrow is a fourteen hour jump
Can you go today to Morrow and get back today, you chump?"
Beautiful and clever song, they don't make them like this anymore.
Love the Kingston trio
Lovely!
I love this video...Great song...
Yay! Thank you for posting this.
skemono and if you look to your left, you will see an ancient comment!
16 years ago..a real TH-cam explorer
I am learning these song at my school
this
This song has some wicked bass
Awesome! Jim henson is so cool!
haha sweet! I'm from Morrow, and we really do look like that!!!
its supposed to be jim Henson the one in the back is frank oz and the one on guitar is james nelson all three were did many voices on the muppets
Jerry Nelson
This is the greatest way to tell your friends that you missed the train.
That's right. For anyone not quite clear- the banjo player was Jim Henson, Jerry nelson was on guitar and Frank Oz was the double bass player. According to Bonnie Erickson, who designed and created them, they're even dressed the way their real counterparts dressed at that time.
lmao! too funny! now i can see why it's confusing!
This is awesome
Nowadays you can go to Morrow and return today... Ah, the wonders of technology.
Its always the Jim Henson puppet and band that sings the great songs.
I like that you can hear laughing in the background.
Reminds me of trying to get through the DMV. xD
Excellent Clip. Thank you for posting this.
Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey....
I don't know where he comes up with these things
hopewec doctor who
He missed his trip to Morrow because he was too busy talking about how he was going to get to Morrow today.
Actually, he already missed the train because back in the 19th Century, the trains didn't goes as frequently as they do today.
@@mevb he showed up too late?
He is a howling jay
@grimlockfire My bad. its episode 5 from season one. episode 1 is the mu na mu na song. another classic.
“I Don’t Get it!” HaHaHaHa!😂🤣😂🤣
The Muppet version of "Who's On First?"
this is genius. Hello to Morrows everywhere!
Just awesome!
There's also a Morrow in Ireland, in the county of Mayo, and an Irish remake of the song. But is Ireland big enough for a fourteen hour train ride?
Mayo and Morrow? Ireland could become the next Ohio
Yeah, I believe the trivia on the DVD with this one states they were based on the three big guys: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and... I forget the name of the third. =P But hey, good to know they weren't so arrogant as to avoid having "dirty hippie muppets" based on them...
I'm so glad there were subtitles so I could follow the logic.
This song I so well done and amusing :)
me too! Cool song!
This needs to be Morrows anthem!
Says I “I’d like to go to Morrow so can I go today and get to Morrow by tonight if there is no delay?”
Only Frank Oz is still with us. When he's gone the last of the original muppets players will gone
Dave Goelz is still around, as well as John Lovelady, Louise Gold, Steve Whitmire, Martin Robinson, David Rudman, Karen Prell, Kathryn Mullen, Kevin Clash, John Kennedy, Fran Brill, Joey Mazzarino, Bill Barretta, and Pam Arciero
