folks we'd like you to meet a brand new

friend of ours his name is Bobby Q and

he's going to sing a song he wrote for

his parents who are sitting right down

[Music]

front there's a yearning deep inside of

every

Critter to find out what's beyond the

distant

Hill when you think of all the lights

and all the

glitter sometimes it feels like time is

standing

still and when you're looking down that

long Lonesome

Highway every now and then you get the

urge to

roam but when all your traveling through

one thing will still be true there ain't

no place like

[Music]

home now there's nothing wrong with

chasing after

rainbows cuz every Critter's got to have

a

dream sometimes I wish that I could be

an eagle

and fly just like a kite without a

stream sometimes I want to see beyond

the

byou and what it's like just living on

my

own but no matter where I go deep inside

I'll know there ain't no place like

[Music]

home

when I'm looking down that long Lonesome

Highway every now and then I get the

urge to

roam but when all my traveling through

one thing will still be true there ain't

no place like

home no there ain't no place no no place

like

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

home down in the swamp among the cypr

knees the big Live Oaks and the

evergreen trees be on the banks of L

lost Lagoon you can see big owls By the

Light of the

Moon you'll see all the critters of lost

Lagoon Billy Bop awesome and Joe raccoon
