Well You Know My Name is Simon...Remember this Gen Xers?

Calling all Gen Xers out there!  Remember this little jewel as seen on Captain Kangaroo?  I LOVED this segment on Captain Kangaroo.  I wanted to be Simon, and draw my own world (seriously, I did, though I haven't brought that up with my therapist yet...should I?)  I remember eating my bowl of Sugar Corn Pops, in my pajamas, parked in front the television, humming along..."Well you know my name is Simon..."  I posted the lyrics below:

SIMON IN THE LAND OF CHALK DRAWINGS
Theme song from the segment on Captain Kangaroo Show (that Generation X Saturday morning staple)

Well you know my name is Simon,
and the things I draw come true,
Oh the pictures take me, take me over,
Climb the ladder with you.

Well you know my name is Simon,
and the things I draw come true,
Oh the pictures take me, take me over,
Climb the ladder with you.




Enjoy Generation X.  Go draw yourselves a wonderful day!
