[Verse 1]
Little Pete was just kid
Who live around the corner of the street
Levi jeans and jelly beans
And a great big smile
For everyone he’d meet
He read comic books
And distant longing looks
They payed him when they passed
They would always wonder
Why he always looked so peaceful
So they asked
[Chorus]
He’d tell them try to see
The things that children see
An unsophisticated life’s
A great philosophy
They would smile
Through frowning eyes
And make their way
With thoughts of him in mind
Wishing they could be like him
And laugh and Smile
Without a thought of time
Little Pete is just a lesson
That we all should try to understand
Remember that he’s always by the corner
Of our life to give a hand
[Chorus 2]
He’d tell them try to see
The things that children see
An unsophisticated life’s
A great philosophy
Little Pete is just a lesson
That we all should try to understand
Remember that he’s always by the corner
Of our life to give a hand
