Ole' What Cha Mccall
Way back, September, sixty-three
Dad took us to Yosemite
It wasn't really very far
To drive there in our family car
To my blessed, and great surprise
right before our very eyes
A car rolled slowly round the bend
A famous guy, and my dad's friend!
I'd heard his name on the T.V. set
I heard it, you did too I'll bet!
If you lived back in '63
Maybe you met him, just like me
I'll never forget that glorious fall
When my dad cried
"There's Ole' What Cha McCall!"
Well, if that was not enough delight
I told my friend from school that night
Excitedly I explained to her
Just where we saw him, and where we were
She cried out "Oh we were there too! We saw
Ole What Cha McCall!!! We did too!!!"
Nearly sixty years have passed
This finally came to me at last
Ole' What Cha McCall, at Yosemite
mighta' been her dad...…….
AND the dad of me....
Though Ole' What Cha McCall
not
the same guy be!
