TRIOS on BIKE

We hired a tandem bike plus a baby seat attached so the 3 of us could cycle together. It was fun but a little hard for us to balance as it's a long bicycle for 3 persons. We cycled for 2hrs along the whole stretch of East Coast Park. Along the way, we had to jingle our bells a little to warn pedestrians & little children on bicycles that the TRIOS are approaching.

As we were cycling, I recalled a movie scene from the Muppets Show - (Kermit Frog & Ms Piggy). I cannot remember if they were riding on a tandem bike or was it Kermit Frog giving Ms Piggy a ride?... Anyway, they were singing this song, The Rainbow Connection and I simply love the song.


Here it goes:

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
