Kermit

Aw, it's so dark in here, I can't see a thing... where's that camera cable around -- whoop!  [ CRASH! ]  It's right down there somewhere. Hey, could somebody turn on a light in here? Huh? Turn on some lights!  [ They do. ]  Oh. Ahem. Hi ho, this is Kermit the Frog, speaking to you for Sesame Street News -- and tonight, I'm speaking to you from the home of Aladdin, the owner of that world famous magic lamp. And here he is now, hello, excuse me, Mr Aladdin.

Aladdin

Oh, hi, Frog! You can call me Al!

Kermit

Okay, Al -- can you tell us, Al, you're rubbing your magic lamp there, I see...

Aladdin

Yes!

Kermit

Yes. Why are you doing that?

Aladdin

Well, because it doesn't work! Until you arrived, I was completely in the dark.

Kermit

Is that right.

Aladdin

Here. I'll try rubbing it again. 

[ POOF! With a puff of smoke, the Genie appears. ]

Genie

Hey knock off with the rubbin', will ya? I'm tryin' to sleep in this lamp!

Kermit

Look at that, folks.

Aladdin

That's the Genie. Genie -- this is the frog. Frog, Genie. Genie, frog. 

Kermit

Uh, yeah.

Aladdin

Frog, Genie.

Genie

How ya doin', frog.

Kermit

Yeah, I recognize you by your light brown hair.  [ chuckles ]

Aladdin

Ha, ha. Ha, ha.

Genie

Very funny.

Kermit

Uh, listen, Genies can do anything, why don't you fix Aladdin's lamp, here?

Genie

Hey, come on, I'm a Genie, not an electrician! What do I know from lamps?

Kermit

Oh. Uh, y'know, Aladdin, I think I got -- I see one thing that's wrong with your problem here.

Aladdin

Do you? What's that, frog? 

Kermit

Well, you see, your lamp doesn't have a lightbulb. 

Aladdin

Ohhhhh!

Kermit

See, that kinda lamp needs a lightbulb up there.

Aladdin

A lightbulb, up there! That's a good idea! I'll just go get a lightbulb! 

Kermit

Okay.

Genie

Yeah, he needs a lightbulb, and I need another job. Ya ever try livin' inside a lamp?

Kermit

Is that right? Pretty dark, huh?

Aladdin

Here's a lightbulb! Here we go!

Kermit

Yeah, well, just screw it in the socket up there.

Aladdin

All right. I'll do that. How's that? Well?

Kermit

Okay, uh...

Aladdin

It still doesn't work!

Kermit

Yeah, but -- 

Genie

To think I coulda worked for Ali Baba instead of this dingaling.

Aladdin

We'll just wait here until it works.

Kermit

Well, Al... there's another thing here. Al?

Mmm?

Kermit

See, the lamp has a plug. See? It has an electric plug there... and, yeah, it's just sitting on the table...

Aladdin

This is a PLUG?

Kermit

Yeah.

Genie

It has ta be plugged in!

Kermit

It has to be plugged in to the outlet.

Aladdin

Plugged in?

Genie

Aw, brother...

Aladdin

Plugged in?

Kermit

You've got an electric outlet back there, you gotta plug it in.

Aladdin

Ah! All right. I'll try this.

Kermit

Mm hmm.

Aladdin

Here goes!

Genie

Do you believe this dingaling?

Kermit

Well, not really, but, uh...

Aladdin

Okay! Lamp, do your stuff!

Kermit

Um... Al?

Aladdin

No, it still doesn't work, frog!

Kermit

Al?

Genie

Brother...

Aladdin

Yes?

Kermit

Al...

Aladdin

I'll just keep waiting...

Kermit

Well, Al, did you try turning on the switch?

Aladdin

The what?

Kermit

The switch -- there's an electric switch up there, on the lamp.

Aladdin

There is?

Kermit

Mm hmm.

Aladdin

Where -- oh, you mean THIS switch over here!

Kermit

Yeah, see, right there? You gotta turn that on, and that makes the electricity go to the bulb. 

Aladdin

Well, I'll be. Sounds crazy to me, but I'll try it! Here goes!  [ He switches the lamp on. ]  My lamp! It works! WOW!

Kermit

Isn't that wonderful!

Aladdin

Wow! It sure is wonderful.

Genie

It is NOT wonderful! Not with me! You know I can't sleep with the light on! Alaka-ZAM!

[ With a puff of smoke, the Genie disappears. ]

Aladdin

Oh, my Genie is gone. But my lamp works! And you fixed it, frog!

Kermit

Okay, that's wonderful. This is Kermit the Frog, returning you to your studios, okay?

Aladdin

Oh, don't go yet...

Kermit

I'll see ya around, Ali Baba.

Aladdin

You have to fix my magic toaster! And my magic hot comb! Oh, frog... Wow. My lamp works.
