<br>Hi, kids! It's me, your pal, the Boy Wonder, taking this opportunity to catch up on my fan mail. Even as a Boy Wonder it's really hard to read all the tons of mail I get. Here is a happy letter from someone just about your age:

 +
"Dear you, wonderful, fabulous, magnificent, exquisite Boy Wonder, A cold chill runs up my spine every time I see you sock a villain, and, oh, how I cry when you're even scratch. Please, don't send me a mimeograph copy of interesting facts about you, I want your handwriting. I have a whole wall on my room dedicated to you.

Oh, Boy Wonder, I'm making a gum wrapper chain to symbolize my love for you. It's going to be as long as I am tall, and I'm 5 foot 10 inches in stocking feet. Please, Boy Wonder, PLEASE, come next Saturday and sleep for a week or two. I will feed you breakfast in bed, I will make your bed for you, and I like you so much that I want you to spend the whole summer with me.

Lyrics


Boy Wonder, I love you
Boy Wonder, I love you
Ooh ooh ooh


Hi, kids! It's me, your pal, the Boy Wonder, taking this opportunity to catch up on my fan mail. Even as a Boy Wonder it's really hard to read all the tons of mail I get. Here is a happy letter from someone just about your age:

"Dear you, wonderful, fabulous, magnificent, exquisite Boy Wonder, A cold chill runs up my spine every time I see you sock a villain, and, oh, how I cry when you're even scratch. Please, don't send me a mimeograph copy of interesting facts about you, I want your handwriting. I have a whole wall on my room dedicated to you.

Oh, Boy Wonder, I'm making a gum wrapper chain to symbolize my love for you. It's going to be as long as I am tall, and I'm 5 foot 10 inches in stocking feet. Please, Boy Wonder, PLEASE, come next Saturday and sleep for a week or two. I will feed you breakfast in bed, I will make your bed for you, and I like you so much that I want you to spend the whole summer with me.


(I hope you know this is a girl writing)"


(swoon, shriek)


Boy Wonder, I love you
Boy Wonder, I love you

Lyrics


Hotcha!


I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-colored sky . . .
FLASH! BAM! ALAKAZAM!
Wonderful you came by


I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-colored view . . .
FLASH! BAM! ALAKAZAM!
I got a look at you


One look and I yelled "Timber!"
Watch out for flying glass,
'Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout,
Boy, I was shoutin', oh-wo, I was shoutin' stuff like,
"This is it, I-I've been hit! [...]"
Oh, I didn't know what kind of trick I was on . . .


Hotcha!


I was walking along, minding my business
When out of an orange-colored sky . . .
FLASH! BAM! ALAKAZAM!
Wonderful you came by


I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine
When out of that orange-colored view . . .
FLASH! BAM! ALAKAZAM!
I got a look at you
