Busytown
Busytown is a fictional town inhabited by an assortment of anthropomorphic animals, as depicted in various books by the children's author Richard Scarry. Main characters of these books include the following: Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm, Mr. Frumble, police Sergeant Murphy, Mr. Fixit, Bananas Gorilla and Hilda Hippo.
In the mid-1990s Cinar (now Cookie Jar Entertainment) produced the animated series The Busy World of Richard Scarry, based around the inhabitants of Busytown. The series originally aired on Showtime in the United States. A board game and a computer game based on Busytown were also produced in the 1990s. Another animated series centered on Busytown, Busytown Mysteries, ran in the late 2000s.
Characters
Although the books contain a wide assortment of characters from different countries and backgrounds, there are some who appear in most of the stories as stars or guests making cameo appearances. For example, Huckle Cat, Lowly Worm and Sergeant Murphy, often appear in the illustrations even if they are not mentioned in the text.

A Man I'll Never Be
by: BostonIf I said what's on my mind
you'd turn and walk away
disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
that everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
(instrumental)
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
(instrumental)
Can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
Oh you look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you still see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
