"Captain Kangaroo Won The War" lyrics

"Captain Kangaroo Won The War"

Let's see, I remember now
You were in the corner in a fetal pose
They told me you were crazy
But on another planet with another sun
You might be Rex V's number one, number one, number one

An all encompassing occupation
With the dying star corporation

Let's see, I remember now
They were disenchanted with the script you wrote
They said you were being lazy
But with another network and another run
You win over everyone, everyone, everyone

By genetic inheritance, eyeball raiser
You should've been a stargazer

You led the resistance
And Captain Kangaroo won the war
Appreciate your persistence
But we all wish that we knew what it was for

You led the resistance
And Captain Kangaroo won the war
Appreciate your persistence
But we all wish that we knew what it was for
