A children'
s TV program about "
weird animals" based on books by Marc
Brown. It features the eponymous anthropomorphic
aardvark Arthur Read dealing with everyday issues with his family and friends in Elwood City.
It's also known for its catchy theme song, which goes:
Everyday when you're walking down the street
everybody that you meet
has an original point of view.
And I say, "Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of
day
where you can learn to work and play
and get along with each other."
You got to listen to your heat. Listen to the beat.
Listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street.
Open up your eyes, open up your ears.
Get together and make things better
by working together.
It's a simple message,
and it comes from the heart.
Believe in yourself (believe in yourself),
for that's the place to start! (Start!)
And I say, "Hey! (Hey!)
What a wonderful kind of
day
where you can learn to work and play
and get along with each other."
"What a wonderful kind of
day!
What a wonderful kind of
day!"
