Brothers In Our World - Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas - The Jim Henson Company
"Brothers in Our World" is a mash-up of "Our World" and "Brothers" in Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. After losing the talent show, Alice realizes both her song and the jug band's song have similar meanings, so they sung at the same time. A faster, upbeat reprise is heard shortly later at their first gig together in Doc Bullfrog's Riverside Rest.
Lyrics[]
Alice: We’re closer now than ever before
Jug band: How much alike we are
Perhaps we're long lost brothers
Alice: There’s love in our world and we’re showing it more
Jug band: We even think the same
You know there may be others
Alice: Our world says, "Welcome, stranger"
Everybody’s a friend
Jug band: We can always use a friend
Alice: Favorite stories don’t end
Jug band: Welcome, brother
All: In our world
[Speech]
Emmet: Gee, Ma. That sounds fine.
Alice: It sure does, Emmet.
Some say our world is getting too small
Jug band: So many things to learn
But we'll enjoy each lesson
Alice: I say, with kindness, there’s room for us all
Jug band: Problems don’t worry us
When half the fun is guessin'
Ooh...
Alice: Our world is always changing
Everyday’s a surprise
Jug band: Live a lifetime of surprise
Alice: Love can open your eyes
Jug band: Brother, look around
All: In our world
Jug band: Ooh...
Alice: When night lays sad upon you
Go watch a simple sunrise
Jug band: See wonder in your eyes
Alice: Love can open your eyes
Jug band: Welcome, brother
All: To our world
