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.
ETA: The above lyrics are from the original song. For Captain Kangaroo, the lyrics were changed to:
Well you know my name is Simon,
and the things I draw come true.
and the pictures take me, take me,
over the garden wall with you.
Enjoy Generation X. Go draw yourselves a wonderful day!
