Frank Oz (born Frank Richard Oznowicz; b. May 25, 1944) is an American film director, actor, voice actor and puppeteer who is known for creating and performing the characters Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear in The Muppet Show, as well as Cookie Monster, Bert and Grover in Sesame Street. His work as a film director includes 1986's Little Shop of Horrors remake and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. He is also the operator and voice of Yoda in the Star Wars film series.
Oz was born in Hereford, England, the son of Frances (née Ghevaert) and Isidore Oznowicz, both of whom were puppeteers. His parents moved to England after fighting the Nazis with the Dutch Brigades. Oz's Dutch/Polish father was Jewish and his Flemish mother was a lapsed Roman Catholic. Oz moved to Oakland, California, United States, with his parents when he was five years old. He attended Oakland Technical High School and Oakland City College. He worked for a time with the Vagabond Puppets, a production of the Oakland Recreation Department, where Lettie Connell was his mentor.
Frank was a contractor, who got up every morning.
Skinn'n cats and fix'n cars, his day was far from boring.
Souped up Ford, V-8 289, running down those punks was always on his mind.
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
Ford was wired for nitro. Canister sat in the back.
Ten inch slicks, ratchet shift, smoke, rubber layed in his tracks.
Frank didn't like us, just wanted to have some fun.
So we played our music, and he put us on the run.
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
Frank started the beast. Smoke spewed from the trunk.
Oil sprayed from the hood, that can of nitro junk.
The car swelled then exploded, flying across the street.
Frank slowly stepped out, staggering to his feet.
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
So our story ends, with the psycho contractor guy.
Moral of the story is "if Franks around, turn the music down, or you better
learn how to run fast." Frank was a contractor. Is he after you?
We're in my room
Watching Dirty Dancing
I didn't get anything with Orlando Bloom
'Cause I know you fancy him
If she was there
Your mum would say that everything is perfect
But she's not
Let's forget about her
God, it's already the nobody-puts-Baby-in-the-corner moment
And you're getting emotional
Perfect timing for a
French kiss
On your soft lips
French kiss
You will love this
We're at your best friend's party
Dancing to Brozone
In the living room
I get you a vodka Red Bull
And lure you in the kitchen
It's quite smoky in there
Have a seat
We'll have another drink
Have some crisps
We'll have another drink
Have that cigarette
We'll have another drink
God, it's already 4 a.m.
And we're getting tired
Your eyes don't lie
Perfect timing for a
French Kiss
On your soft lips
French Kiss
You will love this
French Kiss
On your soft lips
French Kiss
You will love this
French Kiss
On your soft lips
French Kiss
