Gene London - Let's Pretend

Let's Pretend

He sang this ditty before launching into a story:

Let's Pretend that it's story time
And I'll tell a tale to you.
I'll tell you a story of make believe
And all your dreams will come true.
And when the story's over
And when we reach the end.
We'll live happily ever after, Where?
In the land of Let's Pretend.

On Friday, November 20, 2009, Gene London was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia 's Hall of Fame.

Famous quotes containing the word pretend:

    Nobody knows what the cause is,
    Though some pretend they do;
    It’s like some hidden assassin
    Waiting to strike at you.
    Childless women get it,
    And men when they retire;
    It’s as if there had to be some outlet
    For their foiled creative fire.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    We urgently need a debate about the best ways of supporting families in modern America, without blinders that prevent us from seeing the full extent of dependence and interdependence in American life. As long as we pretend that only poor or abnormal families need outside assistance, we will shortchange poor families, overcompensate rich ones, and fail to come up with effective policies for helping families in the middle.
    Stephanie Coontz (20th century)
