It’s the duet we’ve all been waiting for and no, we’re not talking about Ed Sheeran and Rita Ora!

The ‘Thinking Out Loud’ singer instead teamed up with Kermit The Frog for a special collaboration for the first ever Red Nose Day USA.

The unlikely pair performed a rendition of ‘Rainbow Connection’ during the three-hour telethon, which aired on NBC last night (Thursday, May 21).

During their totally adorable stint on stage, Kermit asked: "Could all you folks call in and help to donate for kids and help them out?"

Sheeran then joked: "It would mean a lot to me, it would mean a lot to thousands of kids around the world but most of all it would mean a lot to Kermit because he's not allowed to go back to the swamp unless he brings back the bacon."

The famous Muppet then quipped: "Some green so to say.”

Ed previously teased his performance with Kermit, posting a number of selfies of them together in rehearsals on Instagram.

Red Nose Day USA has since raised over $10million in donations so far, with the likes of Nick Cannon, the Game Of Thrones cast and many more celebs taking part.

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you till we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me, I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So, honey, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone, and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause, honey, your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
And maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
And maybe we found love right where we are

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la loud

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Then maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
