Lyrics for 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 Sweet number one Number one Number one An all encompassing occupation With a 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 went over everyone Everyone Everyone A genetic inheritance Apple laser You should have 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
