Lyrics

Verse 1
Morning light on the old TV,
Coffee steam and a gentle key,
0:15
There’s a coat with pockets deep as noon,
And a smile that could brighten any room.
Mr. Green Jeans hums along,
Ping-pong balls rain down like song,
Bunny hops through cardboard doors,
Laughter on the living room floor.
Pre-Chorus
All the clocks slow down when he waves hello,
Stories bloom from a seed he sows.
Chorus
Captain Kangaroo, sail us through
A sea of crayons, red and blue,
With a mop for a mast and a broom for a crew,
We learned to dream because of you.
Captain Kangaroo, steady and true,
Every “good morning” felt brand new,
In a paper hat and a pocket or two,
You turned the world to something we could do.
Verse 2
Picture pages, treasure maps,
Tiny lessons in gentle wraps,
Rubber bands and rubber bands,
Making bridges out of hands.
From the floorboards to the sky,
He could teach a cloud to tie
A silver bow on rainy days,
Turning puddles into parades.
Pre-Chorus
All the clocks slow down when he waves hello,
Stories bloom from a seed he sows.
Chorus
Captain Kangaroo, sail us through
A sea of crayons, red and blue,
With a mop for a mast and a broom for a crew,
