So Long Pa
So long Pa, I'm on my way
To see the world so big and wide
I might find somethin' I can do
And find the guy who's here inside
So long Pa, I'm off today
I hope before my journey ends
I'll learn to do a trick or two
So you can brag to all your friends
So I'm off to Argentina
'Cause there's a whole lot of people out there
And even back then, I knew
I wanted to meet as many of them as my time on earth would allow
People're what life's all about!
Just a moment, Mr. Rogers
Yes, Mr. Ziegfeld?
Mr. Rogers, forgive me for interrupting
But you've been out there for two scenes and we still haven't met the girl!
Well, come to think of it, Mr. Ziegfeld
I did meet Betty Blake before I went away!
Well, don't just stand there, Mr. Rogers
You're going to meet your wife Betty on the moon!
To see the world so big and wide
I might find somethin' I can do
And find the guy who's here inside
So long Pa, I'm off today
I hope before my journey ends
I'll learn to do a trick or two
So you can brag to all your friends
So I'm off to Argentina
'Cause there's a whole lot of people out there
And even back then, I knew
I wanted to meet as many of them as my time on earth would allow
People're what life's all about!
Just a moment, Mr. Rogers
Yes, Mr. Ziegfeld?
Mr. Rogers, forgive me for interrupting
But you've been out there for two scenes and we still haven't met the girl!
Well, come to think of it, Mr. Ziegfeld
I did meet Betty Blake before I went away!
Well, don't just stand there, Mr. Rogers
You're going to meet your wife Betty on the moon!
