Dance your cares away,
Worry's for another day.
Let the music play,
Down at Fraggle Rock.

Work your cares away,
Dancing's for another day.
Let the Fraggles play,
We're Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Buber, Red. (was it boober?)

Dance your cares away,
Worry's for another day.
Let the music play,
Down at Fraggle Rock.

I think that was it. Man, now this damn song is gonna be in my head all day. :/ You forgot the mikey likes it guy and the pop rocks + soda. Remember what cassettes and records look like and do. And quite a few other things. :)
