Song Lyrics:

There’s a place I go
Takes me far away
There’s a TV show
Where I can grow

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I don’t wanna know
Hello, hello, oh?

There’s a picture book
With coloured photographs
There’s a comic strip
That makes me laugh

Sometimes the lady takes me
Sometimes I don’t let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys

There’s a place I go
Takes me far away
There’s a TV show
Where I can grow

Sometimes the hero takes me
Sometimes I can’t let go
Hello hello

Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
Stories for boys
