Never Smile At A Crocodile!

Mary Louise performed the song "Never Smile At A Crocodile" while riding a muppet crocodile through the swamp in an episode of classical show, 'The Muppet Show'. It was during the 114th episode in the series that was first broadcast in 1952. During the scene the crocodile can be seen eating several frogs that are in the lagoon with the pair.

The song's tune is from Disney's animated 1952 movie 'Peter Pan'; it appears on screen only as an instrumental and was used whenever the crocodile, Tick-Tock appears. The piece was originally created by Frank Churchill and Jack Lawrence. Lyrics were written for the piece but never made the final cut of the film. Instead the instrumental. Ironically the tune is so popular that it became one of the most famous deleted music pieces that Disney produced.

Henry Calvin later sung the song during the Disney video release of 'Disney Sing-along songs – Volume 6: Under the sea". The band that performed it is unknown.
