I have a record (33 1/3 rpm) of Josie Carey's Children's Corner. Who can forget such lovely tunes (sung by Fred Rogers) as "Meow meow meow meow beautiful, meow meow telephone," or "I give a hoot for you, 'cause golly, golly, you're neat"?

LOL! Well some of those classics by Henrietta Cat and X the Owl survived for many years in Mister Rogers neighborhood. Right now I'm nostalgicly wracking the cobwebs in my feeble old brain trying to recall all the words to the closing theme "Good Night, God." It was such a lovely and simple tune, but I can't find much of anything about it on the Internet. While I can still distinctly hear the music in my head, I can barely recall the last few lines:

.....
Keep us safe and healthy God,
(Da da da da da...???)
Good night, God...
And Thank-you, God...
For letting us love You.

It is REALLY bugging me that I can't come up with more.
I absolutely loved that show when I was 3~4 years old, and I NEVER missed an episode.
