MisteRogers' Neighborhood1968

X the Owl:
I'm not so sure I want wishes to come true.

Lady Aberlin:
Why not?

X the Owl:
Well, Henrietta, you know Henrietta Pussycat, my neighbor, she said to me, "What if all your wishes would come true, X?"

Lady Aberlin:
And then what did you say?

X the Owl:
Well, I thought about the times when I'm angry and wished for bad things. I wished my tree would fall down and all kinds of bad things.

[singing]

X the Owl:
One time I wished that my tree would fall down/ And hit someone else on the head/ I was mad all the day/ And I just couldn't say/ Why owls and people and things get that way/ I wished for some terrible thing/ I'd say/ Especially trees falling down/ But that wish certainly didn't come true/ 'Cause scary mad wishes don't make things come true/No, scary mad wishes don't make things come true.
