Lyrics
When I was just a kid down in Arkansas,
There was a place I’d go to get away from it all
And I’d sing along with all the tunes
Yeah, my folks did what they’s able
But we didn’t have the cable
So, we pointed that antenna way on up to the moon
And I was riding on the Rainbow
Chilling with Miss Frizzle and her lizard on the Magic School Bus
Was counting 1 2 3 doing my ABC’s
With all my little buddies down on Sesame Street.
Do ti la so fa mi re
Don’t you know them shows were a hoot and a half?
Learning about life and a having a laugh
I ain’t afraid to admit it don’t embarrass me
A purple dinosaur is a friend indeed
Being a kid was hard I’ll confess
But it was better with PBS.
Mr. Rogers taught me how to tie my shoes
He said, “Be patient with yourself
And don’t you get the blues
Child, take all the time that you need
But you don’t eat the fruit the day that you plant the seed.
Cancel the news, they can all go broke,
But Mr. Rogers was good for the folks.”
And I was huffin’ and a puffin’ with Thomas the train
Little doggy wishbone was cracking the case
Old man Pappy taught me how to draw
On a big comfy couch with a big red dog
Cancel the news, they’re dead to me
Let the kids have a little TV
There was a place I’d go to get away from it all
And I’d sing along with all the tunes
Yeah, my folks did what they’s able
But we didn’t have the cable
So, we pointed that antenna way on up to the moon
And I was riding on the Rainbow
Chilling with Miss Frizzle and her lizard on the Magic School Bus
Was counting 1 2 3 doing my ABC’s
With all my little buddies down on Sesame Street.
