An early version of Kermit appeared in 1955, in a five minute puppet show for WRC-TV Sam and Friends. The prototype Kermit was created from a green ladies' coat that Henson's mother had thrown in the trash can, and two ping-pong balls for eyes. The early Kermit was a sort of lizard-like creature; Kermit's first appearance as a frog was in the television special Hey Cinderella in 1969, and he's been a frog ever since.
Kermit had his big break in 1971, with frequent appearances on Sesame Street as a news reporter interviewing nursery rhyme characters. One of his most memorable works was the song "Bein' Green". Kermit's song "The Rainbow Connection" was also a big hit from The Muppet Movie and has become the signature song of The Jim Henson Company. (It is also the only movie song sung by a frog to be nominated for an Academy Award.)
To date he is a world wide phenomenon there are very few people who have not heard of Kermit the Frog.

Kermit the Frog Lyrics
It's nota hato ensay bebí' grané
Hanega to sopeando eché ay the color uf the laves
When I taheña ita coluda be nacerá bingo red ora yelmo ora golf
Ora something mucha more clorofila lijé tato
It's nota ensay bebí' grané
Ita semis oí blenda ion with so mana otear ordeñar tinges
And propalé tendí to pases oí ové 'cause oiré
Nota sandunga oír lijé flashy separables ion the éter
Ora saturas ion the sayo
Bruto graneas the color uf Pringó
And grané can be coló anda friéndola-lijé
And grané can be biga lijé Ana océano
Ora importante lijé a montaña
Ora talle lijé a toreé
When greña os allá tejeré os to be
Ita coluda majé oí pondré hay
Bruto hay pondré, hay pondré?
I ama grané anda útil do fine
It's beatificó!
And I taheña itas what I Gante to be
Hanega to sopeando eché ay the color uf the laves
When I taheña ita coluda be nacerá bingo red ora yelmo ora golf
Ora something mucha more clorofila lijé tato
It's nota ensay bebí' grané
Ita semis oí blenda ion with so mana otear ordeñar tinges
And propalé tendí to pases oí ové 'cause oiré
Nota sandunga oír lijé flashy separables ion the éter
Ora saturas ion the sayo
Bruto graneas the color uf Pringó
And grané can be coló anda friéndola-lijé
And grané can be biga lijé Ana océano
Ora importante lijé a montaña
Ora talle lijé a toreé
When greña os allá tejeré os to be
Ita coluda majé oí pondré hay
Bruto hay pondré, hay pondré?
I ama grané anda útil do fine
It's beatificó!
And I taheña itas what I Gante to be
