Halfway Down The Stairs is a cover song by Amy Lee featured on Muppets: The Green Album. The original song first appeared on The Muppets Show in episode 110 and was sung by "Robin the Frog". The song is based upon lyrics from an A.A Milne poem.

Remember the Nightmare Before Christmas covers CD last year? They are making another one, this time its Muppet songs... When they asked me if I wanted to do a song, I thought it was a really cool idea but I didn't think there would be anything that fit me... but right before saying no, I went online and listened to all the songs just in case anything sparked, and I found something... so Will Hunt (guy I did Sally's Song with) and I went completely crazy with it and it is really different and, I think, REALLY cool... I thought it was going to come out this year but I've just been told its been pushed to spring, April I think... so well have to wait a little bit for it, but I think its worth it. ;) I'm really excited about it!

Original Chart Performance

The original sequence of the song was refilmed for different international versions of The Muppets Show. The song became a popular single which reached the Top Ten in England's music charts and it's success resulted in an appearance on Top of the Pops which it was refilmed again for.

Lyrics

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top.
So this is the stair where I always stop.

Halfway up the stairs isn't up and isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery, it isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts run round my head.
It isn't really anywhere, it's somewhere else instead.

Halfway down the stairs is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom, I'm not at the top.
So this is the stair where I always stop.
