You'll Never Walk Alone
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Date 1945
Source Carousel (musical)
Publisher Williamson Music Co.

"You'll Never Walk Alone," from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel, is a song with religious overtones about finding comfort in times of trouble. In the musical, it is sung to a grieving widow after her husband's violent death and reprised in the finale when he finally ascends into heaven.

A small caterpillar performs "You'll Never Walk Alone" in episode 416 of The Muppet Show. Wearing a rainhat and galoshes on each of his many feet, the caterpillar trudges through the grass during a rainstorm, while a fierce wind blows umbrellas past his head.

A line from the song was also sung as a punchline to one of the jokes in the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch from episode 212 of The Muppet Show. The patient was, appropriately, a shoe.

The song was parodied as "You'll Never Cross Alone" in Episode 1597 of Sesame Street. "Worm Soliloquy," another Sesame song, incorporates a snatch of the song (while parodying another song from Carousel, "Soliloquy").
