Analysis of Radio Flyer
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
I’ll fix your little red wagon
If you’ll just lend me a hand
I gave you a Radio Flyer
So now follow my commands
My burden is easy; my yoke is light
Just do what I tell you
Don’t put up a fight
I built you a house
And I’ll come take you home
We’ll swim in the river
You won’t be alone
