===Arthur's Eyes version===
Say "hello" to Arthur! 
He just can't wait to meet you. 
He's off on an adventure, 
And really wants to see you. 
Come along with all his friends! 
Arthur is the friendliest aardvark, 
You'll ever get a chance to meet. 
He has a lot of fun, and sometimes problems, 
Just like you and me.

Welcome to Arthur's adventures, 
At home, at play, and school! 
He's just around the corner, 
Saving a place for you, 
So come along with all your friends! 
Arthur can't see the blackboard. 
The basketball court's a blur. 
Dr. Iris says, "I've tested your eyes, 
It's glasses for you for sure."
How would Arthur look when he wears them? 
What will everybody say? 
What if all the guys start to call him "four eyes"
And make fun of his new face?
So, say "hello" to Arthur! 
He just can't wait to meet you. 
He's off on an adventure, 
And really wants to see you. 
Come along and be his friend. 
Come along and be his friend!

Bombarding him with poetry?
