The name of the show is Captain Kangaroo.
You've seen it!
Hey, you've seen it, [A] boy!
Probably got an effect on you, too.
The name of this song is Mr.
Green Jeans,
and it's dedicated to this bumbling oaf
who in real life is seen as Lumpy Brandon,
and Lumpy Brandon, disguised in some chartreuse overalls
and straw hat and an orange tie,
assists every morning on this television show for children in the United States.
He goes [Em] around after Captain Kangaroo
and helps him do experiments for the children,
and every time he attempts to do something,
it always fucks up, and he's just an idiot on this program.
And that way it's very easy for the American mothers and fathers to identify him.
That's what they do at the office.
And the government, and the police station.
And of course they raise their children
