There's so much to learn as I'm watching you grow, my son. You're still a baby and there is much work to be done.
Alright, well, Alex has got his little Spider-Man guitar here. Yeah, I got my Spider-Man shirt. We're gonna make some music right now. This is from the classic film. Three Amigos, written by Randy Newman, Blue Shadows.
Arizona moon, keep shining way up in the sky above. You know pretty soon that big yellow moon will bring us back to the one we love. Blue shadows on the trail.
Little cowboy, close your eyes and dream.
All of the doggies are in the corral after the day is done. So close your eyes and dream.
Blue Shadows.
