"Lullaby of Birdland" is a song which was featured in episode 201 of The Muppet Show and the 2011 film The Muppets as the closing number. Fozzie Bear is helping Kermit run the show, and he selects the song for The Electric Mayhem to perform as the closing number. The band is so happy that they give him shades, and make him an honorary hip person. When Floyd Pepper notes, shortly before the number, that they need a bass player because he'll be playing the vibraphone, Fozzie sends on guest star Don Knotts. Predictably, Don is too square for the band, and at the end of the number his bass blows up as he attempts to keep up with the frenetic pace. The disgusted band votes to de-shade Fozzie.

Lullaby of birdland
That's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there ways to reveal
In a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo
When they love
That's the kind of magic music
We make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland,
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
There's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland,
High in the sky up above
